Wheel revamp

In my bike restoration project, I want to share the wheel revamp. The wheels looked like this:
And after loads of elbow grease, it looks like.
Amazing what metal polish can do. Not fully satisfied though, I should have fine sanded some parts of the rim (still has some marks/dents in it).
I guess it would be a better revamp, if I where to replace the spokes and then be able to clean the entire rim and hub even better. However, I never build a tire, and that looks quite complicated.
Meanwhile, while I'm at it, should I replace the (1 cm wide) rim tape? Any suggestions?
