A wire wheel

Looking through my wire wheels. I have 3 that appear to be in good shape. One that seems ok but it appears to have been run flat and there are 6 broke spokes for some reason. The fifth one seems be ok at the hub and spokes but has a lot of rust on the rim part itself and the tire valve hole is rusted out to a large hole.
If anybody has any wire wheel parts they plan on junking, etc. let me know. I basically have to have 5 of these because of the splined wheels.
 
I have a stack of them as well, Kim, but all sorted thru. The ones I have all have problems. Most have worn splines.

Thank you folks. I am spending the day by the fire today. I have one of the worst colds I have ever had and seem to be getting weaker by the day. Today and tomorrow will be down days. I need to be well enough for work Monday. My dad seems to have made it through heart valve replacement and triple bypass surgery. I have been just worried sick about that. I certainly don't want dad to catch this cold and so I did not go visit him today, just called on the phone. At some point I need to go through the wheels again and check splines etc. You guys reminded me of this. I need to check all the splines and see if this is really worth doing or if I can come up with any ideas about that.
