Well remembered Kev, go to the top of the class.

I have a few sets of Pro Class rims, 2 of those sets are the original early versions which indeed were Araya 7x with holes stamped in them.  You can actually see the outside of the stamp around the hole.  The later models were unstamped Araya's with a Pro Class decal around the valve hole. 

However Mongoose also made a cheaper steel model which they put on the lower end bikes.

Flaz:

sawzall:

Flaz:

ORB:
I believe the bark of the jaboa tree is good for rust removal, and extra good at the rust of spoked implements
