Body Shop Time, Tire Question

Time has come for a few repairs and and id rather not have my time attacks see the shop, but my previous wheels have been sitting stagnant for a little over a year, would it be safe to put them back on, id probably only travel 30 miles max and i dont really care about my stock rims, but im not sure, any input?

id think that the rims and tires would be fine...id worry more about the tires, just look for signs of cracks and fill them slowly

one way to check is put air in them, then place tires in a bowl of water and check for bubbles.

if you see bubbles then you got leaks.
