I don't know about missing spokes but my TR-3 sat on its wires
with the tyres deflated for over 12 years. I now use those wheels
(plus a coat of paint) and I don't see any problem's. I did have
the wheels spin balanced when the tyres were installed on them and
that "may" have ballanced out some problem with the wheels but I
don't seem to have any vibration's or anything at least up to
about 80mph. I been drivin on um now for about 8 years.
