Old school stuff right there. Those are called Mags (which are basically plastic rims). They were pretty cool in the 80s/early 90s. Although they look cool, they are heavier than spoked rims and tend to flex a lot when ridden hard.
Worth restoring? Maybe if you just want them for the retro looks but as I said they are worse than spokes so I wouldn’t really bother if you’re looking to really use them.

We called them tuffs in my day. Looked a little different thought.
