Reusing wheels is okay, but there are rims you probably should not. The softer rims like the Sweep rims, I'd probably not reuse. Certain of the Tamiya rims are substantial enough to reuse. The "foam" inserts like the Tamiya ones should not be reused. The molded inserts like the Sweeps, Rides etc can be reused a number of times. Frankly this is something I don't do, except for reusing the molded inserts. Wheels are inexpensive and cleaning the cyano off is best done in a lathe. Plus you can check them for being true or not.

Sorry, but gluing just one side is just horrible advice. It will lead to all sorts of weird angling issues I would think, but would not know for sure. Logic would tell me it would.
