I would be very concerned about how "much" milling your wheel encountered. Aluminum alloy wheels have good structural strength when new, but even a little damage can create a hazardous situation. I would at the very least make this wheel your spare after repairs are done. I personally removed my dust shields as they trapped mud in the brake components whilst off-roading. If you keep them or remove them, it's really up to personal preference, biased on driving conditions. I would seriously look at the brake hose and fittings on both ends. You might want to be safe and replace front hose(s), and fittings while in there. Also, check all front end components while the corner is apart. Bearings, ball joints, tie rod ends, etc...
