I don't know that the rings could imbue their wearers with wisdom. Their primary functions were preservation and kindling hearts to great deeds. It makes sense that the ringbearers would be greeted with respect and admiration on their arrival in Eressëa and Valinor, but I doubt that at this late stage in Elven history, when "an end was come for the Eldar of story and of song" (Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age), much emphasis would be placed on social standing.
