Hopefully, not the hard way!?

Pictures don't show them very well. But what I think I see? I don't like. I don't see enough opposing angles to give the wheels strength or resiliency. Not knowing the materials used? Leaves many major doubts.

I would like to see several better photos from several angles.

Bob Plegge in Denver had a set of those on a speedster. Does anyone remember Bob? Honestly one of the funniest guys I ever saw.

What a memory!
The text below says that Bob has been unable to find anything about the manufacturer. Has Hays type rims
