My fuzzy memory tells me that Dayton made some wheels (at the behest of British 
Wire Wheel?) wider than stock width so they would have the room to put in the 
ridges to make them "safety rims", then they had a method to seal the wheels so 
that tubeless tires could be used.

Has the seller made any mention of the wheels being appropriate for tubeless 
tires?
