Wow! It will be really good for show off ;)

One thought that comes to my mind is that bicycles rims are not like motorbike or car alloys which have enough lateral thickness. I would suspect the ability to remain trued with just three spokes in a bicycle rim. Or are they as rigid as glasses, non-bendable?

[Pradeep Naidu]

I don't know.. that's why I needed your opinion...

[Pradeep Naidu]

Also the price looked like a steal..

Should be safe enough for commuting.. and the looks are indeed spectacular.. Quite an eye turner! Just as you shouldn't use a 100 USD walmart 'MTB' on the trails, this too probably shouldn't be taken for any offroading, though the product description says 'MTB'.
