You could use them for street use, the rims have brake tracks and 32 cross 3 pattern build is a classic strong but forgiving lacing pattern.
The Conti Supersonics are the lightest tyres with no puncture resist strip and a thin rubber tread unsuitable for "Skid Stops" well more than three of them ....
The hubs are really smooth but they are not sealed bearings, so less than ideal in the wet and the finish is polished alloy so a bit prone to corrosion if neglected.
In short ,
yes,
posh street wheels for posing in the dry !
