I've managed to find some 26" and 27.5" rims. Can someone tell me why these are so cheap? What's that catch?

Sleeved rim, cup & cone bearings and races likely made to high tolerances, potentially agricultural seals.
Probably completely fine for a runaround, but don't expect the hubs to last through many winters.
