Coming from you, that really isn't an insult.


As far as the brand/model of the wheels themselves, I would say something in the line of a Borbet knock-off wheel. It looks like a standard wheel that's available (or was available) at any typical walk in discount wheel shop. Nothing to strike a fancy for, seeing as they're quite common.
