I've never seen these before. They look like they would make great auto-x wheels though. Any help would be appreciated.

They do look similar, though I've never seen a set with that low an offset.

I don't think the offset is really that low. The outside goes inward quit a bit but the center where the wheel is mounted isn't really that far inward.

What I want to know is what is the point of racing a hybrid?

look like a really wide set of Rota slipstreams. look into it and see what widths they offer and at what offset and may be you can get something close to that.

If you are just looking for the curved spoke look the "TE37 CUP" wheels look similar to those.

I don't know where that pic is from but we recently had a race around here... it was made to promote alternative solutions to fuel and to show that such solutions don't mean less performance... here's a link:

Edit: Technomagnesio ans Speedline make similar five spoke wheels. Maybe they have a deep offset models with curved spokes too.
