I'm on Tom's side. These were stock on many Motobecanes and I hated to deal with customers with bent rims. A very soft alloy. All too easy to true!

126mm spaced, and the rear wheel would not stay true. Even a 20 mile ride
would have the rim rubbing the brake blocks half way through the ride. I
weighed about 190 pounds then, and had 28 mm tires on. I replaced it with a
Super Champion 58 and had no further troubles.

in the rear.
