Subject: [CR]Fiamme rim question

I recently received a good Fiamme red label rim in a group of wheels that came with a bike I bought. It is built up as a road wheel but it has angled sidewalls and an 8mm flat. The flat is the same width as on the Arc en Ciel's I usually use.The angled sidewalls suggest that it could be a track rim but the 8mm flat hints that it is intended for brakes. I have never worked with Fiammes so I don't know what to make of this, is it a road or a track rim? Do all Fiamme rims have angled sidewalls?
