You can check out the following websites concerning Fiamme rim catalogs of the period. The rims I have measure 18mm wide and have the exact v-shaped profile shown in the catalogs. The catalogs specify a 19mm width for the track rims but the road rims are 21mm and look nothing like what I have. The track rims in the catalog specify a weight of 310 grams. The rims I have weigh 316 grams on my not precise shipping scale. Based upon all this I am almost certain these rims are, in fact, track specific.

One last thing, they are sold and will be shipping out today.
