Just got these new set of wheels installed on my bike, very happy about the result, I think they look absolutely stunning. They are not from Rally Raid, although I do love Rally Raid products, I feel since it is a small GS it deserves a bit of the big GS style, so i fitted the cross spoked ones...

Correction: I just looked closer at your wheels and realized that they are not the same as those being discussed in the thread that I identified above. You wheels appear to be versions of what Rally Raid sells, with the spokes going through the rim in the center while the KKE/VMX wheels discussed in the above thread have cross-spokes that go through the rim at the rim edge outside they tire. I infer from your "They do seem to be tube friendly, I had to put one in the front, there was a nick in the silicon on the front wheel." comment that the inside of your wheels have a strip of material (silicone?) on top of where the spokes enter the rim to seal the rim for tubeless use (like Rally Raid's tubeless rims). In contrast, the KKE/VMX wheels, which are tubeless, don't have this spoke-sealing feature because their spokes penetrate the rim outside the tire on the edge of the rim. You can see this in the pictures below.
