Are these HED rims real?

[kccourtney]

These look a little wierd to me. Kind of thin layup and wierd surface appearance. I've never seen a pair in real life but looked at as many images as I can. Can anyone weigh in on this? Thanks.

If the Hubs are Deore LX then HED did a cheaper OEM series for (I think) Proflex back in the day

They look gen to me, I’ve seen them painted black before like those although mine and nearly all I’ve seen are lacquered carbon.

Thanks boxxer. Hubs are paralax and these are off of a Pro-Flex. Cheers.

Were the Pro-Flex ones fiberglass painted black?

Close enough, they were using black tinted resin. I have a pair of those. Not as fancy as the CF ones but you get the HED look on a budget.
