is it recommended for fixed gear bikes?

btw, I already had Maxxis Detonator 700x23c tyre for front & Kenda KwickRoller 7000x28c tyres for rear and maybe I'll go with GranCompe (Dia-Compe) 32H track hubs
DT says min. 1.5"/38mm width for that rim.

as far as suitability for fixed gear, why not? if the frame has clearance for 38mm tires, they will be great.
