The first track bike I bought actually had BMX hubs on them. Shouldn't be a problem, unless you care about using a lockring on a fixed cog.

If the number of holes match, it's good for the rim. Do make sure that it's good for the frame, though. Axle diametre and spacing.

what frame are you goint to put these wheels in? I tried some BMX hubs ( spaced at 110 mm) on an MTB frame (spaced at 135 mm) and found that I could only get a good chainline on the inner ring of the triple. Leaves you with a very few gearing options.
