They look like they might be 650b. Are they straight? Do the brake tracks seem worn out? Many collectors of old French stuff need replacement rims, and from here they look like good quality.
They are different from the rims you have on the bike in another picture, which appear to be steel and lower quality.
I don't think the original rims are 650b. They did have the weinmann logo around the valve. They are aluminum and they look very similar to a set a super champion rims I have from my Peugeot ph10. Same shape. There a little ruff but probably still useable.
The ones that are on the bike now are most likely Nisi Toro rims. I don't want to spend to much money on this bike right now. So I'm using stuff i Already have. They do look a little small for the frame. So I might change the rims later.
