Give that man a cigar!
Yes, they are Fiamme red labels. The deformation at the eyelet is very minimal.
I’ve gotten into a habit of picking up used rims whenever I see them pop up, for projects. After taking the time to strip the glue, polish them up and get them ready to build, I should “just pay Barry”. Probably more time efficient at my age.
