Spin rims are very, very weak and would last about 2 hours for most flatlanders.
When asked to test them for DIRT - the rider snapped them on his second run through the course. Yes, he bailed - but on his FIRST bail, they broke.
Waste, waste, waste of money!
Chrome plated rims with a freecoaster are what you want for flat if you can afford it.
Chrome plated with NO freecoaster if you can't afford it.

Kids who own Target or KMart bieks probably can't afford Spin wheels, as they probably cost as much as the complete does. And as for who actualyl does use them, the answer is racers.

its possible that they're made of carbon/carbon fiber, but rims made of carbon, wouldnt be able to stand up to much besides just riding with out jumps or bumps for that matter.

Spin Rims are made of carbon fiber. Trust me they have see some nasty off road XC trails over the last 5 years. They are still true and never had a problem. Well woth the 5 bones I put down for them. Not to mention the Bling they add to the bike - turnes every head for a second look.
