Yes they are stock wheels. I haven't seen many with these. I like them but I like mags more. They are definitely nice for a spoke wheel.

I was under the assumption they had tubes? This is the first I have heard of this. I've only had the bike about 8 months so I haven't had to change tires yet.

Smoothies = tubeless
It's all win, all the time. Those take-offs would be worth some coin. Very desirable.
Shame about those shocks, though.

My son had a 2015 StreetBob with those in black. They are nice wheels. Never looked close at his to see if they had tubes or not. He traded last fall for a new 17 SGS so will never know. Huge advantage cleaning those over the regular spoke wheels.

I've got mixed information about whether or not they are tubeless. I do know some smoothies are but also some dealers put tubes in them because they are a pain to get to seal correctly. Also mine do not have tubeless stamped in them anywhere like some have said it should if they are in fact tubeless.

lol those shocks are coming off right after the wheels. I haven't had the bike long enough to do too much to it. I bought it with that exhaust already on it but other than that and the hi-flow air cleaner it was bone stock. I'm not too crazy about the exhaust either. I scraped it in a turn on the way home with the bike. It will probably be one of the next things to go. Along with some of the chrome.

Actually a very easy way of telling if you have tubes or not. Tube valve stem will have a nut on it where tubeless valve stem will not. I can't see either valve stem in your photo to be abal to tell.
