.. Probably as strong as say the front forks/sliders. You see them torn up. But when they get that way, you're going down and you become the weak link.Maintenance is going to be high. More static display then practical riding A to B. B to A. But they are pretty.

My experience....(not just "thoughts") with HD cast wheels has been excellent. Your Amazon link is for Tarazon cast wheels. Never heard of them, so I did a little internet search, just for my own edification. It appears that the biggest issue folks have had with them is the anodizing coming off. Like most "fashion accessories"...they might look great when new but won't take much actual...you know,..ROAD time.
I suppose it depends upon what you want to do with the bike, once they are on it. Good Luck.

I think you are asking about the cast wheels in your link.
If so, I suggest you start a thread asking for feedback from people that actually have them.
If you are talking about cast wheels in general, they are fine..
That said, anything structuaral on a motorcycle that can break is potentially not safe. Witch pretty much means no motorcycle is safe by default.

Depending on what you ride, read what models they fit, and which ones they don't. Their description of fitment seems a little vague. And if you get these, be very careful about what you use to clean them because some chemicals will damage the finish.
It appears they do not fit Sportsters, models with ABS, Touring models 2009-2020** as shown below. But I'm not left with confidence that they don't fit Touring models 2009-2020, or only Touring models with ABS. But since it specifically list "models with ABS" and separately listed Touring models, I'd dig into that before buying them if you have a non-ABS Touring model bike."Suitable for these models:
Most models for Harley Touring / Dyna / Softail
**Please Notice: WILL NOT FIT Sportster models, models with ABS, Touring models 2009-2020**"
Personally, I'd save my money and spend it on other things for the bike. At 650 EU for the pair, I'd also question how well made they are. And as has been suggested above, find people that have actually used this brand and actual wheel to see how they held up and how the selling company covered any defects in materials or finish that may have come up.
