DRS said:Wouldn't use of rim tape be mandatory with such rims? I notice none was
used in the first picture. (The second I'm not so sure about).
It depends on the tube and pressure used. Snowbike tires are often

case rim tape might well be unnecessary. Of course the rim holes
would have to be well chamfered lest they chafe the tube.
