I hadn't realised they made them to be honest. What can you say really? They look fine, but I don't think I've ever seen anybody using stainless rims, full stop.

I thought stainless rims were more prone to cracking ? might be wrong but seem to recall issues a few years ago.
Stainless is stronger but is more "brittle" (might be wrong word ?) than mild steel, the rigidity of the stainless could be a tributary factor in it developing stress cracks..................just my thoughts
