Can you identify make of this rim?

Can someone identify the make of this 27" alloy clincher rim. There is
not much to go on.. It was on a Lambert (early 70's). Any ideas?

Yes, it does look similar to a Weinmann 210. Lambert used various
vendors but I don't recognize those label remnants. Could be a
Nisi-Evian, a single wall rim from Weinmann or from just about any other
European rim maker of the era.
Wolber was making both molded and handmade tires (& clinchers) then but
hadn't yet acquired SuperChampion's rim operations so it's not a Wolber.

The rim and the transfer do not look like the Evian rim i've left over
from a Viscount. Wasn't the dimpled spokeholes a Weinmann feature?

Well, yes, and also a Birmalux feature and just about everyone else at
that time. Whetever it is, Viscount may have rebadged the rim
themselves or, as with Nisi-Evian, purchased through a distributor with
house labels. Dunno.
