How can I tell the difference? I think they are solid. All I know is that when I took my Fikse wheels off and put these on for the winter I felt a big difference in weight and seat of my pants performance. My Fikse FM-5 18x10 wheel wieghts 22 lbs. I had to send one back for repair. Once it gets back I will be swapping and then can weight my OEM boat anchors.

Feel the back of the spoke with your fingers, if they are smooth they are hollow and if there are ridges then they are solid, my bet would be they are solids.
