Yep, it appears to be carbon bonded to aluminum hub and rim. I will check the bond area for further damage.
That damage looks like it's not on the spokes, so I personally wouldn't worry about it too much.
It actually is. All the pictures of damage are of damage on the leading or trailing edges of the spokes, close to the outer ends where they join the rim. I think the guy that used them on a wheelchair had some grab-rings attached with clamps to the spokes, and I surmise they caused most of the damage I have pictured.
I don't really have a bike that "goes" with them, so I may put them up for sale for an attractive price someplace, with full disclosure of course. Anything I make is profit since they were given to me.
