no idea.

Its 20" diameter of tyre, or thereabouts, that obviously varies with tyre profile.

Every other wheel i know of is measured as the size of the rim, not the tyre.

The size isn't going to tell you if they are pucka pro class or not mate but a piccy will  :)
If they came on a USA SG3 they should be alloy - cheaper models had "pro-steel" wheels - look a bit similar but not the same thing at all  ;)
