Can someone conform that they are serialized?

You can still sell it for a pretty penny. No one is going to take the wheels and tires off to see the serial numbers.

From a random relevant article...

The hollow spokes use a foam core, and Carbon Revolution also embeds an RFID chip in each wheel, something not possible with metal wheels. The company currently uses the chip to provide authentication against counterfeit parts, but the chip can also be used to identify the car for which the wheel was designed, down to specific VIN.

From Carbon Revolution's own site...

Each wheel is fitted with an RFID chip, allowing the Carbon Revolution engineers to track every wheel throughout the manufacturing process and the wheel’s service life. The RFID system ensures 100% part tracking, allowing identification and verification of all material batches, processes, operators, checklists, processing data and end-of-line testing.

Each wheel also has a serialized number on a sticker on the inside barrel face.
