Akront was a brand of competition alloy rims that were put on old European dirt bikes. They were far lighter than the steel rims Japanese bikes were running at the time. The "yellow" rims were the newest, lightest but also, the softest because they didn't have a shoulder like the "red" rims. Any big rock would bend them if you were running low pressure. The reds were stronger but would pack with mud and become really heavy on a muddy track.

Time to upgrade
Fixin' the wheel dent with my 6" C-Clamp. There are so many dents on the front wheel. It is shacking the frontend at speed with a side to side wobble.
Anyone know a good Dual Sport that comes with Aluminum rims? Or an Apollo DB36 with larger gas tank...

Are those expensive forks? I would never like that color anyway. Good thing I didn't buy a MXS bike, lol https://www.ebay.com/itm/192972892147
