Are these wheels an offence or MOT failure?

As per the title.

Would the below wheels be an MOT failure, and if so, for what reason?

Also, what would be the offence, if any, of using them on the road?

Thanks

They look like props from Ben-Hur

I think they look quite silly, and I am trying to point out to a friend that they are also an offence as well as silly.
