The hub is BSA, but the rim isn't.
To my personal opinion, a good looking custom version of a plunger.  *wink2*

 scratchin' my head here... why do you ask? that QD wheel is already on a Plunger ride where it belongs, but if you want to put it or similar on a Swing-Arm ride ('54/5/6), it may need a different offset/setup (?)
 I'm with Morris, nice looking ride, but curious about the front-end...??

 Sorry sixpack I'm still confused...it's only a 'Harley wheel' if it has 'Harley' stamped on it, or if it's on a Harley   *eek*

 Is that your bike pictured or the wheel you've been offered, on a different bike ?

 If that ^^ is the case, I say if it works on that bike, it should work on yours, and not being an 'original' build, it shouldn't matter too much so long as it goes round and keeps you happy *beer*
