I've used the axles for years with no problems, but I suppose you can be cited for anything these days as the regulations are too complex for the average joe to comply. Or I've just been lucky, who knows.
To solve the odd size rim issue, I set the MH hubs up in the lathe and cut back the clamp area flat to provide a nice flat area for a rim.
