Might not be rated for the weight, so its your own risk..
Motorcycle tires are not designed to corner without leaning so they don't have the same side wall construction, that is why if you put a side car on your motorcycle you really need to install motorcycle tires that are designed for running with a side car.

I have to wonder how much use a rim like that can handle, I know the tires are not designed for continued use and that the rim is a bit lighter but there must be standards that it still has to meet, right?
