One of the advertised features for Lester wheels was that they were tubeless. But the size marking on the wheel should include the letters TL for "tubeless"

Here is the markings from the rear Lester for my 750F note the TL after the rim width (3.00)

Also, for what it is worth, I ran the Lesters on my 550 tubeless with no issues.  When I get home I can confirm what markings they have.

I can also confirm that at least for the 750F there is an 18x3.00 version, since that is what my wheel is.

Not sure what you meant with lip so provided a pic on the rim side
They say TL so I guess it's fine without tubes then?

T means Tube , whereas TL means Tubeless. But, that said...folks here indicate they can run Tubeless on rims marked for a tube...
