I'm not sure I understand your question.

Is it possible for Workman wheels to be ridden, on a bicycle, on the highway? Absolutely. Anywhere the bicycle is legal. (ie.; not on the interstate)

Or are you thinking of putting them on a motorcycle or something?

Lol, my bad, let me rephrase. Is it possible to drive a bike with worksman wheel on the highway? Would the wheels be able to handle the stress of the road?

Yes. Worksman wheels are a very capable brand for a bicycle but you should not be riding among car traffic at car speeds on a bicycle even if you can.
Bikes are simply not built for sustained 30+mph speeds.

Car drivers barely see each other even in huge SUV's.... tiny bicycles are invisible!
You want to ride with traffic, buy a motorcycle.

Understood, the main reason I was asking because im going to start a pro street sport bike style build and I'm going to use a fat rear wheel and a smaller front. I was thinking that a worksman wheel would perfect for the front wheel.

The wheels would be fine, but finding a speed rated tire that would hold up is limited to a Simplex. Better off with a moped wheel, it opens up your options to a nice choice of tires.
