Can someone identify this bike? Is it worth $55? I like the bars. Looking for an old school bike to put skyway mags on to cruise around

Avoid.Mongoose seat which I recognize from ’00’s and ’10’s WalMart bikes. I see a circular badge on the headtube, which is also very WalMart Mongoose. Rear wheel has small axle. Sprocket is recognizeable as WalMart. One piece crank.
I think it’s likely someone took a WalMart bike and put some new bars on it. I am a little surprised it has a threadless headset, but the rest of the frame says “no way” to me. I could be wrong, it could be something a little nicer, but I’m seeing a few red flags here. Will look into it a little more though
Edit: Oh and those flame tires are 100% WalMart Mongoose. I specifically remember them on a [Mongoose Rebel](https://www.bmxmuseum.com/bikes/mongoose/121108) (40lb hunk of garbage bike) that my friend had. Those tires were ubiquitous because the bikes would fall apart and then the tires wound up on people’s spare parts bikes when their tires balded.Also looking at it, 48 spoke rear and front but small axle rear.. Unusual. It could be a “decent” late 90s bike, early 00s, or it could be a garbage 2010s bike. I can’t find an ID yet. Note, the Mongoose Rebel also has the same headtube badge, the circular WalMart one, seemingly.
