"Glass" Wheels

[J_Parker]

Was wondering if anyone had ever seen this before, I was surfing the web to find a set for my car and stumbled upon these. I think they're pretty cool looking, but probably highly impractical for a useful application.

They're made out of some 2" thick polycarbonate and cost $5,000 for ONE :eek5:

Pretty cool, although kinda scary with that little sidewall on that cars tires.

I actually like them. But that could be me drooling at the big ass brakes behind them too. Not sure about air flow tho.....

I like them but yeah it would suck to try and keep the backs of them clean.

Hub less, sextuplet ball bearing, quad turbo, osmosis, wheels are my personal favorite ;)

I do think they're pretty neat, but BIG breaks are a must with them. Cleaning, ventilation, and weight would be my concerns with them. I can also see that the guy has stretched tires on them... Idiot lol.
