if i am not wrong, with glass on the rims. u at least need 4-6 inch of templated glass. and it with be easily broken if there is a small chip.

Oh! and if you look closely to the bottem pic, you can see all the nipples on the tire. It appears that they won't move the car with them bolted on either.

I don't think the rotors would get wet at all with these rims on.

that's retarded looking. obviously these are for show only. you try to do anything rough with these wheels on and you're asking for trouble. brake dust would suck too. definately not a functional item.

If I remember right, there used to be a rim (in the mid 90's) that basically was a one-spoke design. That was stupid too.

you want strong and light, PM me about Dymag carbon fiber/magnesium wheels

OEM manufacturer for aston martin, koenigesseg, molser and used by leading tuners o race 911's and on tons of motorcycles, they're finally being sold for the street. price is somewhat cost restrictive so if you want to be unique..that'll be the way to do it for a long time (i'd say its a long time before that technology ever filters down to ricers

The Mazdaspeed Magnesium wheels are around $1400 per wheel. I'd imagine those carbon/magnesium wheels are twice that.
