i wouldn't trust those rims...

 

I would not move the car with them on.

 

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.

 

Just think how our rusted rotors would look with these mounted

 

they claim not only we can save gas consumptions, they are indeed strong and very light

 

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.

 

video link w/ the developer talking about these rims...

loooooooooool .... oh man ... that was a good video.... what is next a glass car....loooool

 

the intervewer does not believe him..."really?" he keeps saying and nor wood I. Have you guys seen the tireless wheels, that are all metal and flexible?

 

Blah!

 

really i have to see that ... alllll metal.. how.. ? LINK plz no more flats...

 

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

 

what do they run ....

 

It is called a tweel made by michelin. they are using them on robotics I guess, but there are some pictures of them on an audi

Tweel

 

I'm guessing a shitload...

 

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

 

actually, in a porsche size which is roughly 18x10 as i recall your looking at around 1300$US a rim (us domestic price, not canadian imported price).
