Mine? Just kidding...those clear ones at SEMA were pretty crazy.





I bet if you hit a pothole with these pappies, you'd be done. Might as well have AAA on speed-dial.

Not on their site for sale yet, articles say they're about 2K for a set. They come in 20, 21, and 22" sizes.

can you imagine how much grime and brake dust would be on them? Not to mention, if you did some spirited driving, I'm sure the brakes and area behind the wheel would heat up faster than normal wheels because no air is getting in there--I don't know what the melting point of polycarbonate is, but it can't be too high. Definitely a car show-only wheel.


Doesn't the guy below in this picture look like he's wearing a cowboy hat because of the logos behind his head? LMAO. Just noticed that.

Agreed. I think i would tolerate it more if it were on pieces of crap like Hyundais or a Toyota Camry or something--but the responsible parties for creating these cars are ruining classic, hard-to-find automobiles. bleh. same with lowriders. those things are stupid too.

These have to be the craziest ones i've ever seen. They run $2 million a set for them and contain 26000 diamonds and 1200 rubies or sapphires.
