I think it looks awesome! But like firstninjabike said, once the material used on those wheels becomes cracked, it's all over.

HAHAHA, I cannot see myself going anywhere close to 30mph on those and feel safe just by looks alone. They look nice for a show car for sure.

Definetly a show car only, mostly because of brake dust though.

It mentions that the stuff is 2" thick. I dont see that stuff breaking all that easy....


Great Idea in my book though!
