Ah, so it would actually be easy to swap two tires for just the photoshoot and then remove it when he needs to move another inch.

I saw some of those up close at the Chicago auto show a few weeks ago. Whatever those are made of (Lexan?), that shit is like 2 inches thick!

Not too bad if you have the bling brakes etc to show off

The concept of the rims is cool. That car up there is garbage.

my problem with the clear wheels is that you get no brake cooling at all through them, just solid polycarb...
and i hope that isnt a DD because with those stock rotors he wont be stopping very fast

Im no chemist, but those wheels are obviously made of some type of plastic, correct? Now wont the plastic warp and begin to burn from the heat generated by the brakes?

The clear rims are cool, but cars with big rims like that are just stupid. Also 6G72Galant the rims are said to be maid of the same material as space shuttle windows. So they can take more heat than the breaks can make.

I'd say it is the other way around. The car is kinda old school, I like that.

Iok. But wouldnt there be a problem with brake dust building up on the inside of the wheel? I just dont understand how people find rims that huge and clear sexy. I mean, maybe itd be cool if it was a race car racing at nite, and you could see the calipers/rotors glowing from the heat. But that just looks kinda retarded. And why would you have huge ass rims, but have tiny ass rotors? Thats like me buying a Ford F650 and stickin 18's on the bitch. It just dont look right. :lol:
