What the ... ?

Instead of spokes, those wheels look like they have a mesh of some sort ... who'da thunk it?

thay are Poly Carbonate plastic!

easy to clean?

very nice... i like uniqueness.

some small neon lights behind there would look amazing!

they are a wicked set of rims hate to think what price they are.
wonder how good they would look after a few years.

i would think for the price they would be easy to clean

poly carbonate plastic gets scratches alot easier than metal.

ud have to be careful cleaning it

I'd question the strength of these ... Cool for show though.

tuf rims.....

its mad how u can see thru to the brake calipers n everything...
imagine wen braking hard fr high speeds wen ur disc get so hot they light up....
it wud look like his wheels have lights or something.....

Photo shop. These can't be real or if they are you couldn't drive on them

hmm perspex what a great idea

What happens to the perspex when the brakes heat up?

nope they are real!

it might have some other component preventing heat contact

wow they look pretty awesome in my opinion

i wouldn mind aset of those on my sportivo

haha would have to get bigger brakes but LOL

and some neat little neon lights

that would look cool too haha

but what im saying is our sportivo brakes
although i think work GREAT for such little disks

they would look awfuly small and funny in such an open wheel haha

some big brembos will look good

GOOD
haha they would look AWESOME
LOL but if you were to get the big ones you couldnt go any smaller rim than 19 inch LOL

hey those clear rims are sik, it'd look fully sik when you brake you get a whole light show included anyways i just wanted to know if i could fit 17" rims on my car wit 7.5" dey would 4x100 ey? its d new toyota corolla ascent 2006 model, well if anybody knows any good upgrades 4 my car let me know please!

what about the brake dust... that would be a mofo >_<;; ...stone chips etc.etc. Would it be game over if u scratched the side of the rim , if it was only one sheet, the structural integrity of the thing would be detreimented, no? O_o

i'd hate to clean the brake dust from those rims, u'd most probably need to take the entire rim off to get to the inside.

Where abouts are you from? 4x100 is correct. 7.5" I'm not sure, you'll have to check your states vehicle modification rules. Here in Victoria, it's a one inch rule... stock wheels are 6", so max you can go legally is 7". Rolling diameter no more than 20mm too I think. You can go 17, 18, 19" as long as you are within those guidelines... and of course make sure your insurance company approves your modications too before you go ahead.

thanks for the help! well i live in the N.T plannin to buy 17" rims soon 2 pimp my ride up, if anyone in this forum know any good upgrades 4 my car tell me? it'd b a help

thay are Poly Carbonate plastic! Strong!

So they difficult to scratch the plastic

Strength is different to hardness. Lexan, the stuff they use in bulletproof glass etc, can be scratched with your fingernail. Polycarbonate is commonly used in CDs, and as everyone knows they scratch right before your eyes.

Polycarbonate has toughness, not hardness. This is a good thing, as very hard things tend to be quite brittle, and shatter easily. Glass, for example, which is hard enough to use for crockery (and doesn't get scratched by knives) but drop it on the floor and it will shatter very easily.

Polycarbonate loses it's toughness as soon as you drill it though as it provided a source for crack propagation. Unless they cast the rim faces to shape they would be useless around the wheel studs and crack as soon as the wheel rolled.

Most likely these are made from Trivex™ produced by PPG and developed for military use as a better bullet proof glass than the current Acrylic based 'polymer glasses'

ok il leave the debate up to you scientists!

But dylan i think you may be onto something in your last paragraph

these are real rims... could u do a burnout with these rims with out cracking?

definatley
you wouldnt be able to sell them if they couldnt handle the same amount of stress as your everyday rims
