those are just a showcase so you can see the internal structure, if they come out they will have a sidewall on them for sure.

I don't think so. The sidewalls would definitely change the nature of the product with regard to handling, operating temperatures, etc. The things I've seen on these so far indicate that's the tire of the future.

I'm wondering if I can get them in white letter style and how you would keep the white letters from falling off.
