Saw this before and interesting concept, but can't say I like the looks. With it being a tire/wheel combination, they would have to come up with a much better looking product.

Can you get them in raised white letters? or gangsterwalls?
Does Bob at House of Wheels have these yet? DO they stick out past the body lines? What do they weigh? Do they come in touring and compettiton? SO many questions, so few answers.
