Ok...retarded idea...How do you clean them huh? Ya, let me please take of my rim every 100 miles and clean the inside of my rims. Also, how on earth don't your brakes overheat.
Sounds like a SEMA product for show only.

You had better keep your suspension clean with those or it would look like sh*t!! Interresting though. I haven't seen them before.

These wheels are good for show cars only. They would get dirty the first time you stop at a light. Have fun cleaning them.

I gotta get me some of those!

That has to be a photochop. Who in their right mind would drive a high performance sports car with plexiglass wheels!?!
