One of my freinds sent this to me today. They appear to be semi-transparent rims. Anyone ever seen anything like this before?

 

they look nice and expensive.

 

I have had that idea in my head for a while now but never knew how to pull it off materialwise though. thats hot!

 

hmm.... what kinda material could that be?

 

maybe its just a great photoshop.

 

They don't look semi transparent to me sorry .I would't trust the meterial anyway.Especially hard as we drive.

 

The only material I could thing off would be some time of plastic or resin. They can make them pretty strong, but I still wouldn't trust them for my rims.

 

Another pic.

 

That looks like a piece of lexan cut to fit the wheel. Although lexan is used for bullet proof glass and etc, I wouldn't trust it for a wheel. Besides, heat from the brakes might soften the material during extented use.

 

yeah. they would be more of show rims than anything else.

 

i dont like it

 

as if our wheels dont have brake dust issues now. but they look cool in the picture.

 

it has to be photoshopped coz let's say there Was a transparent wheel out there, it wouldn't last 5 min clean coz the brake dust would constantly darken the inside of the wheel. How would you clean that off??

I say its fake

 

i can see through it.Could it be a photo shop.I can see the ground inside the wheel under the car.

 

That is a 3 piece rim.I don't know kinda cool but i wouldn't trust it.Heat and brake dust.
