go show off your stock brakes! YES
I am sure that these are mainly for show use like was said in the posts on that site. They would look cool though in drift lol.

I saw those pics before… but a lot of people claimed they were fake…
but then again, there’s transparent aluminum as well…

so, who knows if those wheels are real or not… even if they used that transparent aluminum (technically, it’s Aluminate Glass)…

IIRC, only the military has the rights to produce the Aluminate Glass. Also this is a recent discovery and I can’t see it being used anytime in the near future for automotive purposes.
I think, if this was made from the transparent aluminum each rim would be worth the cost or more of the car.

you are probably right, that’s why a lot of people claimed the pics were fake.
