i just dont know if i would trust those

IIRC its a form of aluminum, so it “should” be safe, that said I don’t think it looks good and being different isn’t important to me so I just am not interested in it period. I also imagine its insanely expensive, as is are all new trends, for that money I would be all over a set of high quality forged wheels that are proven and respect in all circles.

Anybody else see a problem with this picture?

Thats a show car, just for the wheels. You can see on the other side there is another set of 30s. Is that what u think is wrong? Other than it being a donk? lol

The fact that the other two “see through” wheels are on lay-away :lmao

i have a set of those on my riding lawn mower!

Hmmm with the different materials… The lexan (I’m guessing about material for clear portion) expands at a different rate than the rest of the wheel when heated and rotating- not to mention is more prone to cracking. Kind of a cool idea for show cars but not sure about rolling down the street in those… I’ll take my aluminum 14"s thank you.

weRd!

those things would get scratched up and dirty instantly.

Its not a composite(lexan/plexi), its a form of aluminum known as Transparent aluminum, its cutting edge stuff and extremely expensive but can be re-polished and is stronger then steel. Look it up on google, while its cool its not close to worth the price and a solid wheel looks like dog shit, weather its clear or not.

shit, and here I thought they actually found a way to make clear metal.
from what I read it’s just an aluminum oxide composite - a ceramic, although it is supposed to be really strong.
maybe it won’t get scratched but considering it’s a big solid surface it will still get nasty and dusty in no time.
I’d take hubless wheels over it any day.

rear drums… hehehe

I still want to know why only the driver side wheels are clear.

Even for a photoshoot it’s stupid to promote a product thats clear and have solid non see through wheels on pass side.

Unless they are only clear looking one way :confused

no the other 2 dont match, the lip on both sides of that clear part are orange onthe drivers side and on the passenger side they are metal

donks are f-in dumb IMO plain and simple. the brakes look downright hilarious too. :lol

Can we start the national hunt for Donks and set em all on fire in one large pile? :headbang

those are nasty, and there probably wicked expensive :gay
