Clear Wheels

wow 2k thats amazing and hot at the same time!

Ive personally never liked the clear rim look…If you gonna do it you better have a big brake upgrade to go show up back there…

Class site.
Your site has very much liked me.
Different work!!!

Oh man im so tired of people reffering to thigs as “Ricer” you dont even know how to critiqe something you uts want to rip on it.
Me personally,I dont like these wheels but theyre great for show applications like showing off big brake kits ans shocasing tire sizes and stuff like that.
I saw these wheels in an issue of modified or sport compact or something and im not personally into them but theres an application for anything.
You dont have to trash talk them cuz of theyre weight.Its not like your gonna take a set of these to the track.
Different strokes for different folks.
And as far as spinners on these wheels …..well i wont say anything about spinners but id ont own a 50 cent CD thats for sure.
And for you domestic kids that think if something has as much as a honda badge on it and call it a ricer wait till theres a turn inthe road and that car kisses your “rustang” goodbye.
Just remember its all about the application and the context of things. Every car is good its just what you do with it.

I wonder if you could have a custom design etched into the polycarbonate sheets…perhaps it would weaken the structure?

I must say I’m not to keen on them, what would happen if you were driving along and someone shot at the polycarbonate and it shattered…a nasty accident that’s wot!

It seems like a good idea but i really need to see the whole wheel itself. People talking about putting spinners on them thats just dum. Good comments thou i like this web site holla back peeps.

Those are just plain gay. There’s no better way to describe them.

Idiots. Saw these while back. Heavier than just about any wheel out there. No real styling to it. It’s plain jane clear polycarbonate. Wow, It’s sooo mad tyte yo!!! Just another Ricer addition to the automotive world.

Them rim is what’s up let me know when there are in the stores. Because I wouldn’t mind geting a set.

I guess they do make these wheels for motorcycles…goto this page http://www.myspace.com/mlkbath he wants abot $3900 a set…they bad ass!

you get me a set of 24’s and ill test them on my 71 olds… then we will see how they hold up. but im not responsable for them, or the cleaning

Ike, you’re an idiot. First, there wasn’t any “drifting” in that video. What you and your retard friend were doing is called “doing donuts.” Second, a hard turn involves going something faster than 20mph in an empty parking lot. Third, hard braking and brake dust also involve going something faster than 20mph in an empty parking lot. Fourth, you’re still an idiot.

maybe have some carbon wheels instead then?

Them bitchs are bad!

all you people are out there hateing because you did not think of it first.

I was involved in a concept of these wheels a couple of years ago and the plexiglass compound was 1.3 times as strong as a forged aluminum wheel. I just hope someone finally makes these wheels for a motorcycle!!! Looks fast standing still!!!!

love them but can it stand up to high torque

I say put some spinners on these and they will be very high on the “pimpin’ list”! Pricy, but as sweet as Jessica Simpson’s ass.

First off D’Vinci’s clear wheel is the gayest concept I’ve ever seen. Second, there booth looked like they wanted to be like Giovanna. That wheel is a Joke, who ever buy’s these is wasting their money.

those are hot i work for d’vinci and please if u can afford to buy them u can afford to clean them
GET YOUR BREAD UP if u wanna get some D’Vinci’s =P

For good or for bad, these wheels have put the spotlight on the wheel industry again. Spinners, floaters, and lighted wheels are all old news. These clear wheels, as dysfunctional as they are, represent new thinking in the industry and that is a good thing.

frickin sweet but i wish they had spokes

Now if only this company would make a bikini!!

Listen I was at the Sema show and let me tell you these wheels did not look very safe.

Wheels look terrible.

This is the most retarded idea I have ever seen. Meant for trailer cars and show nerds.

P.S.- Hey CarDomain, I have some mad tyte JDM models with teh ubAr swingout doors, wanna do a photoshoot?!? I am teh r0X!!!11

try making a left turn goin 45mph with those
i can pretty much guarantee that the front right one will snap

Someone who can afford dropping $2k per rim can afford to take their car in for regular detailing, and thus leave the problem of figuring out an easy way of cleaning them to the boys at the detail shop.

Lexan wheels would weight 5% more than their 6061 T-6 Aluminum counterparts. That aluminum has a compressive strength to weight ratio of 345,000 inches. Lexan Polycarb comes in at 328,000 inches. (A filament of that height would break.) The rim could be Lexan as well.

Agreed with Franz, this is only a show car rim. this serves no function on a car other than a show piece. it is definately heavier than a three piece because for plastic to either be that dense or that thick, would require more weight.

Imagen trying to keep those clean…

it’d be prettty sweet if they could incorporate a penis to the design.

No one wondering about the temp that the brake will reach with that closed wheel??

i think the only good purpose of these is for show only…… for $2k each you don’t want them scratched, shattered, dirtied, etc

agree on brake dust, but great concept. maybe some holes on the wheel so you could reach around and clean.

how would you clean the inside without taking off the wheel?

polycarbonate is very heavy… I doubt it can be lighter than a 3 piece.

Yeah — I bet these will look just great after about 5 miles of actual driving. Brake dust alone will coat the inside of these things and they’ll look like crap.

These are an AMAZING idea. Even better if they put a chrome or body colored spinner on it, so it’d look like it spinning on air.

TO CARDOMAIN: )U guys and gals seriously have some of the BEST event coverage ive ever seen online. MAD MAD MAD PROPS. please check out my customized model cars, and i dont want to be greedy, but a feature would be MOST MOST MOST APPRECIATED. U ever seen a model with 180 DEGREE LAMBO’S on the front and LAMBO’S ON THE REAR?!? Well i did that to one of my models

I wonder how much they weight? Could they be lighter than even a 3-piece wheel? I think personally that they are awesome, especially for a car with something like a gran turismo Brembo brake kit.
