Clear Polycarbonate Wheels...
Discussion
First saw them in rap videos around 5 years ago?
Guess they didn't catch on because
a) Brake dust, good luck cleaning the inside of that bugger
&
b) People who bought probably found they had no brakes a little way down the road. How the hell can you cool brakes that are basically in a box.

I don't really see that they'd be any worse than old fashioned steel wheels with hub caps. They have pretty much no ventilation through the front. Major Fallout said:
Our roads are shattering alloy wheels at the moment.
I don't think they would last.
Also how would they cope with a red hot disc?
Not sure about the red hot disc, but a few years back, a guy from scotland had a custom motorcycle built, that had solid perspex wheels, and he rode the bugger everywhere, including from scotland to faro in portugal and back, without a hiccup. Okay i realise motorbike wheels are slightly different to car wheels, but in theory they should be okay if made from thick enough perspex. Would look a bit naff once the brake dust got on them thoughI don't think they would last.
