These are old, well old 2006-2007! When i was on a car forum a large amount of the member said they'd never use them if they come onto the market.

Yeah I saw this a while ago. They look horrible tbh. Good idea but I'm not sure whether it would be that popular - unless they changed the design!

Exactly! I'm sure when technology advances a little they'll be able to make a solid lightweight rubber tyre which doesn't look like a plastic toy which has been hacked apart!

They probably aren't 'see-through' tyres... more likely just demo wheels to show the inner workings of the tyre and 'spokes'.
I think it's a good idea though... but what happens if something goes wrong with them, like a spoke breaks or something?...

I looked into these wheels. They are called TWEELS. I think it is an awesome idea but bad at the same time. Not having to worry bout a flat would be great but just think about winter! That rubber doesnt look very thick so the tread probably wont be good for winter and maybe rain. Also what about living up north and having to deal with constant fluctuations in temperature? The center i believe is alloy and the outter in plastic. I bet over a ouple years that plastic would have a great deal of stress where it would start to crack. So if it cracks you would have to replace the whole wheel compared to just the tire. I would rather have to worry bout replacing a tire compared to raplacing the tire and the wheel. Double your money right there. All in all a really cool idea but a very bad one at the same time.
