Brake dust would own you.

Great wheels for a show-only car, though.

In the video said that It had something that repels most of it & to clean it just air hose it every 3 weeks. They only have size 20 & up. Just posting something new out there. It's a nice idea

Those wheels are hot. I never would have thought of that design, it'd be nice to look at, but imagine the scratches and scuffs you would get from normal driving, not to mention the haters of the world who can't let you have anything nice. If it was more protected somehow it would be more practical. It looks like they are flush with the wheel, should be in towards the brakes a couple inches at least.

I would NOT trust a polycarbonate wheel. It cracks more easily than people give it credit for.
