USD2000 each

Mark · 11-06-2006, 07:02 AM

nice idea but would be impossible to keep those clean

ZuerstBMW · 11-06-2006, 07:03 AM

And I bet they would yellow, especially down here in Florida.

yamazaho · 11-06-2006, 09:13 AM

Man this is sure something new to me..... Wow and it's $2000 per!!!

I guess next year we can expect to have those "clear" wheels running 30-inches :rocks:

canucklion · 11-06-2006, 12:25 PM

wheels without spokes, what's next? cars without engines?

Ghunger · 11-06-2006, 12:37 PM

How would the brakes get cooled with those? Seems like a bad idea but I'm sure they'll be popular for a while, until the next best thing comes along.

Yvette · 11-06-2006, 12:38 PM

if you have aftermarket brake kit, caliper, big rotor...
then this is kinda interesting...
but $2000 for each..... nah

longtran · 11-06-2006, 12:39 PM

wow, i saw those. i thought they were just show casing the brembo brakes. ahahah...

obLu · 11-06-2006, 12:49 PM

Can you imagine trying to keep those swirl free?

BK · 11-06-2006, 01:28 PM

Two words: brake dust.

Was thinking the same thing. Have fun cleaning those when you start getting a lot of brake dust. Looks amazing though....but I wouldn't want to clean those every week.

Jaws · 11-06-2006, 04:12 PM

I wonder how long it will take for them to crack at -40.
