Clear Rims ?!!?!!?

Just though this was a sick *** Idea. Not sure if I would rock them on anything but just has lots of cool factor to me. There 2 inch polycarbonate discs with aluminum hub and hoop. hard plated to resist scratching.. they are SAE aproved for durability so they are street legal. to find them look up" D’Vinci Forgiato Radurra Clear " Heres a few pics and a vid I found. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMnbNSx6XrU

It looks cool and all, but I think the only way I'd use them was on like a show bike or something that I didn't ride all the time and never stunt with them, I don't think they'd hold up.

Apparantly they're just as safe as regular rims. They passed some German safety test or something.

Re: Clear Rims ?!!?!!?

Would be sick on my car

that way you could see my shitty rusted out suspension and busted ball joints and bushings



edit: damn now that I think about it, them would be a BITCH to keep clean..

Would'nt be bad cleaning the outside, just hit with some windex.. but think about all the brake dust and **** on the inside, would have to take your wheels off twice a week to clean the inside lol

Re: Clear Rims ?!!?!!?

yeah on the website they talk about If you can afford 18,000 for a set of rims having a detailer come to your house and pull them off and clean them for you wont be a problem.. kinda makes sense. But I mostly like them on the bikes. Honestly would be easier cleaning that than the stock F4i front rim. But yeah I would never put them on a stunt bike.
