I saw a picture about a year and a half ago of a 350Z with these wheels and figured they would start popping up all over the place. This is the first I've seen of them since then, though.

Anti bling. I think it is an interesting idea, but one that will become played out and boring very quickly!

Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

Info from another site:
"Forgiato Wheels showed off their Radurra wheels today. Instead of spokes, this three-piece wheel uses a two-inch thick solid piece of polycarbonate --hard coated to reduce scratching. Representatives say the Frogiato Radurra (Italian for Forged Clear) has been successfully SAE tested and will go on sale in 22 and 24-inch diameters immediately, with 26 and 28-inch examples to come a bit later. Prices start at $2,000 each."My website: http://members.cardomain.com/smittys69

Polycarbonate is not chemical resistant and can degrade quickly.
Those wheels will never last for years.
Still pretty cool looking.-Ed Nelson

Ugh. Ricer-city. Can’t wait to see them on civics with fluorescent painted calipers & drums.

not that i like those wheels but . poly carbonate can be bought with a coating that is scratch and chemical resistant. like what they use for race car windows. plus there thick enough to be bullet-proof in case someone wants to shoot your brakes out. (lol) Originally Posted by Hidro
