How is the hot air suppose to escape? And if you get a little crack on the wheel, the entire item has to be replaced because the stress will concentrate at the crack location and the crack will grow. What ever material it is, it better be tough to absorb all the impacts transmitted through the road and potholes. If someone hit a pothole at great speed, the worst thing is the rim will deform, but if you hit a pothole with these wheels, the chances are the wheel will shatter and you will loose control and crash. |

Stupid for me, for two reasons. Dust from the brakes How is air going to reach the brakes/ cooling? Plus the fact that they scream like bling bling... |
