no thanks. I can't keep the front of my wheels clean, much less the front and back.

I thought these rims were cool at first now I don't thinks so. I would rather some carbon fiber wheels instead.

The only purpose I think the clear wheels would serve would be for shows and such... people that have nice custom rides that all they do is trailer them from trade show to trade show. I can't imagine it would be much fun to clean road grime and brake dust off of something that scratches easily.

Are not solid wheels a pain in the butt during crosswinds? I recall reading where some guys with solid discs could not ride during windy days because it would push them across hiway.

Not to mention strength!...

I would imagine you are right, they would have to be pretty thick (AND HEAVY) to be strong enough to support the wheel twisting during a hard lean at high speed...

Kwel for shows or slo' cruisin' downtown so dah sis' and dah babes can sheck it out!
