Looks really wierd on the pic that shows the whole car. I don't know if I like it or not. Cool concept though. Do you remember the hubless wheels some inventor came out with a couple of years ago? I remember a story about them and it showed some exotic car and a sport bike with them on. They really looked like the ****.

Yeah it definitly looks a little odd. But no one wants to be the first with a new idea but even more so they dont want to be second

+1 i saw that quite some time ago as well, I'd also wonder if they would take off - seems like they wouldn't be too safe for a bike though since they are flat...
