    It's sort of like the NIKE "22 in GT4.

    hmm, i don't really like them. Maybe on the right car, but I don't know what that would be :P

    I don't think you want insulating wheels though, they'd keep your breaks hotter, wouldn't they?

    Looking at this pic, I thought it would be kind of nice to showcase such a gorgeous rotor/caliper package, ricey and cheeky as that is in itself, I thougt a wheel that has spokes set at the rear behind the brake assembly would have the same visual impact. Only you'd have to remove the rotor to change the tire. Another brialliant idea dead before conception.

    Imagine though if changing the wheels are made easy somehow, what a completely useless and ricey innovation in wheel technology that would be.
