damm thats some cool shit there, i think it would be better if they made a design with them but then i think the support would go to hell unless it was reinforced with some sort of metal...

Can't wait to see them on a vehicle with stock brakes.

Come on, you know someone is destined to do it.

(cop)"Son, do you know why I pulled you over?"

(Kid)"No officer, I dont. I have my seatbelt on, my music is low, my windows are clear, I wasnt doing anything improper, and all my lights are functioning."

(cop)"Well boy, you had some RED Neons glowing through your wheels. Thats against the law. Red must be facing the rear of your vehicle, or to the side, ONLY at the very back of it."

(kid)"Officer, I have CLEAR wheels, the disc brakes GLOW under very high temperatures, I was slamming the brakes from 125 when you saw, so, there was no red neon. And being you didnt clock me, See ya later!!"

With the shape I've seen some people keep the insides of their cars, I'd much rather have that shit kept behind sheet metal.

Not to mention some of the drivers would be **** unpleasant to look at.

You see clear hoods on vehicles at some shows already, so thats not out of the question

 

[millerscents 10+ year member]

what next clear doors

 

[linvillegorge 10+ year member]

Completely impractical except for show cars. A car that's actually driven would coat those suckers in brake dust constantly, you couldn't clean them enough. I wonder if they're even DOT approved?

logical reasoning > you.

its OBVIOUS these are not for street use. I would even put money that, the company displaying these are a brake company.
