Anybody seen these things? They look weird. I bet it would weight a bit less so it could be good for performance, but I personal don't really like it.null I don't know if the pic will work but just look it up on Google.

I agree that it would way less but I don't think it would all that great in a more autox like application.

It would be great like it said for war zones due to the lack of needing air but I can see that thing getting ripped apart taking high speed corners and burnouts. I think it is more of a economic thing though. Don't have to check air pressure. I would be curious to ride in a car equipped with them. Wonder if it makes mounting them easier.
Makes the rim look small.

That article makes them sound pretty good. If it rides nice I would put it on my DD. Be getting some attention thats for sure. I imagine you would get question every where you go.

honestly, this has to be somewhere between 8-10 years old atleast. They have been talking about those for song long, I personaly cant see how this things would handle much torque

so** ack, sorry if I came off like a jerk, would love to see those on the street but its been a long time I dont think they are going to do it, kinda frustrating that new, interesting autotech never goes anyplace

I don't think it will actually make it but it would be cool.

They are cool in the no air sense of the discussion but I just can't see them performing well in a performance oriented environment. Launching or autocross = dead tweels.

Just be for grandpa's cadillac and it would probably make it.

The inner rubber ring looks like it is just stretched around the rim.
