Default Tweels from the NAIAS

Have you guys seen this? It was posted in a local forum, I hadn't seen it before. Pretty wild.

Yeah I had seen that on another forum recently too, thats pretty crazy. I wonder how long it'll take to get into real production or its long term durabilty. And if it was in the article, oh well I didnt get to it all

Interesting, but they certainly won't be popular for their looks!

My impression is the would cover the outside to look just like a tire and these are cut aways to show how its built. I could def be wrong...but I get the impression they will look like regular air tires. But I'm just pulling this out of the air, its prolly in the article I should read.
