Props for something different. Agreed they look a bit fucked, but you would look twice if you saw them on a car cruising along.

haha. i recon you'd be trying to get away from the car as soon as possible if you saw them. it would look like the wheels were about to fall off.

There ok, not ugly becuase it's not much rim for it to be ugly. If they were on a better car I think it could pull it off.

Sorry man, your opinion is null and void.

Look at your car. Now back to mine. Now back to yours. Now back to mine. Sadly, yours isn't mine. But if you stopped buying dodgy cars and bought an ED, yours could be like mine. Look down. Back up. Where are you? ...You're on BoostedFalcon, reading the signature your signature could be like! Anything is possible when your car looks like my car... I'm on a computer.

I'll leave my comments shy on those rims, as I've never been open minded to wheels hence I run stockies.

Haha theres a second and place near by that has those for sale, although there not a wheel a car person would have so more just a novelty, e.g. collectors, so sort of understandable if you were running them, although I can't see a big enough market to have considered producing them.

Those clear wheels are surely a show car thing? I can't see them withstanding actual driving whatever they are made of.

The Ronal wheel just needs minor mods to fulfill its potential. :mrgreen:

I've done a bit of reading, and the cost of the Radurra clear rims is supposed to be a few grand each, or as much as A$26k per set according to Web Wombat. For $1m I hope it includes a few free S Class Mercs thrown in. Very interesting technology though, if ridiculously impractical.

If everything lights up you're done. If it's on fire you probably should have taken it to an auto electrician.
