Looks cool and would be a bitch to keep clean. David do you have any idea about what they are made of and their strength?

Pete,
I believe Polycarbon. Must be hellishly expensive - and what would the insurance company say - here when you make a proposal for a policy you declare that the car /motorcycle has or has not been modified. Plastic wheels might be one step beyond. Pete, they wouldn't look all that good on your -40 !!

Very bling. Quite a bold statement though and I guess it won't be long before we see them on the 1.2 Vauxhall Corsas - you know the type with the body styling kit, exhaust megaphone, 3 zillion watt sound system, carbon effect dashboard, neon blue underlights, Trev and Sharon windscreen sticker, Corbeau neon green leather seats, blacked out windows and out of date tax disc !!
Might look OK on Di's Ferrari though ....................................

Clear body work to show off the Neon lights, Smaco hoses, and presure washed engine bay....
They are called Radurra wheels -
Radurra is Italian for Clear
The creator and patent holder of “the clear wheel” Doug McGoon and Forgiato have combined to turn this idea into a real drivable wheel.
In 2006 we proudly produced and introduced “The Clear Wheel” called Radurra for cars and motorcycles.
Again we return to our roots of jewelry manufacturing. A technique known as bezel setting which only master diamond setters can know, is where the diamonds are just slightly larger than the bezel they are set into, and held in place by pressure. Understanding this, we put the same care and consideration towards the Radurra as we would towards a fine watch. By eliminating the alloy center of a three piece forged wheel and setting into its place a hard coated polycarbonate center with a glass-like finish we achieve an amazing and stunning look, with a finished product that looks too good to be a wheel. Much the same way the diamond is set into a bezel setting, the polycarbonate center is set into the forged aluminum hoops with precision machining and a jeweler’s touch… the end result is a wheel that is strong, safe and beautiful. Now show off your high performance brakes and suspension on your high-end car or motorcycle. The same way you would add diamonds to your platinum watch, add the Radurra to your “platinum” car or custom chopper. With a vast range of color and finish options, your Radurra is sure to be as individual as yourself or your clientele.
The Radurra is currently available in twenty and twenty-two inch, and are custom built on order for your car or motorcycle.
The same way all Forgiato Wheels are custom built by master craftsmen.
(More sizes available soon)
Technical Data
The center is 1.5 or 2” polycarbonate, chemical hard coated both sides.
Weight 20” - 27 lbs, and 22” - 38 lbs (complete wheel weight)
All other parts of the wheel are forged 6061t aluminum
(Inner and outer hoops and Hub center)
SAE tested, certified and passed Impact, cornering and radial tests.
Now in production, average delivery time is 6-8 weeks.
Suggested retail is $5000.00 per wheel

Kaydee,
Thank you for that.

OK,
I want everyone to vote on if any Cobra or GT40 is owned by a girl, it has to have Radurra doors, with a disabled AC unit (for GT40 only), and a certificate of demand that the owner only wear tank tops.
Well?????

And I thought this had solved the problem of cooling the brakes by fitting them on the outside! Then you could incorporate a small Dyson for the dust??
