Transparent aluminum or ALONtm- a ceramic compound with a high compressive strength and durability. When polished, it is the premier transparent armor for use in armored vehicles.
“The major drawback to the ALONtm is economic: traditional transparent armor costs US$3 in^2 and ALONtm costs US$10-15 in^2.”

So for a 19” wheel, which those look to be
A= 3.14 * 9.5^2 = 283.4 in^2
cost = A * $10 = $2,833 PER WHEEL
not bad considering some chrome rims get up to 2k-3k
this is some serious star trek type ish. Read that it was on a star trek episode in 1986. I need to make a rap song called "Sittin' on glass" IMMEDIATELY !!!Last edited by MRX; 06-20-2006, 05:02 PM.Knowledge is power...in EVERY sense of the word

Thats what I was thinking.
Like I never understood clear hoods, or "windows' in a hood. It'll just get dirty and scratched up and stuff.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
