          They're photoshopped. I did some reading on them.

            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.”

            http://arstechnica.com/journals/scie...005/10/19/1567

            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 !!!

              even if they aren't real they will be soon. Theres three pictures of it that i've found. Either somebody has ALOT of time on their hands or its real.

                I remember a while ago I wanted to make glass rims so bad. And yes, even tinted ones.

                  Kinda but I gotta mention this. I always thought it would be cool to have a clear timing valve cover. Just always seemed like a cool idea to me.

                      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.
