Clear wheel
Clear wheel
Have you all seen pics of the new clear view wheel from Forgiato Wheels aka Davinci? There's and article in the latest Makes & Models mag. It's made from a thick, strong, clear plastic. The cost starts at 15K and apparently, there are 50 pre-orders for it. Here's my question:
How would someone clean the other side? The inside around the hub? The wheel is a solid sheet of plastic. There's no way to get around to the other side. Without cleaning, the surface will eventually deteriorate from brake dust and dirt. It won't be clear anymore.
I hope someone thought of that.

most likely there is a coating that protects it from the brake dust and getting as dirty...and i would think they have a cleaner/spray for further cleaner when wahsing the car
also what i was more concerned with was if a rock chips away at the plastic itself--how does the durability of this plastic actually stand up to that kind of abuse?
