Your car floats on air with transparent wheels

Prepare to see these clear polycarbonate wheels appearing on your favourite car-modding show: apparently the next step beyond ridiculously large alloy wheels is to do away with the wheel altogether.  Made of Lexan or some other polycarbonate variant, they give you the opportunity to show off those lovely brake disks you’re so very proud of.

Somewhere here there’s an “Emperor’s New Clothes” joke trying to be made, but I can’t quite fathom it. Still, the price is no joke: at $2,000 a wheel the contents of your wallet better not be transparent!
