When you are buying a 100-200k car, spending 10k on wheels isn't a big deal.

Not for those specific wheels. But if I had the money, and like dikspiel said, if I owned a $100k-$200k car I might.

Also, rofl at comment #3.

4. GREAT RIM LOOKS FANTASTIC
CAN IT BE MADE OR DOES ANYBODY MAKE MAGNETIZED RIMS OR RIM MADE WITH MAGNET PARTS. MAKING FOR LESS VIBRATION WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP.

THIS IS THE RIM I AM DESIGNING CALLED A WIRELESS RIM AIR PUMP. FOR GAINING AIR PRESSURE. NO WIRES USED
Is it possible to air up your tires on the highway and going 55 miles an hour. You could not use wires to give electricity to the wheel or rim. You must have a electric air pump on the rim for increasing air pressure, and it would have to be a small pump. The tricky part is electricity to the pump. This is solved with the rim having electronic solar cells around the rim. This would gather laser light energy from a laser beam shined on these solar cells while the car is going fast. Using these solar cells to get energy from laser rays and the rims air pump could then with no wires no sun light only laser light could be used. And this would solve the problem of having no wires attached to the rim. Because wires would just tangle together and mess up t

Having personally handled and inspected a set of dymag's... if I had the coin, I'd
own the wheels. I have never seen anything quite like them. The cf is particularly
unique in its thickness and finish. My concern would be installing tires and chipping
their finish.
