Foose Clear wheel

[HDWRENCH]

I have a customer that is looking into the clear wheel made by foose. Any one have some info on them , long term issues?? Other than what I can gather from there site and a phone call not much out there as far as feed back.

Don't know about Foose but Metalsportwheels is the home of the developer of the clear wheel. Foose is the designer of several of there wheels. Hope this helps

What are they made out of?

I would think they'd get scratched up very easily.

They both work together on the wheels from what they told me as for what they are made of they would not give much about that ?? TOP secret stuff LOL I think that they may start to get spider web cracks over time?? I have tried to find anyone that may have them and fond out how they are holding up they are a pricey wheel and i do not want the customer to end up with a issue in a year of normal riding.

steve, they sure look good with a sprotor!!

i saw a kamazooki custom with the wheel on back, he had 2 stage nitrous and turbo. was beating on it too. dumped clutch, boiled tire, hit second, boiled tire, hit third and tire just squeeled across the CONCRETE bridge. as you know, concrete hooks prety darn good!

so, if that didnt break it----------------

BTW, i was lookin at that bike while we were drinking beer. dude told me it would run 8.90 's at the track with a 1.4 60 foot. maybe so with the sticky juice, but i could have beat him cross the bridge, he wrecked the back tire from smoke!!

colonel sanders knows the bridge, a place caled the outpost. only been there once and saw that SICK bike!!

the only thing they COULD be made of would be a thick maybe 1" polycarbonate (lexan) with a polymer anti-scratch layer on top. You can shoot that stuff with a pretty good size gun and it wont break. I would think those wheels are great for a show bike but not a daily rider.

wouldnt you hate to clean it? i would spray it black.although the one i saw was very clear. may have been new---------but i tell ya this, a spoked wheek wouldnt have handled what he threw at it.

The guy that design them took 3 years to get it right . Must have been a rough learning curve.
