Try this link:

Solid Spoke Wheel

It's just one solid spoke (2 inch clear polycarbonate center piece).

lol... that's a pretty cool trick, but brake dust would fog the inside so quickly. From the looks of it, you'd have to remove the wheel to clean the back.

Sorry but My mind just doesn't trust a piece of plastic for a connection between the hub and the road.
Besides the fact that they are rediculous looking. We'll be seeing these on these lifted bling cars that are srill running stock breaks..drums and all

Since there's no place for heat and brake dust to escape, I think these things could be killed pretty fast even during normal use. More headaches than benefits unless you MUST show off your brakes. IMO, simply useless junk best left in the trash heap.
