The Official Hubless Wheel hater thread.

Why doesn’t anyone use these on a concept car?

Fabrication cost is fairly obvious. Not so much for a “concept” car, but if the overall feel of the design is based on the spoked wheel, the model offered to the public probably should have spoked wheels, n’est-ce pas?

My take on black spoked wheels is that the builder was either too pressed for time to disassemble them and have all the parts replated, or that he’s too cheap and simply rattle-canned them black; black hiding more sin than “chrome” or aluminum/silver.

Maybe a step further back is in order?

well, maybe not that far back…
