    Those 5 axis wheels are sweet, basically 5 spoke work equips.

    Most concept wheels wouldn't work in reality though, I don't think this thread is going to take off.

    BICKETY BAM. These do exist... sort of.

    Impul Hoshino very very rare 5x114 PCD version! Here's a pic from our own Chapel's gallery:



    These aren't as deep, though, and they have bolts around the rim.

    But this was clearly the inspiration for 5A's wheel.

    Birth?

    The fender/wheel/tire setup on this car is imitating what people were doing to cars in Japan 30 years ago.

    If you have about $5-10 grand you can have just about any design of wheel you want to your specs machined.

    These look somewhat like VW CC wheels...




    I'm sure I'll find more, but these will do for now!
