The car is only so-so, but those wheels are unreal.

Cool wheels.... on that car.
Dippy brakes, though. Too small. :thumbsdown:

Hopefully, those wheel spokes can withstand strong torque. It's really cool if it's strong.
That brake looks so wimpy although it's front brake. I absolutely have no desire for this car at all.

As far as the size of the brakes... These wheels could easily be in the 22+" range - look at how far up that guy's leg the wheels come. The scale could be deceptive. Regardless, the wheels look cool.

Good point. And since the wheels are carbon fiber, they're lightweight (and the car is probably light) and wouldn't need such massive brakes in the first place.

Looks like they were going for like a hyper-futuristic look with those wheels looks good for that look.... But in my opinion I don't think they would look to good on an e60..

Those wheels look similar to wheel chair wheels, don't they?
J/KI actually like the wheel more if it's tough, strong, and light weight!

those wheels do look cool.. in my opinion i would want rims that arent so open in showing the brakes if you know what i mean.. but those wheels are cool and are nice to see.
