Default WTF? Invisible rims?

Wow, never seen that before. Looks real. If you notice in the first pic, there's a reflection of the Scion wheel. I think its some kind of plastic wheel. Notice all the "rivetting" too? Looks like some new stuff there. Good post!

Im not exactly sure but heres an idea. The clear parts probably made of lexan plastic. They say its pretty strong against heat (handle up to 214 deg. F) and cold (-40 deg. F), and even bulletproof. But again this might not be exaclty true becasue I know that a brakes can deff. exceed 214 deg.

Just a thought.
