I've never washed my ti bicycle. The whole thing probably cost less than one linear inch of that wheel.

Who'd want to clean that!! No thanks.

filet.M2c · 11-15-2018, 08:23 PM

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this, but how hard do you think these will be to clean?

Costello1991 · 11-15-2018, 08:35 PM

I love the effort but it's still ugly.. we don't have transformer cars yet.

evo-mike · 11-15-2018, 09:58 PM

They don't plan to sell them because it's not cost effective. Couple days per wheel to make plus startup costs. Do I buy the new m3 when it comes out or a set of wheels for my 4 series for roughly the same cost? Not a tough decision...

On a serious note, I wonder if a less ambitious, simpler design might be feasible in the near future?

Sure we do: Huracan, Aventador, ZR1. These wheels would look good on day and Aventador SVJ. Cars that are more straight lines, creases, etc.

These wheels are a work of art! Mount on a car with CCBs and brake dust won't be an issue.

I'm guessing cars that will have these types of wheels will come standard with CCBs

Cars & Coffee in Rancho Santa Fe is featuring McLaren this Saturday. Might be a good place to show off those 3D wheels!

Crazy looking wheels perfect for exotics.

Great concept work, congrats on being there first.

Excellent results.

It would be cool to see these on an i8.

BPMSport · 11-16-2018, 03:37 AM

That is awesome, reminds me of a complicated yet functional watch

Danyutz · 11-16-2018, 03:53 AM

Ground breaking technology, someone had to do it and you guys threw the glove. Still, years ahead of mass production, since it's an effin expensive process.

Companies that cut wheels in this industry, can sit relieved for a good period of time.

How much time was needed to print the center parts?

JustChris · 11-16-2018, 06:13 AM

Absolutely awesome!

Look like they weigh minus 5kg

So it has a greyish hue as well?
