Funky wheel
The sidewall-less tire thread made me think of this:

But it's damn cool. <IMG SRC="http://www.amenmotorcycles.com/reform/gallary/hublessfronta.jpg"> <IMG SRC="http://www.amenmotorcycles.com/reform/gallary/hublessbacka.jpg"> Amen makes some crazy shit. |

So how do they get to power to the wheels again?

Umm, not to reliable in appearance, but then again, it does make an impression.

I've always found that pretty interesting but I've never seen it implemented in an ultra high performance application. I imagine it could dramatically improve handling since the weight is pivoting so low on each wheel ...sort of like holding those long poles on a high wire to move your center of gravity below the wire, so you almost can't fall off.
