Has anyone seen these??

Pretty neat concept and will be a godsend to construction and agricultural users. No more down time due to flats.

Looks pretty radical on the car at speed......

Would sure give new meaning to looking for cracks in your tires with all those flexing elements to inspect.

If something got stuck in there, could it break the flexing ribs?

One thing you won't want is wheel trim rings or full wheel covers unless you buy them by the gross. They'll be popping off all over the place.

AirBoss of America has been marketing a similar product for off road construction equipment. They bolt hollow rubber segments to a steel rim. All you do is replace the segment that wears. Claim it reduces down time and saves money on tire replacements.
