    F1 cars ran with fixed outer covers for a while. You get used to it. Those ones above look mad but would go down well with a certain type of driver.
    Not for me.

    How do these work? I assume they are some ilk of those spinner wheels the rappers used years ago? Some sort or weighted bearing system or something:confused:

    The way a lot of people drive here, they're not going to last long, the number of scuffed alloys out there, something like this will be destroyed.

    Shore, if it was easy, everybody would be doin it.😁

    I saw of few of these in the USA as few years back. Often they spin a little, those ones in the vid are dead steady somehow.

    RR had subtle ones on their cars to keep the emblem oriented correctly.
    That was fine. This takes it beyond into the ridiculous.

    Not helped by lurid paint scheme and stupidly oversized wheels.

    Most of the grid ran them and while i never said i liked them, they became invisible after a few races. Brawn chose to paint them yellowish which was never going to be a good look for wheels. Better without for sure.
