I heard about it a long time ago. I think in time magazine. I believe it handles like shit though die to the lack of sidewall. Forces like inertia probably wont work well with this wheel.

I doubt they will ever work well in handling without a sidewall unless they make them really heavy.

I'm fairly certain the actual tires have sidewalls, just this one doesn't for pictures to show how it works.
