Default See through wheels!!
Saw this wheel in Sturgis. Must be lexan or something, you can see through it.

Looks sweet.
I can imagine how the strength could be built into it but I wonder how you can keep the center from spinning in it.

Looks really fine, but would you feel comfortable really pushing it through a corner fully loaded? I doubt it.

There was a bike in a mag recently. Called something like 'hole through' or something. He had both wheels, rocker boxes, and the trans top cover made of lexan. It was neat, he said, being able to watch the oil flow through the bike. Not sure how durable it was, but still kind-of cool.
