Clear Shoes for Your Ride
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Nov 3, 2006| Don’t worry, Nice Kicks is not turning into an auto blog or anything like that, but I couldn’t resist posting this up. This past summer, Nike definately got major attention by making the clear Air Force Ones. Alot of fakers and biters have followed since making clear shoes.
SlamXHype reported, “100 percent transparent two-inch thick polycarbonate wheels for our rides, like the ones a few bloggers just spied at this year’s SEMA show, going on this week in Las Vegas. These amazingly sexy D’Vinci Forgiato Radurra wheels cost a cool $2,000, which will buy you a single 20-, 22-, or 24- inch wheel…†|

Actually they are $5,000 US per rim… FIVE THOUSAND not two… and they are not real glass, but a poly-carbonate with a slick finish,… They like look three inch thick bulletproof glass.
I would buy a set in a second.
And yeah they look SICK on crothc rockets. LRG carries em.

Since one of the ideas is to split strings not into words, but hopefully into phrases more semantically informative than the words they are made of, doing that better should mean better suggestions, and avoiding what essentially are word n-tuples should make for smaller data and slightly faster querying.

I got the same tramadol attack… well, not the same, because it was only about 20 comments instead of 90, and i t have any filtering set up, and I just deleted them one at a time… hmm.. the only thing really in common was that it was about tramadol… what filter do you have set up that caught them all?
Jan 25, 2007 at 9:26 pm

I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!

Nov 6, 2006 at 1:12 am
on another note…here is a website that has a video of the whole thing http://www.cartv.com/content/research/channels/index.cfm/channel/cartv_video/action/showvideo/vid/e_0300/vscat/SEMA/vcat/Event/pagenum/1
Nov 6, 2006 at 1:08 am
guys….READ before commenting…these are made of a [b]polycarbonate[/b] type of plastic, not glass, that is temperature resistant and impact resistant (no need to worry about sturdiness here, these are very strong plastics). Other than that, the only complaint here is that it might show dirt, but if you have money like that to be spending on these wheels, then you probably have enough money to wash your car all the time.
Nov 5, 2006 at 11:27 pm
own my cars just like i own my kix
Nov 5, 2006 at 10:35 pm
bet u they’d look fresh on a blk porsche ceyenne with the red break piston calipers.
lol
yea i kno my cars….. just like i kno my kicks!!!!
Nov 5, 2006 at 7:14 pm
Not even worth it.
Nov 5, 2006 at 6:58 pm
I would say that these are probably only for the show scene. I would use one clear rim if i wanted to show off the under fender of my car. ie, under fender details, coil over suspension, brake caliper and rotor etc etc… It would look better than just taking the wheel off and leaving it hoisted up on a jack.
Nov 5, 2006 at 5:50 pm
this is a pretty dumb idea, brake dust is goin to get it dirty, freeway debris could damage them too, then sum asshole could get mad at u and take a hammer and break yo rims.(that would be messed up)
Nov 5, 2006 at 12:50 pm
they is hot, rock dem on a towncar, baby blue, while rockin some invisible girls, that’s color coordinating, i’d cop but im a broke ass, those make your ride float..
Nov 5, 2006 at 12:48 pm
$2,000 FOR EACH RIM?…………………
Nov 5, 2006 at 9:11 am
crazy idea they gon b get scraped up by thangs n da road
Nov 5, 2006 at 9:08 am
Crazy idea they gon b gettin scraped up by thangs on da streets
Nov 4, 2006 at 7:36 pm
I don’t know what 2 say, the friction and heat will make these rims not last long @ all. Total waste of money.

Nov 4, 2006 at 3:54 am
I just hope if people get these they have the right mind to upgrade their ugly ass stock brakes and get some nice slotted rotors and nice calipers like Brembo, Willwood etc. I saw these for motorcycles also by the way.
Nov 4, 2006 at 12:13 am

Nov 3, 2006 at 3:22 pm
wow i wonder if these can withstand any bumps on the road. im guessing they can because they are being sold. im just wondering how much of a beating these can take.
Nov 3, 2006 at 3:21 pm

Nov 3, 2006 at 2:49 pm
