The creator and patent holder of "the clear wheel" Doug McGoon and Forgiato have combined to turn this idea into a real drivable wheel, called "Radurra" which is Italian for clear. By eliminating the alloy centre of a three piece forged wheel and setting into its place a hard coated polycarbonate centre with a glass-like finish we achieve an amazing and stunning look, with a finished product that looks too good to be a wheel. The polycarbonate centre is set into the forged aluminium hoops with precision machining ... the end result is a wheel that is strong, safe and beautiful, to show off your high performance brakes and suspension on your high-end car. The Radurra is currently available in twenty and twenty-two inch, and are custom built on order for your car or motorcycle, with a vast range of colour and finish options. The centre is 1.5 or 2" polycarbonate, chemical hard coated both sides. Weight 20" - 27 lbs, and 22" - 38 lbs (complete wheel weight) All other parts of the wheel are forged 6061t aluminium (Inner and outer hoops SAE tested, certified and passed Impact, cornering and radial tests. Now in production, average delivery time is 6-8 weeks. Suggested retail is $5000.00 per wheel ![]() ![]() ![]()

Wow, looks really cool... would hate to try and keep em clean though... you would nearly need to install a water spraying system in behind them to keep the dust down...

Show car stuff- Woud look great on a stand, but they will scratch and mark like any plastic if you use them on a daily driver. Shows how strong polycarb is tho'. |
