Tweels baby! Tweels!

Very interesting! A transportational revolution maybe? It's almost like reinventing the wheel, but not quite. The wheel is still there, but the wheel itself is completely redesigned. Well I'll let you decide whether you like the idea or not or if you think it will be a huge hit or a giant rubber coated turd.

those are cool. I saw them in popular science about 4 months ago:p

They aare pretty sweet, although I think if they continue with the technology it could be amazing, especially for offroad appilcations where people regularly destroy conventional tires.

They look as if they wouldnt be able to stand much punishment! Even though im sure they could!

They look awesome in this picture (might get some for my Vauxhall ;)):

Edit: I imagine they would have sidewalls when released. If a stone got caught in there it could be lethal if it was shot out! Like a 70mph slingshot!!
