But surely that plastic (i asume it is) couldn't handle a 2 Tonne (passengers) Falcon and sideways thrust?

Love the idea, maybe if they could make the plastic strong enough to make it 5 spoke and then highlight the edges in metal/black.. This could be a revolution in the alloy wheel world..

There's some very nice cars there, especially that Boss 302. It's funny how there seems to be a bit of an over representation of Mustangs being done up when it comes to Fords. Kind of a one "horse" show. Similar to here with Falcons.
