A wheel-polisher's paradise?

In this week’s edition of our not-even-remotely-regular look at the weird and wonderful in the motoring world, we bring you a Nissan 350Z with a unique view. Of its brake discs, that is.

We’ve absolutely no idea what these transparent wheels are made of or whether they are street legal. However, what we do know is that having to take wheels off their hubs to clean them would be be more than most grown men could take. They also do an excellent job making the 350Z’s standard brakes look like a ferret’s wedding tackle dangling in the a cold breeze. So, for the love of God, whoever owns this extraordinary vehicle, do then right thing: fit some bigger discs and callipers and give your 350Z its dignity back.
