Some people are calling these “the new rage”…well I call them “the new stupidity”. Why oh why would anyone make such a useless thing and why would anyone buy these, and for price tags starting at 5k and above per wheel! I do understand that for some people the car they drive is somewhat of an issue below the belt, but this is just overdoing it.

Without the air needed by conventional tires, Tweel still delivers pneumatic-like performance in weight-carrying capacity, ride comfort, and the ability to "envelope" road hazards.
