low unsprung weight?
is it really that lighter? looking at the number of 'spokes' i dont know if it'll be lighter, maybe it could be lighter because of the smaller rim.. but if would have more tire spring rate then. the deflection of the wheel look pretty significant ...

but i still think it's the way to go for these tweels in racing...
imagine having no headaches over increased tire pressure

but IMHO.. it looks quite ugly... maybe i'm just too used to seeing current tires... heheh
