    As long as you don't drive the car - can you imagine cleaning the damn things? Besides, how long do you think they'd last on the real world roads?

    I want the ones with two pieces of polycarbonate per wheel with a space in between so I can make them into fish tanks on the go. I can have freshwater fish in the front and saltwater fish in the back. Maybe mount the wheels on a truck and have another big polycarbonate fish tank in the bed of the truck so I can haul Sea Bass! I would rock... oh, I would but big roundels in the middle of the wheels just to be a poser.
