Christians warn us about the anti-christ for 2,000 years, and when he shows up, they buy a bible from him.

The one big downside I see with these are that the rubber is bonded to the wheel. Every time you replace them, you have to replace the wheel too. However, for service vehicles and fleets, this would be a great idea.

I hope those are just prototypes. With the open walls shit can get in and cause imbalance. I hope production has a sidewall of some kind.
