I wonder how long it would take to get it to everyday cars? Concept looks cool, but I wonder how easy would it be to clean? It must get a lot of dirt trapped in the springs/spokes. One thing is for sure... "Twheel" sounds lame.

I would suppose they would develope some type of sidewall covers, it would only make sense to keep dirt out...one mud hole or a few rocks and you are WAY off balance. Water/snow/ice would also get inside them, and be kept there due to centrifugal force. Good idea, needs refinement. I also wonder how it would be in low-profile applications?
