    Awsome crazy content as always guys.. Weld in some sheet metal all the way round the inside diameter so you can't see the bearings then fill the inside with grease 😅 lights underneath so it shines through at night and somthing black flicks in the orange paint so you can see it's not rotating with the tire...

    To be honest this would look dope AF on a trailer. A light one that you can use those torshin type axles. Using some sort of aluminum tire and bearings with grease and a nice fitted clamped thing with bolts on the outside. The brakes could be done inside using some type of drum.

    These hubless/spokeless prototype wheels would probably put them at a serious weight advantage compared to traditional ones since there's a lot less rotational mass involved but the execution can use a makeover. That said it was actually done very well by Garage 54.

    Add a ring gear to the inside rim, then have a CV with a pinion running the ring gear, that will give you drive. As for breaks, easy, just a rotor the size of the inner rim and set it up like oversized disc brakes.

    Inserting a cowling on the inside of the rim with noise suppression mats would probably help immensely on cutting out some of the grinding noises and giving it a cleaner look with better water resistance, the rollers are resonating inside the open void like a musical instrument.

    You could fill the inside with an oil bath and seal it with a press insert pipe that is the same diameter as the hole opening. That would quiet it down, lube the bearings and still give you the hollow look.

    how about a concentric bearing system, so the bearings rotate around as well, this way they aren't static and will wear better... also try a tapered bearing placing the larger diameter side positioned to carry the most weight ... you could even gear it as well so they have drive, use a couple rear end gears and fashion the gears in a concentric gear drive set up

  • @robodock23

    Maybe some kind of a nylon ring between the bearings and the wheel rim. It would be cool to do a band break of sorts. use the bearing axis as a back stop and a friction material that would push on the rolling surface of the rim.
