I wonder what they look like in motion... I usually hate wheels like this, but these aren't too bad... IMO... Can anyone tell who makes them?

I always wondered if it would be possible to do a ONE spoke wheel. It looks as ugly as I imagined. Congrats.

Looks like one of those wheel lock that police put on cars that have unpaid tickets.

CLS55 plus a few Ducati's
Obviously more of an engineering feat than a design feat.... someone got carried away with the concept rather than the style.
Still, the design lends itself to going further...... paint part of the spoke to match the perforated brake disc and paint the rest (outer) part of the spoke to look like the background... then it would look like no spokes at all....... would still be bloody ugly tho'
and apart from the obviously odd look, the lack of synchronization between the two spokes will always look bad....
