I'd love to see what a slow motion video of someone putting a couple of
hundred or more horsepower through those 'tweels' off the line - and what
happens when you try to emergency stop a 1500kg car at the limit of
adhesion....
My only real concern is that adding a few pounds of air to your tyres to
maximise adhesion is cheap - imagine having to fit a 'stronger' spoked
tweel.....
:(
I suppose what yoiu lose in 'cheap adjustment' you gain in brake airflow....
