MG MGF Technical - Crazy Wheels (NFC)

Going home last night I saw a B*W with chrome two layer wheels. Although the car was stationary the outer layer of the wheels kept on spinning to give the illusion that the car was still moving. WHAT A DANGEROUS AND STUPID IDEA!!!

The road was wet and it was dark, I was half way round a roundabout and I had the illusion that I was about to be 'T' boned, the result was that I braked sharply in the middle of a busy roundabout (not a safe manoeuvre!)

Are these official B*W accessories or are they an after market job? I reckon they should be banned becasue they are down right dangerous.

Rant over, time to do some work....

I have seen these too - here is a link to a seller for those who have not seen them.

Definitely not approved - I bet it hasn't got TUV approval!!! Looks like a US product that's been imported.

Big question though: WHY???

Cos if a B*W driver can act like a pratt, he will.

There's a set in FastCar at about £1300 to add to your existing alloy wheels.
