Wow, the picture on the moving Audi makes it look pretty neat. I wonder when these will be available for purchase. Looks lame sitting still, but with a good set of rims maybe it will look cool!

Mark my words..... They will put up some sort of side-wall..... Even if it doesn't hold air.....

One, the general public things it looks ugly that way and is scared of drastic change. Two, it needs the protection. Can you imagine rocks, dirt, snow, or your neighbors cat trapped in those tires? It would not be very pleasant. I think there will be sidewalls on both sides of the tire to prevent this but there will be holes to let air in and out as needed.

Exactly, the show, the danger (things could get in there or be shot out of there) and of course could you imagin your neighbor cutting a couple of those things? It's got to have some form of protection...
