I guess I should say Wheels for War, as this Centerline run-flat wheel is intended for military and "private armored vehicle" use. The 17-inch rim is designed to hold a standard 37-inch off-road tire, and the red support ring allows one to get the heck away from the shooting, even if said tire has been swiss-cheesed by unfriendly fire. Once a safe distance away, the rim can be split in half with hand tools "in the field" allowing a new tire to be installed by the troops. The little mircometer at the bottom right of the photo is part of the "Best Engineered" trophy that SEMA awarded to this product.

The funny thing is the look actually reminded me of Centerline's clutches.
