I really need to investigate on building materials. The past 24 hours have been quite the experiment with 'Great Stuff' foam. Not the greatest of stuff, if I'm honest.

Vekke has used polycarbonate transparent hubcaps on his VW for a while
They're green translucent though, his Tuneko commercial site has a good pic of clear ones and their effect on the look of the wheel.

These look sweet, but it's Finland. I would love to grow up there and become a racer driver, but that's past my time. I did contact them, but have low expectations. Your first idea sounded cool, but even if it would work out, I do not have those kind of skills. As I mentioned up above, I am struggling a bit with Great Stuff.
