The first person to utilize this design in the real world, that I know of, was Billy Lane. He took the bearing from a military helicopter to make his rear wheel on his chopper. I think I've heard told that it costs between $10k and $25k just for the bearing.
EDIT: Look up the cars from the moive Tron Legacy... I've always wondered if a hubless wheel could be adapted for extreme aero capabilites.
