It's always been my understanding that hubless lowers rotating mass and increases aerodynamics on two wheeled vehicles.
The front wheel would likely benefit in cross-wind conditions.

The polycarbonate wheels would function equivalent to a solid, recessed disk. They'd work better with a Moon disk over them.

jeff88 -- the flush, flat spokes would be preferable to rounded and recessed, so I vote yes.
