Ceramic wheel bearings. Anyone tried these?

They were suggested to me on a Previa / Estima site in the UK. I'm researching them to see if they can be had for street vehicles.

Apparently they were used by NASA in the space shuttle's engines. Now they are used in F1. Can be run dry. Sounds interesting.
