I know this is a concept so this is probably OK... But did anyone else notice the wheels are BOLTED/SCREWED into the ROTOR on the edges, and that there are no lug nuts?

Again, it's only a concept, but this bugs me because it means they are "cutting corners" or basically doing sneaky things like this which will of course never make it into production, but they do them anyway just to make the concept LOOK better without worrying about the lug nuts appearance.

I think a concept car should be disigned with production in mind. Otherwise you aren't on a fair playing ground and you get people excited for spiffy looking wheels that aren't going to look the same >:/

Okay, I may have taken things too far out of context, but I'm just saying... Seriously?
