those in-wheel brakes may be interesting and exotic, but not very convenient. Imagine going to an autox, or track, and trying to quickly change a set of wheels. Normal wheels you can change in about 20 minutes (relaxed, no rushing), with those you would have to unmount the calipers every time. On top of that, each wheel would have to come with a pre-installed rotor (extra $ there).
The only upside is that you could have a race-spec rotor installed on your race wheels for track use, and a plain one on your daily-driving wheels.
