It's a teaser, so all the parts aren't necessarily shown.

I doubt it's just a lightening hole; if it was just there to save weight then it would have been triangulated like all the rest. However, the large round hole coupled with the large amount of aluminum left around the hole looks like it's there to support something.

It's just nitrile roughtop tread (which is only available in the color blue) from McMaster-Carr. It's on page 1219 if you're interested.

Looks like Pink is making the move from pneumatic wheels to something a little more... turnable.

Pink + Poof/Rawc, this will be epic. Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the Poofs/Rawc always used wedgetop tread, not nitrile roughtop?

We used roughtop last year.

I think he was talking about the rim and not the tread.
