I wonder what would happen to the wheels after the brakes get really, really hot.

Ugh, look at the specs (heavy) and a mere 20K for a set.

Technical Data
The center is 1.5 or 2” polycarbonate, chemical hard coated both sides.

Weight 20” - 27 lbs, and 22” - 38 lbs (complete wheel weight)

All other parts of the wheel are forged 6061t aluminum
(Inner and outer hoops and Hub center)

SAE tested, certified and passed Impact, cornering and radial tests.

Now in production, average delivery time is 6-8 weeks.

Suggested retail is $5000.00 per wheel

Exactly what I was thinking. Might be kinda cool for a weekend drive to a night club but thats about it.
