Not that a Rolls-Royce Ghost or Phantom are not soft enough but their wheels could be like those of Formula 1 racing cars... The explanation is the following:
a) The "molly" wheels of Formula 1 racing cars are both lighter and stronger than common light metal alloy wheel-rims with thinner and thinner tyres... In the shell structure of Formula 1 tyres there are much more air and less metal than in everyday wheels that is why they are lighter and stronger...
b) The above benefit of Formula 1 wheels is very important because you don't have to move the entire car with the engine - only the wheels... And then the lighter and stronger wheels are of advantage...
c) It is the whole sense of wheels that they lift a car from the ground that makes it much easier to move the vehicle as if you had to pull or push it... The car hovers and so you only have to move the wheels...
Rolls-Royce motor cars are famous for their huge wheels so optional extra light and strong wheels could reduce the power you need to move the vehicles and so the fuel consumption as well in a significant way... Or they could increase the top speed of the luxury cars... As there must be beauty and elegance as well the inner part of the huge tyres could be painted white in tradition of classical automobiles...
Formula 1 car racing is known as the space research of automobile industry - so why not use its results?
Best wishes, Joseph de la Mikula and Team
