Studies have shown that wheelchair users are exposed to levels of vibration that are considered unsafe and that this can affect health and life quality.

The Loopwheel system uses springs instead of spokes, giving the wheel built in suspension.

I don’t see how they could maintain torsional stiffness under braking… And that falls into the “bad” category. Mindless on April 15th, 2013 - 12:58am Gillis on April 15th, 2013 - 1:41am
The Global Air Cylinder Wheels team has also sent us a bunch of video detailing the advantages of a much smaller scale ASW for wheelchairs. Because of the built-in suspension effect, you'd likely experience more ride comfort, as well as a vastly superior ability to negotiate uneven ground without any of the wheels lifting off and losing stability.
It is curious as to why they put the valve stem in the middle of a loop and not between. Ham-planet on April 15th, 2013 - 3:06am
Kerbs are less of an obstacle with loopwheels. Loopwheels reduce jolting, soften the impact of landing, and so can help manage pain. Over 95% of the customers rate Loopwheels as high or very high quality Over 85% of the users felt positive about Loopwheels after using them for 2 weeks Over 80% of our customers said they’d chosen Loopwheels to reduce the amount of vibration they experienced in their wheelchair
I doubt I will find the exact pictures/config I'm looking for. It's going to be hard, if not impossible, to find pics of a G37x coupe on stock suspension with 20x8.5 wheels with 245/35/20 tires all around. I've been looking for weeks on the entire internet.

i will have pics shortly, havn't put everything on permanantly yet, waiting a couple more weeks til spring. i have the wheels & suspension sitting in my house staring at me everyday, it's painful. but if you open this link, you will see 19x8 +40 lowered 1.5", just for reference. and honestly, i'm afraid to post pics on this site with the way people pick things apart, but i probably will anyway-give me a few weeks!! https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-photograph-gallery-99/some-quick-sneak-peek-pics-my-03-tl-s-759701/
Things turn even further in the favor of the ASW system if you factor in punctures, blowouts, tire fires and how long a truck has to be out of service each year while those monster tires get changed. ASW treads are bolt-on, bolt-off chunks that can be changed with very little gear, without even jacking any wheels up, and done in sections during shift changes and lunch breaks so the truck's never out of service due to tires. They can also ship much more cheaply, since the whole assembly can be broken down into bits that easily fit in a regular shipping container.
