 Since I am pretty sure transparent aluminum has not made it past the Star Trek fantasy stage, and assuming this is some polymeric plastic (ie. not glass, eeek), I don't think I would want to hit a speed bump very hard or go around a corner with some velocity with those.

I'll guess polycarbonate, same stuff that is used for bulletproof glass and motorcycle face shields. Plenty strong enough to make rims out of. Strength-to-weight is not as good, so it will be heavier, but it has plenty of impact resistance.
