see-through wheels are 2,000 dollars?

Might as well buy them as your getting a good deal there.

How do you keep the breaks cool?

How would you clean the perspex? I assume you would take the wheels off daily?

Even if they are 37.5mm think (1 1/2") and you go over a pot hole, they will probably crack. Regularly there are people with buckled wheels this time of year.
