This is a novelty convex hubcap, of interest to car show enthusiasts and anybody who wants to dazzle their friends and neighbors. They are made of impact proof glass [link] with standard plasma globe guts [link].

Most spectacular effects show at night, beginning at dusk; also works well in a showroom.

These might be better - they're flat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crackle_tube

       Cool. [almost on-topic link]

       Good point about flat vs convex, [sm]. (I'm showing my age talking about "baby moons.") There's also no reason that they couldn't be a five part assembly that mimics mag wheel spokes; seems to me the flat version you reference could easily make that happen... even to the extent that the "mags" would appear slightly concave.
