Implied Motion Example 1This car rim design looks like a fan blade/saw blade/turbine from a jet engine. One thing that each of these have in common is that their main job is to spin, very fast. The swept look of the fins of this rim scream "motion" through their torque-bent-like spiraling vortex into the center of the axle. The taper of the width of the fins, wider at the outside and narrower toward the inside, also gives the rim the essence of looking down into a whirlpool. The pitch, or angle of the fins (like on a propeller) in theory could be functional by pulling air into the brakes to cool them, but most likely its just for show. The edges are sharp enough to look serious, but uniformly blunted as if they were precision-machined for zero-drag. The surfaces are ultra-smooth and look as though they'd be at home inside a jet turbine.
Implied Motion Example 2This is a pair of Oakley brand sunglasses aimed toward an athletic or otherwise sports-related audience. The colors are loud, but balanced, and share similar traits with color palettes of ski wear and other "extreme sports," including all sorts of bicycling. These glasses are aerodynamic; they look streamlined. The contours seem as though they'd fit like a glove to the wearer's face, as not to let in any dust or unwanted wind. The shape of the lenses almost looks tear dropped from the side profile, suggesting very fast movement, almost like the trailing edge of an airplane wing. The lenses also have a swept back look; they are tilted, the down being swept back slightly. This gives the overall shape or stance of the glasses that similar to a bullet or a fast car. The lenses could also slightly resemble a bird with its wings spread out from above. These glasses have a lot of different implications of motion and movement and fit well on the faces of their target audiences, those who move a lot, and those who move fast.
