I have one question about these wheels. WHY???

kevncar · 02-13-2008, 11:25 PM

I saw a set on TV once that had little LED or something embeded in them and as the wheel spun while you drove down the road, they would light up and make a picture on the wheel. I don't remember how much they were, but it was astronomical like the ones above.

No matter how expensive or rare, they are all worth about the same (40¢ lb) once you hit a curb…..

Watching the Pimpstar wideo I was waiting for the porno music to kick in and the real movie to start.

YouTube - pictures in your rims

That's funny. I like how they show the girl instantly drawn to them.

ChevLoRay · 02-14-2008, 10:14 AM

How about these wheels on Jay Leno's '55 Buick? They were custom-made, one of a kind set, and run 17" tires. The wheels look like wheel covers, but they are machined to look like stock wheels with covers. Gotta be expensive, and they're rare, right? But I know you don't want any of these, just answering the expensive/rare part of your post. Enjoy.

I would be running them with a big middle finger! Matter of fact, after my next big drug deal uh, I meant tax return….. I'm getting 'em.

Riveted1 · 02-14-2008, 11:04 AM

I think we've witnessed here that most expensive doesn't necessarily = nicest! Maybe I'll just get some old wagon wheels and bolt em up.....
