These will cause twice as many accidents as cellphones currently do.
I can see company's using them for advertising though. Unbelievable!

lol....the title is a lil misleading huh?



...in all honesty though, I dont see how these rims will be street legal....those valve stem caps were outlawed on streets because they had flashing lights....these will probably be ruled the same

My favorite part is when the guy is explaining all that you can do and he says 'you can send text, images, you can even do it while your driving'. It's bad enough having people f'n with their radio while they're driving!

Those things so rock !

I can see the wrecks around me happen as I drive by.

Little pricey, but definitely something new and different.

If u have plain ole' 24' spinners you just got served!

You might be able to see the wrecks as you drive by, but i can see the drive by's while you wreck, then they get out of thier car, steal your rims and put them on thiers and take the F*ck off..

You could set it to say:

"If you can read this, I've been stolen. Please contact my real owner at (###) ###-###".
