OK a handfull of people around here know I'm into custom cars and trucks. I was surfing the web to see what new products are out and came across wheels that show LED images in them while you drive. At first I thought, ok just to be able to do that is pretty cool, then it hit, why the heck would you want these and then I got it, to display your favorite cigar bands..heh

Check them out in action

Company that sells them. Look at the prices

That is really cool. If they catch on the prices wil drop.

You know we'll see some rapper or other artist with too much money with some shortly.

Very cool... you know there was some technogeek thinking this up that would never actually put them on his vehicle, but there definatly is a market.

I don't think its very appealing, but it is very cool from a technology standpoint... who would ever expect wheels that do that? This might be a hard investment to make money on.

Interesting technology, but one of the most stupid applications for it, imo.

I'm sure these will be big in the barrios of LA and Miami ...

Wow that's crazy....illuminate a solid image with a moving object. I'm sure the prices will come down with time, but yeah you'll see rappers and basketball players with these pretty soon I'm sure. Never even heard of those...must be pretty damn new. Those are somethin else.

Oddly enough, the site I was just looking at before checking BotL for the day had a bunch of stuff on the Adafruit bike spoke kit and the software for it, and a friend and I were talking about how to adapt it for car rims...

spooky, neh?
