Sad cry for someone who need too much attention. Those are just plain ugly.
Lots of better things to spend a minimum of $12,500 on.

I can see it being useful for advertisements on cars for radio stations, products, etc. Not exactly practical for personal use, though...

has any one concidered the processing power it takes to turn the LEDs off and on at various points, and keep it consistant with variable speeds. i'm surprised by the amount of technology in these wheels. i have to hand it to DUB for taking wheels/entertainment/advertising to another level. Think about this, if you can have a .jpg on there, why not a .gif and for that matter why not an animated .gif

just wait for the mullet dudes to throw up a "motley crue" logo, or "def leppard".

Not being a dick...just saying they've been around for several months now. They've been posted on every message board I'm on at least once, and on here about 3 or 4 times.
