    Well....they're something all right. couldn't get the video to work very well, but enough to get the idea. I guess spending cash on something like that is worth it to some folk, just not this stingy old man. I admit they'd be fun to see though....on someone else's car.

    This will give a whole new dimension to instant messaging. Fun, maybe George Barris would like them, but NOMP (notonmyprius) I think the name "Pimpstar" says it all.

    Evan: you aren't missing much. The technology, like television, is interesting; the content, like television, isn't.

    I have to say that's actually pretty cool. I don't think I'd ever get them, but I still like them.

    Yeah, I agree there. :)

    I hope they wouldn't prove to be a distraction to another driver and cause an accident. My wife finds those spinner-type hubcaps distracting.

    I think Danny and the mods should all get a set so they can advertise for Prius Chat where ever they may go!!!!

    I just occured to me:

    You can have images of a questionable nature displayed on those things...

    And you would quickly be ticketed. Most states have penalties for showing porn on in car TV's that are visible from the outside. The law would simply classify these under this law and you'd get a nice hefty fine.

    I think this would be great if I had a business and wanted to advertise, especially if I needed to keep changing the ads...no need to keep creating new hardcopy signs and it really gets noticed. Although I suppose you could do the same thing with an LED sign in your vehicle window. :huh: Actually, that makes me wonder if these rims might violate some regulations regarding vehicle lights, hmmm.

    I didn't see how much the rims cost. My guess it would be way too much to consider buying just for the bling factor with out having a worthwhile message to put out.

    I can think of several times I pull up to a stop light and look beside my car where there is a vehicle with spinners. It feels like you are moving so you hit the brakes then you notice they aren't moving, they just have spinners.

    Speaking from experience?

    j/k :)

    Ok, so I suppose you could tone it down to "soft core", or just swimsuits... I'm sure some cop somewhere just couldn't help themselves, and would bust you for some sort of distration type offense...

    Then again, speaking from personal experience of having various illegal components on various vehichles at various times, and various forms of illegal "bling", you don't really keep those things on ALL the time... :ph34r:

    Oddly, just about two weeks ago, while I was in Tampa for a bit, I saw a Lambo Murcieaglo (sp?) with, yes, chrome spinners...

    Hey, whatever makes you happy, is how I see it! :lol:
