Forget the spinners: pimp rims go high-tech

Coyote · 26-03-2006 3:14am #1

In the last few days you may have read about some high-tech rims called Pimpstar. They’re available from CustomWheel andthey’re unlike any rims we’ve seen before. Using built-in color LED lights, they can display any digital image on the wheels. Of course, none of this is too interesting unless you can see it in action. Luckily, we have a video after the jump…

You don't have reversed wheels in Ireland yet, do you? Or whistlers? (Those, you'll love..)

"You can send text, graphics, digital photos to the wheels, even while you drive" - Very safety concious.

I could see them being used on taxis n that for advertising... They have em in the uk, they just bolt onto ur wheel.. U upload txt/graphic via ur pc.. Think it was about £180 for two wheels.. They where only mono tho, not full colour..

They are Dope tho to the Maximum.. Hyper Hyper!!!!

No shortage of losers in the Irish modding scene. If anything losers are in the majority.
