    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…

    how long till we see them over here ?
    and how lone till someone is killed when watching them.

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

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