Crazy Rims!!!

Hey guys...

I saw these rims online the other day - they are Crazy!

Not exactly my style (I've got a X for towing and light 4x4 duty) but I know some of you trick out your X's with rims and stuff (they look sweet) I just saw these and thought you would want to see them..
They have LED's and wireless modems in each wheel so you can put words/images/whatever on your wheels and you can change them on the fly...

the are the DUB Pimpstars haha...

And the cost a pretty penny too: upwards of $12,000.00 (a set).

Even if rims aren't your style, you have to admire such a pointless use of technology ;-)

Isaac
