    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 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.

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