The next big rice thing!
I saw the weirdest thing on the road today. I don't know how popular they are since I don't spend all that much time downtown. I can't explain all that well without showing the pics first.
They're on a ball bearing or something with a weight on the bottom so they're always facing up. It makes the car look like it's floating above the road or driving without the wheels moving.
Can you imagine how the ricers are going to take to this? Imagine fake disk brake CALIPERS instead of just the rotors! Imagine Pikachus! Imagine burgers! The possibilities are endless! Ha ha ha ha!

there's been something similar out for Porsches for a while, except its just the little porsche crest at the middle of the wheel. something like $1000 for all four wheels, pretty trick though

Theres a rim I remember seeing thats like that I believe called blades, except when you come to a stop they keep spinning so it looks like your still moving.

Yeah, I saw them too downtown.
I would like to sell these but instead of advertising, I would just have a full scale picture of desirable rims such as Volks, Spoons, Mugens etc. I need a business partner though

INDY/CART already has it in the form of LEDs in the rims of certain cars (like Toyotas) that display a message in the rim that doesn't move and is readable as the car goes by.

Re: The next big rice thing! (B18C5)
This has got to be one of the riciest POSes ever! Looks like it was an Accord 4-door.
I wanted to check if it was on the Rice Boy Hall of Shame, but couldn't find the site. Anybody know the URL for the Rice Boy page?
Yeah, I know, I've been gone from here for months...too busy...haven't fallen off the planet, still prefer my R after test driving both the Z06 & new M3...
