Wankers indeed. I think they add 10RHP* per wheel
*RHP = Rice Horse Power

This is not new, i've seen a site for a wheel with multiple LED's all along the spokes and as the wheel spins it makes patterns and shapes in the LED's. Althoughe exedingly tacky a pretty ingenious idea.

I saw 24" chrome spinners for CDN 8500 a piece at the T.O. Auto Show. :shock: They don't even have to steal your car...just your wheels. 
EDIT: This reminds me: You know how gangstas say "they stole my wheels"? They probably say that because their wheels are worth more than the rest of the car.

those are as bad as the "nitrous purge illuminators"
have any of you seen those things, when you purge your nos it shines a light in the cloud to make it glow
this lighting crap is getting outta control
i remember way back in the day when undercar neon was cool, cause it was expensive and rare, and no one had it.....
oh well
