Default awesome new wheels

check these out!




quote from http://www.autospies.com/article/ind...8&categoryId=1:

'This wheel has the capability to display unlimited styles of graphics and text, only limited by your imagination.

And if you're driving with a wireless internet device like a Treo, you can change the message or graphic realtime and on the fly!

Projected cost?

About $3000 per wheel.

Company: MHT wheels'

awesome!!

I assume that is in Australian dollars, if so its about $2200 US....which is still expensive.

i can just imagine some dumbass rich kid buying a set of those for his Honda Civic or something, his rims would be worth more than the car.
can't say i'd ever get these. maybe as wall decorations or something, but only if they were much cheaper.

hate to say it but i think only Americans would make things so damn expensive and so pointless. plus they are ugly. btw they are located in California so yeah it is in USD. but i think they should be banned because they are a hazard such as when you are driving then the guy changes it and you get distracted and crash!
