they arent really tv screens, they are just a line of LEDs that change color as the wheel spins to create the illusion of a full image, much like this clock http://www.thinkgeek...ce/lights/59ac/

Would the image only appear well at a certain speed, or does it adjust to your speed?

I remember seing those at a car show a year or two back. Nice idea to be different but illegal in CA for sure. It doesn't even look good to me though. I like seeing a spinning wheel on a car.

"The software allows you to send custom logos to 1 wheel, or all wheels, without even stopping the card!"

Yeah, real safe. mad.gif   I would be pissed to have some jackass run me off the road and total my car because "he was sending logos to his wheels while driving".

I mean, XBMC in my car is one thing, but image editing and such, that's just plain dumb.  Wrecks waiting to happen.

Just another thing for uneducated/low class minorities to make themselves feel better.

I'm pretty sure "uneducated/low class minorities" wouldn't be able to afford them or figure them out.

They should make these in spinner versions so the image is there even when your sittin still.
