WTF?! #11: LED Display Wheels
Okay, so two WTF installments in one day might be a bit like all your dreams coming true all at once (yeah, probably not, though, unless you're really sad), but while surfing the net, I came across something I just couldn't resist posting.
There are wheels, and then there are customised wheels. Americans, as usual, like to go overboard. Here in Australia, you might call chrome 22-inch wheels "excessive", but Americans haven't heard of that word. You may have heard of "spinners", which have spokes that spin even when the car is stationary. You may also have heard of LED lights which have been embedded into the spokes of the wheels. This custom tuning company has taken the latter idea to a whole new level. First, watch this promotional video.
Not only can you display images in your wheels, you can text or email new graphics to them whenever you like. As the "homie" in the video puts it, "and you can do it while you're driving!" Great! Because that's not, like, SUPER DANGEROUS, at all! I suppose it's all worth it if you get to pick up a blonde bimbo with breast implants.
I found the storyline of this video quite interesting, too. It's a bit like Romeo and Juliet, only destroyed to a pulp by modern "hood" culture and consumerism. Boy sees girl, boy falls in love with her breast implants, then proceeds to stalk girl. Girl falls in love with boy as he woos her with tonnes of chrome and LED representations of her apparently beautiful body. They embrace as they face the glowing sunset, and the love in their hearts is perfectly represented by the "nigger and my bitches" music pumping out from no less than nine subwoofers.
Act 2? Girl gets a restraining order on boy. God bless America

It's just like these shoes I had when I was a kid. They lit up whenever I walked. It was really cool.

that's pimped out. What i find funnier is how the Cadillac Escalade can eventually catch up to the Ferrari on a twisty road. She must've been letting him pick her up.

This is really strange for me, I mean with my friends I think I'm the only one who looks at wheels of cars, and I'm a girl! Those LED lights are crazy. Not bad, but just a little OTT, I think. Thai's comment reminding that it was like those shoes with red lights each time you took a step, I have to agree.
