Dub Pimpstar

Dub Pimpstar XP rims are a must for the future Fleamobile. These babies are crying out for the Flea signal...

Each wheel has a built-in microprocessor and wireless adapter, as well as the key component, a set of LED lights that create images while they spin. The images are created using a strobe modulation technique, or possibly voodoo -- we're not quite sure, but the effect is stunning.

The full effect is even more stunning in video (nsfw ads). The SpokePOV Kit looks like a good start for Flea-readers wanting to make a start in the shallow waters of pimpdom.

I think they are naff as hell but the technology is pretty damn interesting it has to be said. Surely the just make it easier to target you when you are shooting at some dealer in a pimped out SUV?
