Man, I love them but I don't think I'd spend 12k for them. Check out the video in action on those babies! I always wanted to be a pimp star.

Yea, I've seen those B4. Technology like that should be left undeveloped.

Yikes!

I suspect a lot of drug money will be spent on these things, and will be mounted on various SUV's in Detroit.

You know they will be just as illegal as undercarriage lights while moving. Spending 12 K (cheapest price) for something that will get you loads of tickets? No thanks. I'd rather invest in a trusty Geo Metro.

I could see Michael Jackson pimping these out. Each wheel would read, "Follow me, children."
