How can it be for show cars when the car needs to get rolling since it depends on the wheel's rotation? the car has to be moving, so it's not for show cars, it's for 16-yr old kids that think it's Kool, like type-r stickers and motorsports decals <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'> oh yeah, and don't forget the windshield wiper led's...
It's for those folks who still likes having those bright colored beads that mount to their bicycle spokes...

lol, that is that I thought... but what can you do... I would be afraid they would trigger someones epilepse or something like that and you would have a huge court case when they drive off the road... kinda like strobes... oh well.

rice, yeah, there rice alright, its the Neon radioactive rice that makes you sterile and causes a hideous honda mutation, its rice of the worst kind, its to be avoided, besides, like they said before, what would stop someone from snatching them, then you would lose money, personally, i thought they look okay, but easy to steal, and i wouldnt want them on my car, but to each his own, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':cool:'>

you know it's bad that whenever you're eating rice at dinner you just can't help but laugh.... being a pacific islander (and asian whenever it suits me) i eat a lot of rice.... my mom probably thinks i'm going insane by now.
