Stroboscope + Dubs = Pimpstar

This is one of the most unusual autoparts I've ever seen, obviously the result of what happens when "Gangstas" and "Hackas" collide: A 26" rim called the Pimpstar which contains (as near as I can tell) six multi-colored LED strips, that when standing still create this cool Cylon/KIT-car effect. But wait, there's more... When they spin, the wheels become full color displays via a stroboscope effect. Using Wi-Fi, each wheel can be programmed to display whatever picture you choose to distract other drivers with. I'll admit it would be more satisfying if this were a homebrew project, but its still pretty slick to see it in action. I guess it just goes to show that inside every thug is a nerd yearning to break free.
