Apr 7 2010Rollin' On Lit Dubs, All Over Your Ugly Mugs
I know, I should be a rap artist. Unfortunately, I've been ousted by the rap community for crushing them all in the annual 40-chugging competition. God, get a sippy cup, Jay-Z! Nas -- you're still cool. Anyway, retractable lights for your chrome-y rims.
Each ($500) kit comes with four of the telescoping lights which install in your wheel wells and retract/extend at the push of a button on the included fob. The remote also allows you to select one of seven different colors depending on your mood, and even strobe the lights for grabbing the maximum amount of attention you can.
As ridiculous as they are, I just had to be the first on my block to actually have a set. So -- what do you think? Well, you have to look past the cinderblocks. Pretend they're monster truck tires.

Thanks to Julio, who something something down by the school yard.

i have those for my testicles...
but seriously, the "me and julio down by the schoolyard" reference at the bottom made my day. P.S the streetlight manifesto version of that song is better than the paul simon version.

rap 'artist' is an oxymoron...
That's ghetto man...Stupid people buy rims that are worth more than the car. I saw an old 80's caprice with 26" rims on it, how stupid can you get.

This does not belong on this blog. Only idiots buy spinning rims. Only idiot women go after dudes with spinning rims on their cars.

Hi, my name is Julio, and english is not my first language, so I've never heard (or cared enough to look up) that song. I can tell you, however, that my first impression was that the line sounds creepy. I've only heard weird old men sing that to me as soon as they would learn my name. It makes sense, older men might be more likely to know that song than a younger person, I guess. But more than anything it's annoying to me to hear that line everytime I introduce myself, and every time I greet someone who knows my name. So please, someone make a sick-to-the-power-of-rad song with my name so I can stop hearing that weird line.

Neat. Change them to flamethrowers or chain guns and it would be way cooler.

Yes, let's give all the wiggers another reason to act black.

"even strobe the lights for grabbing the maximum amount of attention you can"
Is that attention from the police?

"...strobe the lights for grabbing the maximum amount of attention you can."
I think the only attention you'll be grabbing is that of the local 5-0.

Thanks for the effort you took to expand upon this topic so thoroughly.
Tires are among the most important components of your car. They are the only components of your car to make contact with the surface of the road, so they alone transmit the energy produced by your car's engine to the ground. They determine in large part the overall handling and performance of any motor vehicle. For all of these reasons, it is important that you are careful when shopping for a new set of tires. There are many tire options covering wide ranges of price, performance, and appearance.
