True story: While down in the states I was yapping with my brother about using hubcaps as speaker grills.  We also discussed this EXACT idea, right down to the electric motor, but we added effects like neon and a variable speed motor so they could act as a fan to keep the cone and dustcap cool.   We thought it was a stupid idea, what kind of fool would buy that sh*t...  we would have sold a million.

Ok I probably qualify as the younger crowd hear, and if maybe the overall concept wasn't outplayed on wheels as is, this might be interesting. This is simply looking to overkill. I mean hell, they make hubcaps now that spin. Ever seen an early 90's grand am with em? I have. Christ, buy real wheels. I'm gonna be content with my standard 5 point 17" wheels I'm getting when I have the 1400 :) No spin, just a nice chrome wheel that fits with the 5 point design my car has. (I hate this ugly 15" wheel)

Sometimes I like the graphics (Chrome flames I don't think would look bad as long as you made them and put some touch to fit your car and not a standard package.) I like flashy, but wow, lets make the trunk look like it is moving... I personally like the full effect of being able to see my subs bump, don't need any distraction from that.

Flipped through the channels and saw these grills in a music vid. If rappers have them then 10 million more wannabees are gonna buy. This is a gold mine.
