AWESOME or AWFUL? Is The NEXT Big Trend Glow-In-The-Dark Rims?

At this point we've seen it all. Now with the internet we have been able to observe the wackiest trends from all over the globe. Some notables:

"Leather" vinyl-wrapped cars

Chrome exterior paint

Donk - otherwise known as absurdly large rims on standard vehicles

And the list goes on...

However, we think we may have found something that's a bit more...modern. Maybe even a bit too Tron-inspired.

Down below we bring you glow-in-the-dark rims. I don't think a further explanation is needed.

Is it AWESOME or AWFUL?

Those aren't glow-in-the dark. They are LEDs that are fixed to the centre cap and throw light in towards the wheel well. Interesting, I suppose, but not for me.

As long as it stays on Bimmers, Benz', Lexyotas and away from cars with real class like vintage Imperials; I say GO FOR IT! You'll be the coolest tenant I have!

They arent really glow in the dark if they have lights on them that you can cut on at anytime day or night.....fyi, Either way putting lights on wheels is pretty rediculous it looks like something out of Tron which I guess kinda makes it cool on this a 7 series it just looks kinda tacky. Maybe an R8

If I had a motorcycle, I would have a set. This would be interesting tech for night races, LeMans or Daytona perhaps.
