In the last few days you may have read about some high-tech rims called Pimpstar. They’re available from CustomWheel and they’re unlike any rims we’ve seen before. Using built-in color LED lights, they can display any digital image on the wheels. Of course, none of this is too interesting unless you can see it in action. Luckily, we have a video after the jump…

SpokePOV is a single color LED kit with a low speed (8MHz) microcontroller and a 1K EEPROM to hold the image(s).
Pimpstars obviously use tricolor leds and have a windows controller that allows instant
programming changes.
Having said that, this thing’s complexity is not 3,000 times greater and neither should its price be.. this is a weekend project for any competent EE student.

Yes i make serious money so it’s not a big thing. Yes i do have a credit score over 700. yes i own my house own a business, etc. etc. so noone can even tell me anything about spending money foolishly. it’s only foolish to buy it if you can’t afford it or you forsake your responsibilities to buy it.

“staringatthesun” if its true, its not an insult but rather a fact.
Many believe that what one says is agreeable, then its free speech, if its not agreeable its racist. This isn’t free speech then is it?
Many scholars and researchers have been labeled racist by liberals, only due to the negative results discovered in race based intelligence studies that were not mainstream and politically correct for the present time.
The common person sees this every day in hiring of minorities and admittance to higher education. You need not be a Rhodes scholar to understand there is a reason why lower scores for some minorities is acceptable over higher scores due to affirmative action.
This ends up hurting the truly intelligent minority applicant in the long run and puts the rest of society at risk. Standards must not ever be lowered to accomplish race baiting in a society.

regarding the racial slurs/comments esp. directed to Comment by Rechtsradikal
Is this racism? or is it purely jealousy? Here is a product that is original and new, and all i see are people on here turning it into a race war. That’s the real ignorance.
What it comes down to is this. If you have the money to buy them and you want them, do so. Most folks like myself already have are “****” together so we can buy stuff like this without there being a consequence. It’s not about drug dealers n ****, because someone else said it first it’s gonna be some wack wigga from the O.C. that will have them before a black person buys them. I’m definitely buying them, not just because of the styling, i can write off a major chunk of the price to business advertising.
Now if your a broke ass like i’m thinking the majority of the negative writers are, then yeah it is a dumb stupid waste of money and you are a fool to even try to buy them if your still living at home with your mom’s not paying rent and your driving a car that has a value far below the price of the rims.

To those who think the detractors on this thread are just jealous of unobtainable technology, believe me, there is no jealousy going on here. These racial comments are simply instances of venting from people who are sick of the “ghetto-ization” of this country. I certainly fall in that group, although I realize that race is not the sole cause of societal detorioration.
My opinion on these wheels is, generally the people who buy them are over-compensating for self-perceived inadequacies. Think about it, a person who is confident in themselves does not need to add bling, no?

In response to comment #104 without a name.
98% of the detractors are jealous. To put race into it confirms it even more.
But here let’s put it another way. If i was spending 120k on a Action Comics episode with the first appearance of Superman it would be alright? Pats on the back and a hearty cheerio?
I’ll do one better since that cannot be considered apples to apples. I can’t spend my money on rims, but you can drop 18g’s for a newly rebuilt Integra engine with turbo and every possible mod for your 1990 honda civic? Should i consider that ghettoization as you put it? Again some of you need to think before you post. I should consider 7ft wingspan spoilers more “ghetto” on a civic than rims on a truck. At least my customizations still don’t come close to the cost/value of my rides. And again before someone starts the money not spent wisely crap:
I own my own home as well as rental and commercial property.
I drive an ‘04 Hummer H2, an ‘05 BMW 745Li, a 2003 Chevy Hightop Coversion, a 2001 Chrysler LHS and a 97 civic coupe fully modded with tons of awards. I use to run the car rings and competition for years with my vehicles.
I own my own company with 6 locations and a 7th opening up next month throughout northeast ohio dealing with cellular sales. Before that I owned a Car audio/aftermarket install shop. I make more in a year than what most of you will see in 7 years.
I also own Maxxximum Audio (google it)
I don’t work for my money, my money works for me. And i did all of this before i turned 30. So noone in this silly forum thread can say crap to me.
Some of you silly little people just need to realize the truth about yourselves instead of putting out lies/comments about others to make yourself feel good.

Da Don, how did you come to the number 98% in your comment “98% of the detractors are jealous?” What was this you said about thinking before posting? I think you pulled that number out of your ass.
If you spent your money on comics, good for you, at least I don’t have to see your purchase thrust into my face whenever I go out into public.
A well-built engine is usually tucked under a hood. IMO, money spent on optimizing the performance of an engine is not ghetto, it is an intelligent engineering task. Installing 20″, 22″, 24″, 26″, etc, wheels is not an intelligent engineering modification. It actually DETRACTS from the performance of the recipient vehicle due to significantly increasing rotational inertia. And adding flashing lights to your wheels is like buying a fake Rolex. yippee
I consider a 7ft wing on a car ghetto, on par with over-the-top wheels.
Congrats on your financial security. However, I question your standard for taste, not how much money you made last year.

my net worth is very well handled and looking better all the time. thank you. And i was correct with my statement of my money works for me. I do not have to go to work. All i have to do is sign paychecks. I go because i love what i do. There is a difference.
And regarding being a consumer, who is not? The only difference is i can spend it. your trying to unjustify one spending their money on what they want. There’s no need to do it. When i bought the H2 I was able to write off the majority of it. And yes it is paid for as well as all of the other vehicles save one. Same with the house. the only thing i’m paying for is a commercial prop. location, and they folks paying me rent are paying that off.
Same thing with the rims, i can easily write off the whole amount towards advertising. that’s making money work for you my friend. As far as my taste in whatever, that’s my choice. Not yours. Some of you forget that. Your determined to cast your opinions on things onto others. Sorry, i do not follow the flock. One of the reasons why I “Can” do the things i do. I don’t worry about what the next man thinks.
P.S. I never claimed to be a millionaire. I just live well thank you.

in response to >99%:
i used 98% to represent that i don’t think the majority of people that posted are racists.
And you can speak of engines being tucked under a hood or in the trunk or the back seat for all i care it’s still money spent the way you wanted to spend it. What makes your spending of money smarter than mine is the question.
And i don’t spend money on comics, lol i was using that as an example of how people spend money without racists comments began to fly about.
You are correct on a few things regarding rims. Some vehicles lose advantage by larger wheels i won’t argue that, that’s not what i’m here about. I will argue the point that what i do is what i do and what you do is what you do. If a new bodykit that was 3k came out for a toyota and you wanted it, and i didn’t like it i wouldn’t start up with racist slurs like only crackas would max up their credit cards to buy a piece of fiberglass. That would be stupid on my part, because i would be displaying the same ignorance as those who have posted are doing.
You and the “captain” and a few others are still missing the point about this and i fear you will never learn because your ignorance blinds you. This thread is suppose to be if you like the wheels or you don’t. don’t start with the bull**** just because you don’t like something. if you like, say so and keep on. if you don’t like it, say so and keep on. You can’t do that though. You feel that you just have to say something totally out of the circle. That’s where your ignorance shines.

White boys will preempt black dudes in purchasing these corny looking rims. They’ll figure it’ll be oppular amongst blacks so best to first get to them first! After all whites like to rob ideas from blacks all the time by which point blacks no longer are interested.
Once something becomes mainstream white, the blacks move onto something else where the whites once again will follow

Donny, You’re missing the point. You can spend your money on anything you wish. H-2’s around here in Southern Florida as an example, are had by many immigrant-landscapers, hardly a trophy vehicle and yes some are pimped-out as yours.
I was hoping that you have already made millionaire status, since many here may believe your spending like “one”. Since you haven’t reached that level, its almost a safe bet you’ll never will, simply put by the way you talk of money, you Donny, don’t respect it.
Your living in a delusional life style trying to feed your ego and your need to be noticed. All this comes at a heavy cost that “you” only think, you can afford. Your forgetting your life-clock, your getting older yet no wiser with your philosophy in spending. Don’t be ashamed, many Americans are in the same boat as you’re in. Millionaire status today only mean upper middle class, yet you’re not even there.
Donny, do you have the discipline to become and remain a millionaire?

Response to post # 122. Its a mistake to compare wiggers want with what whites want. Wiggers are usually white-trash or over spoiled brats searching for recognition that their parent couldn’t provide them.
Your comment that whites want to rob blacks of ideas, what ideas are you talking about? How to live generations on the dole and still be respected in your community, or the one, who’s my daddy? How about, I’ll grow up to be just like my daddy if I’d only know what prison he’s in? Lets not forget the idea that my Ho will be just as Ho as my mom’s.
Sounds a bit racist to me, Jack, but hey, you can’t be racist since your black. Keep believing in that myth. Jack if you don’t want to buy the rims, its fine by me, money well saved. You are saving money, ain’t you, Jack?
The above was hard for me to lower myself to your level, but I think you get the point.

in response to the captain
who doesn’t want to be a millionaire? Which is why i open several stores a year. I’ll get there before i’m 35, no question about that. If i was going on my assets alone right now i’m almost there already.
But at the same time, I’m enjoying my life. And will enjoy it to the fullest. Ya can’t take it with you, ya know what i mean? Even still this would have nothing to do with taking away from that. Like i said a purchase such as those particular rims i can right off as an expense towards advertising/business.
And in future reference you can refer to me as Da Don or The Don, not “Donny”. I do not refer to you as captain kangaroo, if you’d like to continue this as a professional conversation show the same respect.
Now don’t get me wrong regarding some of the things you are saying. You spoke literally a lot of truth in some of your earlier posts. I agree with the majority of it.
True, no one has any business buying those if they are sacrificing from other means to buy them. I do not believe one living with their momma not paying rent. i would not recommend people buying them if their not driving a vehicle over a certain value. no i wouldn’t say buy them and let your true responsibilities suffer from it. That’s stupid. That’s ignorance. But me buying them for the purpose i am buying them does not hurt my wallet nor does it hurt anything else. If anything i can make these profitable. Some of you don’t understand that yet. Again that’s making money work for me.
This whole topic went off the deep end because a very large number of people in here pulled out a race card and tried to play it. That’s what threw this whole thread into disorder. Unneccessary commenting. From weak minded individuals.

I cant help but find it funny that the people who come on here and talk about how cool these are, seem to share many of the same qualities.
For instance; can’t use proper english, inability to even remotely form a decent sentence structure, broken caps-lock keys. Whereas the people who give dissenting opinions at least try to give explanations as to why they feel that way.
I wouldnt call myself a supremecist of anything; however I am bigotted to stupid people who seem opposed to at least attempting to lift themselves up to a higher standard. Makes no difference if you’re black, white, asian or any other ethnicity. Presenting yourself with educated facts and well versed opinions will go alot farther to reduce the racial comments than say, “DEEZ RIMZ R OFF DA HOOK YO!!! IMA GONE 2 GIT SUMA DAT.”
Hard not to snicker at that. These things perpetuate the racial generalizations. Number 129, I applaud you on your post.
Personally, I feel these things will go towards the lame side of the modding crowds. Especially when someone brings them down to the price where they are affordable to the masses. I agree on the distraction point also, which is why a lot states dont allow outside lights, other than those found standard, on vehicles other than emergency vehicles. Your state may vary, but I foresee many citations issued because of these.
The concept of this is very old. I had a toy that was much more simplistic but still conceptually similar to this in the early 80s if I recall. Basically, I’m not much impressed, but hey, if you have the money to throw away for these, more power to you.

As for the “special” few that automatically related these with black people, I don’t even know where to start on your ignorance. The contradicting statements about all of them being poor and dumb, yet somehow being able to afford 5 figure rims and work the technology required to program the things are laughable. I’d sooner bet that I’d see this sort of thing in Las Vegas or Silicon Valley before I’d say I’d see it on the inner streets. But no, shiny rims always = black people, so it’s GOT to be possible…. *rolls eyes*
Some of you don’t know the first thing about black people outside of what you see on negative TV news, music videos, and in “hoods”. It’s like trying to say I know about white people and war vets because I look at a bunch of homeless bums and MTV all day, it just isn’t a fair representation.

I’m not truely suprised to see the racial remarks here, but I am saddened by them. It’s too bad people automatically go there, when it is likely this product will cross many racial and class boundaries, as already seen by the comments on who will buy them. Sure, there will be people tossing them on cars that aren’t worth it, who probably can’t afford them in the first place. But that is their choice and these comments should be about the merits (or lack thereof) of the rims themselves.
Personally, I wouldn’t be caught dead with them on my car, but I do think it’s a really cool idea.

Rest assure, that I know the difference between you’re (you are) & your and Their’s & there’s (there is)
I’ve been pestered by teachers on proper grammar use since the early 1960’s and I will tell you like I told them, grammar mistakes will not determine who will and who will not make it in this country of ours. Am sure that any teacher, instructor, and professor I’ve ever had will gladly switch places with me today, proper English or not.
It never seizes to amaze me how you want to jump on Da Don and myself for typo errors when you got ebonics going on all around you. You’re worrying about Da Don and myself who have already “made it” or on the way there, yet you got these other poor souls that could really use your guidance that only have a snow ball chance in hell of getting above the poverty line with their language skills.
Its one thing to communicate with one another and its another when 80% of the population have no idea what one’s saying.
Teacher, teaching one how to become financially secure and not a burden on society is much more important than practicing proper grammar when the subject can communicate intelligently to begin with. This is something our public school systems have failed to do for over 40 years in this country. You’re not the solution but part of the problem! You’re being led by your unions in what to teach and program our children to become and that’s CONSUMERS and SPENDERS of the future!
How many times have we heard the stories that some immigrant comes to the US, not knowing the language along with empty pockets and in ten, twenty, thirty years they reached millionaire status or better with hard work and determination along with discipline? I didn’t see any mention of this person becoming a multi millionaire due to his grammar usage, have you?
Can you name any millionaire or above that are English teachers or professors that made it to that status by only using proper grammar? In Britain, the prisons are full of prisoners that use proper grammar.
Communication is important here. I hope I made myself clear.

If i wanted to “show off” i would have posted the pics of what’s inside of them.
Again like yourself most people see these rims as being flashy only. That’s where you get sidetracked and off topic. Me personally, i see them as a tool. It’s sad you can’t go into a forum talking about rims and just have some fun. Matter of fact this is the first comments thread i have been in where people had to make something as simple as rims into a race card. who cares what they cost. who cares who buys them. Like i’ve said so many other times, you either do or you don’t. Leave it at that.
So here, let’s see who’s going to be the better man/or woman. From this point forward let’s just talk about whether you like the rims or not. I’ll start it off, and if you can’t say anything without insulting another person, you should some professionalism on your part and not say anything. (But of course someone is going to prove me wrong and say something ignorant.)
Here’s my new comment:
Nice rims, they are original from what i’ve seen. I would strongly consider buying them.
Hey illusion, what vehicle have you been working on?
I never really got into rally racing, i’ve done competition, but mostly for show/car audio. I’ve raced my civic at Norwalk Raceways here in Ohio but that’s about it. It’s an upgraded B16a with a few add on’s but nothing serious.

Illusion, you make me laugh. Maybe you were being sarcastic, maybe not. If not, I feel bad for you. But it doesn’t matter because I’m better than all of you. I own a Fortune 500 company, eat caviar off of these rims, I punched Heffner in the junk one time, and I’m better looking than you.
Please. Can we see more /epeen ?
To the two dorks, Capt and Da Don — you can bring your supposed stories of success to these boards but you are fundamentally indifferent than the person who buys any bling because you wave that which you think is yours and only yours, albeit status/knowledge, in the faces of those you think as lesser. You are fundamentally indifferent.

I think it is safe to say when i speak of the captains comments in addition to my own, they had nothing to do with what people here couldn’t buy. Again your looking beyond what this “fiasco” has turned into to. No one said no one could buy these. I just justified why i could buy them, and commented even before that why some folks should not buy them. People making 5 bucks an hour should not invest in something like this. that’s not downing or belittling anyone, that would just be a very bad buy.
if you have little children you are not taking care of you shouldn’t buy them because your priorities are misplaced.
if your living at home with your mom and not paying her any rent, you should not buy these. Pay your mom’s some rent. Better yet be an adult and move out and stand on your own two feet.
If you have your **** together then do whatever you want. I’m not going to stop you.

To the one named, Stupid:
No “one” owns a fortune 500 company, simply because they’re public held companies.
As Da Don mentioned, spend your money anyway you like to, just be responsible to your other priorities first.
What I have been saying early on to Da Don had to do more with achieving a higher net worth before spending as if you already achieved it. This was only advice/motivator and not a put down.
*stupid* you’re getting involved what parents would say is an adult conversation, though you may be an “adult” age wise or physically, your far from being an adult in financial terms. Be wise and just listen, you have very little to contribute to a financial conversation.

“No “oneâ€? owns a fortune 500 company, simply because they’re public held companies.”
You nearly wrote an entire diatribe on the efficiacy of grammar and how it is not directly related to success. I had a typo, you had a typo — so be it. Lay off.
Further, you’re missing the point of my argument and your straw man attacks do not go unnoticed, nor unappreciated. For the sake of the crowd, I will reiterate it once more.
For you two, moreso Cpt than DaDon, to come on here and wave your financially fiscal finger at those who would consider purchasing what is obviously a device of oppulence by citing your own personal success as the metric is, in fact, fundamentally no different than crack dealer who stuntz in the ghetto.
“What I have been saying early on to Da Don had to do more with achieving a higher net worth before spending as if you already achieved it. This was only advice/motivator and not a put down.”
I suggest you go back and read your initial post to sniff out your condescending attitude.
“though you may be an “adultâ€? age wise or physically, your far from being an adult in financial terms”
You’re. And further, you know nothing about me nor have I provided any hints as to my financial status. I could be uneduated as hell yet be a trust fund baby. I suggest you get off your high horse and look elsewhere.

I can sit here for hours listening to the Captain and Da Don talk about business and finance. Its a breath of fresh air to hear two intelligent and successful men talk about priorities in their personal and business lives.
Its very unfortunate to hear remarks from younger men, both black and white that don’t seem to have a clue on what a foundation or financial base is. These two men are “there”! The rest of you sorry brothers need to get your heads out of your butts, there’s more to life than dam bling.
May be there’s a reason why only 5% of the US population are successful, the rest may have lower priorities than these two individuals. You younger brothers are only interested in being the first on the block, these two men own that “block”. If you got pimp stars on your ride, you may get me to look, but you better have more than bling on a ride to keep me interested. I’m looking for a man to be like these two men are, not another loser, been there and done that too many times. I’m far too educated, good looking and business oriented to play with losers that have nothing to bring to the table of life.
If you’re planning to bling-me than you better have something behind that bling. Otherwise your just another loan paying wannabe in my eyes.

“You seem to have a personal problem with anyone and everyone here”
Three people does not constitue the whole, and I don’t have a ‘personal’ problem with anyone – I’m just calling it like I see it.
If anything, Captain is the real hypocrite here because once again, I will state that him flaunting his alleged financial success is no fundamentally different than the 50-cent punk sportin’ bling. And you know what? You’re eating it up hook, line, and sinker. You even said it – ‘They might catch my eye, but he better have somethin behind that’.
What’s the difference between:
‘Oh wow check out the wheels on that ride! Man he is fine!’
and
‘Check out how successful he is! I know he can take care of ME!’
On the surface, quite a bit — right? I mean with a man who is successful, he can make a lot more happen in YOUR life. But at the most basic levels, flaunting is as flaunting does. Why don’t you go after a man who is a good human being with strong morals and ethics instead of seeing the immediate financial rewards? Hence, you receive the branding of trophy wife.
“I’m far too educated, good looking and business oriented to play with losers that have nothing to bring to the table of life.”
ie. Money. Not just any money, but real money. And exactly what would YOU bring to the table? Hey, if money is all you’re after just come out and say it….at least be truthful.

There was a previous comment saying “Pimps an ho’s spending more money on wheels than the car itself, or worse yet on their illegitimate kids, homes, retirement, etc”….I’m a bit surprised considering they were checking the rims out themselves! What were they looking for? Did they ever think that maybe these rims were invented because someone found a way to pay for their kids or retirement?? Probably not considering they didn’t think to run spell check before they submitted their comment either

You just don’t get it, Stupid. The difference between the Captain and 50-cent is that the Captain was trying to teach the rest of us what to look for and possibly how to make it as he did. 50-cents doesn’t give a rats ass if the rest of us made it or not, as long as we buy into his crap is all he’s about.
The Captain is talking from experience just as Da Don is, what’s your problem with that, Stupid. Don’t tell me that deep down inside you’re jealous of them both, because that what it appears to be on this end. If Da Don and the Captain give an inclination of their wealth, I’m all ears and willing to learn from both these gentlemen. Do you expect me to listen to some crack head fool instead, talking about his personal life, get real!
Both these gentlemen are articulate in their speech and I cannot find either one of them to be hypocrites, if one or both are con artists, I’ll pick it up sooner rather than later. Speaking from my experience and education these men know what they’re talking about, which is far more than I can say about you, Stupid.
You asked if I was all about money, Stupid. No I’m not about money but reality, Stupid. Money is a resource and I’m sure both Da Don and the Captain will agree with me here. With it, fair or not, you’re not going to get far without it.
You also eluded to myself and what I bring to the table of life, how about a career in finance, I’m formally educated, live debt free while living frugally, I’m a good cook, a great listener, I’m in great athletic shape and have my own growing nest egg with no baggage. So I believe I have something to offer to that right man.
Stupid, try and lighten up, your jealousy is far too obvious, as a matter of fact, I venture to say you probably have a negative net worth as well as poor grammar skills, however I won’t hold either of those against someone like you. Ta-ta

In response to post # 213.
The Captain was laying out the financial foundation first, by addressing:
“Get a decent education.
Get a decent respectable job.
Save, invest, reinvest.
Build up a credit score (FICO)of over 750.”
He also tried to use negative motivation by stating the fact:
“The sad fact is that only less than 1% of you will follow this, the rest of you will continue to remain welfare-slaves and wage-slaves for the rest of your lives in lock-step behind your proverty-pimps.â€?
Stupid, was this over your head?
What you didn’t get with my “poor grammar” remark towards you, was that you either need proper grammar skills or as a substitude, wealth. Another one over your head. Next I may have to draw pictures for you.
You mention Suze Orman and her books. That’s nice, however there are better books out there on wealth building than Suze’s. When I have nothing to do, I may watch Suze and can usually predict what she’s going to tell a caller.
You may personally find nothing new up to this point on what the Captain wrote, but others here are just learning to crawl in the financial world here. Since you like to speak when your not spoken to, how about you, Stupid, give us some book titles that can financially benefit nearly everyone here?
I’m sure the Captain and Da Don can do it right off the top of their heads. Try and remember that your not the only one in this forum, Stupid.
BTW, what is your net worth anyway? If your lying, your only lying to yourself.

I was being TOTALLY sarcastic when I referred to Suze Orman. She’s a hack. There is NO SECRET to building wealth. It takes hard work, dedication, experience, discipline, planning, execution, and more hard work. Thus, IT IS common sense. Accepting these responsiblities and carrying them out is not common behavior.
Ever hear the saying ‘The harder I work, the luckier I get’.
?
You stated:
“I venture to say you probably have a negative net worth as well as poor grammar skills”
And now claim that you meant:
“What you didn’t get with my “poor grammarâ€? remark towards you, was that you either need proper grammar skills or as a substitude, wealth”
Change your mind?
OK, I’ll bite. As for starter books, I’d recommend:
Economics of Futures Trading
Options As a Strategic Investment Edition
Winning in the Futures Market
The Warren Buffet Way
Technical Analysis from A to Z
Others may recommend Rich Dad/Poor Dad series – but – the information is out there.
And the books you recommend would be?

if you are in medical school, then you need to either learn how to type, how to proof read or simply how to spell before you decide to post. Because you sound like the stereo type that many on here are advertising is the primary consumer of this product.
As for said comments pretaining to stereotyping: 1. this is a business venture no different then car performance mods or stereo systems. It’s an idea. It’s not for everyone but neither is the choice aftershave you use or the dildo you shove up your ass. It may work great for you but for the next guy, they may want a smaller dildo or possible they are more of a man then you are and want a larger one. Who cares. Stick yours in your mouth and shut up. You don’t have to buy it. No one is making you pay for anything. Great you gave us your opinion. thanks. Our lives are now enriched. now shut up.
2. stereotyping is based wholely AND solely off one premise: ignorance. If you are stereotyping, then you are ignorant. So shut your dumb ass up. There are enough people walking around here with gas stinking up the place that we don’t need your oral flatulence making it any worse.

My God…..I have just come on here to look at the PimpStar wheels as their details are being passed around on UK car sites where a lot of fun is being poked at them, but I am disgusted by the rascist comments being openly displayed on this site. Come on guys you live in the Land of the Free etc. etc and to the outside world you got over all this rascist crap in the 70’s.
Here in the UK we have our problems, but only the thickest (dumb) white person would write stuff like this.
OK so the wheels are not very sophisticated and not to most people’s taste, but I don’t like Mullet haircuts, implanted boobs, bling in general, rap music, western boots in the city, tight denim jeans, American cars in general, Mr Bush, US Customs, American air hostess’s (so old and so nasty……..but somebody must like em or else we wouldn’t have them.

a large bulk of folks are still playing the silly race game i see over some wheels
To answer #274 only one vehicle is not paid off and that’s because it’s a lease. (the 745li)
This will be my last post regarding this page and then y’all can do whatever makes you happy, because i am…
1. Thanks for all the compliments i got over through email, much appreciated. Those that asked just get in touch with me by yahoo messenger and msn messenger with the info i gave you.
2. As far as the racism, it’s ok, i understand. Racism evolves from fear. ergo, you fear us. And no i’m not saying everyone’s racist, but for the select few, it pleases me to know i have that much influence over you. It’s pleasing to know that the same ones who consider themselves racist are the same ones sitting in tanning salons trying to get darker, are buying up the jay-z and nelly cd’s and will flock in droves this weekend to go see ATL with T.I. and Baby Boi. It’s also nice to know that the majority of the ones considering themselves racists usually are nobodies. Nobodies in real life and definitely nobodies on the internet, their overboard comments tell you that. they are looking for power here they can’t find inthe real world.

Thank you Wanda for being sensible and thinking about the image you present to the public before presenting it. There is only one place certain types of people are welcome and that place is with those trying to project the same image as they. If this device makes a profit then that will be good allowing bills to be paid and people who are in need to be helped (let’s hope). The best thing that has positively helped bring me out of the white trash world (born in and raised in)is studing my Bible and learning that God sees all and is everywhere helping me be a better person. This knowledge has caused me to try harder and do more.

Wanda you are wonderful with your standing. You may have come from a family that were not well off and lived in these types of neighborhoods and it is clear that you have learned from your surroundings and realized that aquiring an education and working for a living is a good thing. Your use of the “N” word should be proof that you are of caucasion descent, as for me (came from SOUTHERN poor white trash), it is not for me to use the “N” word since white is my natural color. It is also of clear understanding to me that using that word without being one is not good for my health and well being. Thank you wanda for being black and bold with a taste of good character about you….that is what makes you beautiful and your gorgeous smile shows your great attitude with a smile, and is a wonderful thing to behold.
These fancy hub caps are just another persons idea being used to make money and as we can see Wanda has found another way to make money without exploiting her culture’s little fancies.

Huh??? What???? Lady, I sell wireless phone service out of my stores. Online i sell cellular phones, car audio/video, home audio/video, and related electronic items. what consequence does that have against the black race or any race? Like i said “lady” your not making any sense. None at all.
The only problem you have with my political ideology is the fact that it is not the same as yours. As a matter of fact ideology has nothing to do with a set of rims. You either like them or you do not. Does it make me a better person than you because i buy them?? NO. Does it make you a better person than me because you do not buy them? NO.
But i’m going to share something with you “Wanda”, i’m not the only person who thinks your not a black woman, here’s some excerpts from a few emails i recieved after your comments:
“The language and expressions used in that rant is something that white racists say most of the time. My guess is that a white boy poser wrote that ****.”
“wanda, huh? sounds like a honkey trying to pull the old 52 fake”
“you called it right on the money she’s far from black”
“Even I have to admit, I find it very hard to believe an African-American woman would bash her own in view of racist individuals. I’m neither white nor black but I can tell this is an attempt to insult blacks even moreso than those that are claiming their true ethnicity. Good call.”
and to answer #302, no i am not white. I am black. Not mixed, not jamaican, not caribbean, not african. I am black.

African American woman??? You got that wrong, I may be black but I don’t consider myself African. I’m an American woman that happens to be black. Besides Africa isn’t a country fool. If you’d have stayed in school you’d know that.
To the poster that states the use of my language and writing is a give away, why? Because I’m not lowering myself to speaking ebonics or am not misspelling enough words? In other words I’m not acting BLACK. LMAO What a cop-out.
If you want to read street slang, check out the whites in this forum that speak and write it, they do a better job than the “brothers” here. LOL
Yes am black, yes am female, but am also a black female republican as well. It seems you can’t handle the truth, oh god forbid she’s one of them, you think.
Surprise, many more like me out here. You don’t notice us because we’re too busy making a life for ourselves and family than to rant and rave about what it is being black and the pain of it all. We don’t play the victim, never have and never will.
Maybe I should take it as a compliment that I don’t sound black in my writings, I think I will.
BTW, Even though I can give you the address in NYC I grew up in, that won’t prove much since anyone on the internet can google an area. I should probably leave it like this, sort of like a female Zorro, no one knowing or believing my true identity.
Didn’t “Wanda’s fan” suggest that I was Caucasian in an earlier post? I found it, post #289
It reads, “Your use of the “Nâ€? word should be proof that you are of caucasion descent”. Now if the two of us were the same person, why on earth would I say that, especially if I’m trying to convince the opposite.
Face it, your reading the words of a strong intelligent black republican female and you’re dumbfounded.
Weren’t you all going to go back to talking rims, why the sudden interest and remarks about who I really I’m, you’ll never believe me anyway.

In response to Wanda’s message to me in #306 where she was called caucasion by me. Please accept my appology for calling you white by mistake. What should have been said by me (if it wasnt for me being blond) was that you are “white lacking” (since thinking up another polite word for colored person is beyond me at this time). Please forgive me for calling such an extraordinary woman as yourself something lower than the level you have placed yourself through hard work, perseverance and patience.
Mr. Da Don,
In regards to your comment in #305.
It is not below me to back someone speaking out for something they believe in and due to your business it is clear to me that these products do interest you in a way that will add to your profit margin…Respectable!
There is no hood (ghetto) for me to come out of except small town (a few miles outside of town) poor white trash. Being an appliance repairman in high school left me with quite an experience of how the people of the “bad side of town” lived and acted be they white, black or mexican. Colledge was my goal graduating as valedictorian with a degree in electronics. My greatest endeavor to date is studying the Bible and sharing my knowledge with other’s who want to learn. To my suprise, dean’s of Christian colleges have compared my current knowledge with that of their top instructors (it would be nice to get an ego over this) but still there is learning to do and people to teach. Please incorporate God into your life by bringing up THIS subject when you are performing the noble actions of teaching others how to conduct the business transactions of their lives. Your statement of how you help others does gain my upmost respect but your cussing and name calling draws away from this pinnacle.
Thank you
Yours in Him

Hey Wanda’s fan,
If you are who you really say you are then i applaud you on your personal accomplishments. Like i said in before in #194 the difference between me and a lot of posters on here is that i didn’t come here to bash people as people have tried to do me. I’ll give any person their due props/accolades, etc.
Like i said i came here to just give my opinion on some rims and was attacked left and right. I didn’t mind, i found some of the responses childish and amusing. Like i said it was more or less folks showing their ignorance. Look at the commenst from #274, #291, and #292. Clearly a hater. kid was trying his hardest to find something negative on me. seriously what was the purpose? Look at the comments on #168 and #227. Again out of the blue, i’m being called a liar. Trust me i have better things to do than make up lies i wouldn’t be able to provide proof of. like finish x-men2 rise of the apocolypse on x-box.(LOL)
Now people like Wanda who come on here and play step in fetch to gain favor from others is a totally inexcusable.
Then to point me out to make me out as the beast without knowing about anything me, she deserves no respect from me. Clearly she thought i was some drug dealer from her comments. Far from it.

it’s not about not affording them. They take what should be and what shouldn’t be to the extreme. Everyone’s entitled to an opinion but some people take it too far.
For example you or myself would think it ridiculous to pay 250k for a comic book(someone just recently bought an action comics with the first appearance of superman). I might think that’s the dumbest move in the world, but it’s not for me to tell the person who bought it what to do with their money, or flame them for it. Same here. It is no one’s place to bash and negatively comment others because of their opinions, as long as no one’s doing anything directly to you to hurt you.

Again as posted a moment ago, unnecessary attacks, lol. I’m sure you already read this somewhere up there but i only posted the pics to quiet an individual who thought i was a “liar”.
And for someone who “doesn’t care” you sure took the time out to look at the pictures. And if you can’t see take another look. That shiny stuff on the truck? it’s a chrome kit.(again with the people not thinking before posting, lol) Everything that was black was replaced with chrome pieces.
And i’m not a cellular “salesman” I own stores which sell cellular service. There is a difference. Even still i never said that makes me better than the next person. So tell us, what do you do?

I’m white and have been a cop for sixteen years. I’ve seen a lot of things reflecting the darker side of life. I check out the link to this website detailing new rims and find the most disturbing, ridiculous, sad and scary forum I’ve ever seen. I’ve always judged men by the content of their character not the color of their skin. A famous man from a long time ago wanted the same thing. I find it hard to believe most of the comments posted here. I realise some of it for what it is, Infantile ,but the main under current is an intolerance and frustration suggesting Americans are no closer to reconciliation than they were 45 years ago. The foundation of America is freedom. Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Choice. I don’t believe all of this freedom reieves us of tolerance,reasonable conduct, respect for other people and responsibility to our fellow men. Nuff said on that’. As for the rims the technology is cool and the applications are enormous. Everyone seems to be forgetting about politics. The rim market doesn’t exactly have a strong lobbying presence and I forsee politicians tripping over themselves making laws to ban these and similiar items. Common sense says there are enough distractions on the road without someone trying to watch a rim ‘ movie’ going down the highway. Until they become illegal enjoy them. I need a distraction every now and then on patrol. Don’t do anything illegal and you won’t have to worry about me. I like quiet shifts.

Hear hear! I sincerely agree! Let us have respect for each other, and love our country even moreso for it’s new found strengths and diversity!
It truly doesn’t matter who loves these rims, they are best suited for show cars. The design is genuinely distracting, as it is supposed to be, and that simply cannot be allowed on public roads as it is unsafe. Especially when they are marketing them as “Customizable while driving, with no need to stop”. Wheels were not meant for text-messaging.
Interesting design, undeniably attractive to some, but thankfully will reside on concept cars and show cars and not on our highways.
