DUB’s PimpStar Beats LED Wheels In Hokey Advertising
By Jen
Editor
You’ll surely remember the LED Wheels that Rob blogged from SEMA. As it turns out, DUB’s got a similar product in the pipeline, but MHT’s hilariously earnest homemade-looking promo video for the rims is notably lacking in finesse. PimpStars will help you pick up chicks, the ad suggests, by allowing you to scrawl kindergartenish MS Paint-style messages—while you’re driving, the narrator emphasizes—and then broadcasting them from your wheels to random women in convertibles. What a great idea! Even smarter than texting while driving—and we all know how well that works out. Thanks to Neil for the tip!

Can the cops issue a ticket to Dub for aiding and abetting some serious reckless driving? I know they love saying you don’t have to stop, but even someone who might SMS from behind the wheel is going to have a hard time reprogramming their rims while moving at freeway speed!

Pretty cool, but what a distraction and they’d never last a winter in canada.

LOL. A girl driving a Ferrari is not even going to look at guy driving an Escalede with some light up wheels.

And they’re ‘only’ $16K for a set of 26’s… I think I could find something better to spend that money on.

I’ll be perfectly honest about this. I love ‘em and want a set (as long as the rims work with the car’s appearance).
-
I know, it’s tacky. I just can’t help it, they’re cool.
-
but I won’t get a set because by the time my priorities would allow me to get a set, they’ll be somewhat commonplace.
