LED Lights For your Rims

[jdawg 5,000+ posts]

Bikes and semi's are allowed to have as many lights as they want IIRC

they cant be moving though, you could put a billion yellow along the side or a billion red along the back, laws dont apply to numbers, just colors and no moving unless its an emergency vehicle

Lol, my girlfriend has a fishing pole that does the same thing. Maybe it would be cool if you were a girl?

Your girlfriend's fishing pole lights up? She doesn't catch many fish after dark, does she?

Illegal yes cool depends on the car I had an neon underglow kit on my old car. Is it worth the ticket if you drive with them on NO.

i think it would look good on a bike because the valve stem is centered on the wheel unlike a car. So it wouldnt look like a floating ring on the outside of the wheel.

I was watching this video on youtube and this guy had some sick LED's on his car. i want to get some like his or close to it, but i dont want 4 big things sticking outside each wheelwell like this ebay ad - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/crazy-sale-multi-color-Rims-wheels-LED-lights-22-18-20_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trkparmsZ72Q3a543Q7c66Q3a2Q7c65Q3a12Q7c39Q3a1Q7c240Q3a1307Q7c301Q3a1Q7c293Q3a1Q7c294Q3a50QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em14QQhashZitem290280970523QQitemZ290280970523QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

please dont to it.....you are just asking to be tacky as hell. Next, you should put some **** star mudflaps and curb feelers on it, to finish the trifecta of douchy.

sorry for the honesty, but c'mon. You have just enuff on that. Dont be like the guy w/ chrome rims, chrome fender trim, chrome door and window piping trim, and chrome license plate frame on their ride. There is such a thing as too much, especially when its something like that. Early '90's, yes, 2008 NO

^^^^ I agree I cant stand all that tacky chrome crap.

FYI putting chrome valve stems and center caps, and lighted caps on bikes actually throw the wheel balance off, and if you look @ a set thats been on there for a while, instead of straight up and down, they are horribly slanted, and start to leak.

I know from experience with my 2 hayabusa's. My drag busa was mostly chromed w/ chrome wheels, and w/ just chrome valve stem caps it threw the balance off. My road busa is fully chromed....whatever isnt painted is chromed, and w/ chrome valve stems and caps, it threw the balance off so bad after a while the bike shimmyed around 150+.

I say this because the lighted ones are actually heavier than the chrome ones.

I hope i helped a little.

In PA anything considered ornamental lighting is illegal. I'm not sure but that might be completely illegal even if they are off when you are driving. That includes interior and exterior. Nothing is ever really done about it. underglows yes but anything else ive seen hasnt gotten a ticket. Discretion is a good practice with these kinds of lights. Dont use them while you are driving. unless you are doing something stupid the cop has no reason to pull you over and notice them anyway.

And to answer the OP question, I like the first ones better, that floating ring looks real stupid.

Sorry for double post
