I see law enforcement having a very hard time allowing these to pass.

Spinners were one thing but this is certainly over the top.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!

No way these are going to be legal.. they're too distracting to be allowed on public roads, so that sort of kills the point of them if you can't be moving at a fairly fast speed to show off the crap you have your wheels set to.

That's something I never even thought about seeing...kinda cool, but I doubt DOT will let anything like that go.

Interesting...I remember seeing something like this on a car show I watched before. Would be pretty cool for someone who has a modded show car perhaps? Will probably get the stamp of "For show use only"...which means we will be seeing green and pink wheels flying down the highway from all those people don't give a rip about the DOT - - It'll be interesting to follow

I see the headline now:

Carshow spectators die when vehicle lunges off of jack stands.

Contestant states: "I wuz 'jus tryin' to sho off my new wheelz yo! Dey fly aint dey?"

I'm not taking a position of liking these at all but I have a question for those that seem to think that these would be illegal. On what grounds do you think that they would be illegal?
