    Now this is just my thoughts, and don't be put off... but the first time I saw them was on a crap ford escort, and I laughed. I don't get the attraction. Whats so good about your wheels apparently still turning when they arn't? Don't you think it's a bit cheesy? Why not spend the cash on a really sweet set of alloys, chromed, and get some really decent rubber on them.

    i dont know why i just read it in one of my motorbike mags after a guy asked what they were after doing an emergency stop thinking the person at the junction was pulling out in front of him when they were actualy stationary he said he felt like a right tw@t once he relised that the car wasnt moving heh heh

    Phoned Flux the day, they will insure them but at a hefty cost. The operator said he didnt know if they'd pass an MOT he told me to call a MOT center to be certain. Starting to go off the idea now anyway :)
