I saw a guy cruising down 270 in columbus who had some sort of LED setup in his wheels, so when he drove the very outside of the wheel (just before the tire started) had lights which formed a circle, but they were recessed in the wheel. It looked pretty cool when he was driving, if I had some nice(er) wheels on my car, I'd think about it...

I have seen valve stem caps with LED's in them. Don't know the company that makes them. Could that have been it?

RICE? IMO no. THe lights look really cool. Especially on rare cars like ours. I have the red lights on my washer fluid heads and on my tires. Many compliments. A cop pulled me over to say my car looked good. Then pretended to give me a warning so his partner would get off his back. Those who think it looks ricey are entitled to their opinions but as soon as I can post a pic of my car, you'll see how mean it looks with just the parking lights on. But of course, thats just my opinion. 
I know the SVT is a bad A$$ car, but you don't have to follow me home just to tell me.
I know.

That's too much. The tire lights look cool at night. Unless someone is in to cars, they dont know what kind of car we have. Our cars are unique so with a few extra lights, they look even more unique. Not alot of folks have lights on their cars. Well, not where I live.
Nebaukanezzer, I only put them on when I go out at night. I dont keep em on all the time. I take em off when I park too. Kinda a hastle but they look really cool when I'm driving fast.

Sorry if this sounds stupid, but if these lights go on the valve stems, how do you get power to them?? I mean, the wheel is spinning so there can't be any wires going to them?  I understand if the car isn't moving, but can't see how they would light up while the wheel is spinning?? Anyways, I it think it sound kinda cool!
