Newest wheel fad

what wheels? i was more interested in the blonde. :rofl

oh... to get back to your question, hopefully never! :D
 
:eek: 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'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?
 
I think mainly the choice of colors, as I think there is some limits on using blue and red on exterior lights of a car that isn't for law enforcement?



Also the fact that it's plain distracting.. this is no different than the idiot playing porn on the 8 LCDs in his SUV.

No problem.



Neon windshield nozzles, neon exhaust tips, neon underbody lights and lighted tire caps are all considered to be objects that will get you pulled over around here. This is especially true when the colors represent law enforcement.



I just feel that this would really be stretching legality as it would be a great distraction to other drivers on the road.

The law enforcement problem with neon and it's placement in relation to license plates is that certain placement will make the plates unreadable. That's likely the reason why some are getting "yanked" and likely cited.



These wheels are only visible from the side and I have never seen someone pulled over by a vehicle that was traveling sideways.:)

If I recall correctly - Any neon light that can be seen while driving is illegal.

Funny, I was answering that as you responded.



EDIT: The wheels aren't neon anyways, they're LED's.
 
I'm sure they could nab you with this:



---------------

RS 32:327



§309. Color of clearance lamps, identification lamps, side marker lamps, backup lamps and reflectors



A. Front clearance lamps, identification lamps and those marker lamps and reflectors on the front or on the side near the front of a vehicle shall display or reflect an amber color.



B. Rear clearance lamps, identification lamps and those marker lamps and reflectors mounted on the rear or on the sides near the rear of a vehicle shall display or reflect a red color.



C. All lighting devices and reflectors mounted on the rear of any vehicle shall display or reflect a red color, except the stop light, which must be red, or other signal device, which may be red, amber or yellow, and except that the light illuminating the license plate shall be white and the light emitted by a backup lamp shall be white.



Acts 1962, No. 310, §1. Amended by Acts 1974, No. 292, §1.

---------------



I couldn't find an exact law that would determine the legality however I do know what they started cracking down on in the area and personally feel they would not be acceptable around here.



From what I read on other boards regarding the stricter laws of California, and that being your location, I am surprised that this would be acceptable in the state. They seem to be very strict regarding vehicle modifications on any level compared to the enforcement here in Louisiana.
