Wheels??

I saw a CL (I think) today stopped at a light. At least it had the MBz emblem in the grill. The car was stopped but the wheels appeared to be going about 30 mph.
Obviously, the tires and rims were not really turning but somehow the rims had the spokes turning rapidly. I could not see what type of wheel they were as they were spinning but they looked something like AMG wheels.

What the heck did I see? How is that done? Is this a common thing and I just haven't seen it before?

That price may explain why I have never seen them before.

Spinning rims are kind of old now. I like rims but those were never to my liking. I hear Omega has a 26 inch rim with diamonds in it. Wonder how much that will cost?

BTW, bmms8, I was in your town this week. Had a conference in Monterrey on Sun/Mon/Tues and flew down to SD on Thursday with the family. Went to Legoland for my son and got rained out on Friday, but had a nice time...

LD and Drew are awesome players. I live a block away from Fieldy from Korn. It's funny seeing him drive around in his convertible white Rolls...on 20" wire wheels....our neighborhood is a very quite Laguna Niguel town, and Fieldy definitely adds some flavor to it.
