*YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS LEATHER WHEEL!!*

My friend was looking through the net for pics of cars and rims and came across this. A LEATHER WRAPPED WEEL!! This is from a Porsche and it is wrapped to match the leather inside. I'm not saying I like them but I don't dislike them either!(No pics of them on the car that would of been nice to see!)

Interesting concept. I mean, there's no way you could drive on those, but for a show vehicle that just sits inside of a convention center or something....
