Hublites at the Chicago Auto Show

Anyone here getting to attend the Chicago Auto show this week take a look at the"Hublites" on display. It is claimed they will fit any snap in center cap and come in various colors and are remote control operaed. Some are battery operated and one even comes with self power generation as the wheels turn. Take a look at their website ( www.Hublites.com ) and then track them down at the Chicago Auto Show. Curious which of these might work with the wheels that come standard with various Mercedes models.

I agree with Luke-

fits in with the cards-in-the-spokes school of styling.

I disagree

I disagree

I think that they fit in pretty well with the grille and under vehicle lighting trend.

I saw them on the American Racing Show car at SEMA, and I spoke to Hoppy Hopkins, the designer of the Hopster style of wheels for American racing, and he was very impressed with how they accented the car.
