After the release of such movies as "Fast and the Furious", "Torque", "Biker Boyz" & "2 Fast, 2 Furious" the already booming car customization industry/trend received a much awaited push into overdrive.
With the release of such movies, a new market was created where young adults and adolescents tend to invest money on their cars to make them more flashy and attention-grabbing.
The wheel lights project does just that. It draws attention to your vehicle by projecting beams of light from behind the car's wheel. The lights are stationary, which gives onlookers an intricate light show of reflections.
