I am yet to see these wheels on the road anywhere. I have seen them on TV a few times.

These wheels are 2 parts, they have the standard "rim" then they have a separate top rim part that spins at it's own speed depending on how fast and how long you were driving. They sure look awesome when your car is stopped at a light and the rims give the effect that your wheels are still spinning.

Movies of the wheels in action are here.

I see those on cars here in New Orleans all the time . And no, they are not awesome, they are cheesy.

There are definitely some garish rims out there; it's amazing what people will buy because they think it looks cool. The trick is actually finding a wheel that accentuates the look of the vehicle without looking ghetto. That's very hard to do.

Exactly. A good looking rim can suddenly look like crap when you put it in your car. But it seems like most people don't have eye for that stuff...

oh and btw, those things are fugly.
