Good grief, that's depressing...
...and wouldn't that little wand thingy totally muck up the wheel balance?

Wheel balance being mucked up on an F1 car.... OMG! I think it looks good actually, but then I'm a Technophile!
Regarding Balancing:
TireTagz TM have been shown NOT to imbalance wheels as their design is such that all the weight of the unit is placed firmly within the centre of the
wheel. TireTagz has been tested at speeds in excess of 100 mph+ and did not affect the handling of the test vehicle.
No price as yet either... should be extortionate! Expect many Car Headsets, gold chains, gold bracelets and eye jewelry on the market soon at all
major Chav outlets!
If you click on the gallery - most of the pictures were taken at the "Max Power" show - this is one such like picture from the gallery
Mind you - this is another: NOT WORK SAFE and another:

Did a quick Google - they cost around $80 a set... but wait for it... an additional $6 a time if you want to download a different pattern from the
ones it came with.
What's the betting that it'll be £80 a set over here, using the typical US import exchange rate.

but you can design your own displays - how about a nice glowing 7 logo, or maybe even 'Locostbuilders' around your rims ?

As they're selling the designs, I'd guess that they may have made it a bit difficult to crack the code.
Mind you, considering the talent we have on this forum...

It actually talks on the site about the ability to design your own......
here
basically you design your own and upload to the website who encode it and then you have to purchase it back - so I guess that you probably could
'hack' the code for it.....

Nothing new, and must work in a race situation, cos about 5 or so years ago, Toyota ran them in the CART series for a year.
As the wheels went around, the words TOYOTA could be seen.
