These wheels have EYES

Hello -

Found this :

Googly-Eyed Drunken VW Beetle Pushes Anti-Drunk Driving Message


Quote:
What we do know is the campaign puts cleverly designed blood-shot googly eye hubcaps on the fleet of VW Beetles piloted around large events, reminding imbibers to stay away from the steering wheel. But since the language on the side is English, it must be the Englsh speakers at German events causing all the trouble. Darn those Anglophiles
We gotta figure out how they mounted it. Maybe just snap-in racing disks?!?!?

YKYAEMW: The only appeal you see in a car used for an anti-drunk campaign is the wheel covers


They're probably steelies with the 'eyes' as the hubcaps

That's just creepy.... although I applaud the innovative way of getting the message across!

I agree, steel rims with hubcaps. Secure and fairly cheap.

My wife would kill me, I want a set !
