Hub Ads for shows...?

Saw these today on a car round my way, looked very effective!

I was thinking would look great to put them on someones car at a show branded up with fiatforum logo's.

What do you think?

if you dont know what i'm talking about, they are hub caps thaat are designed so that the middle doesn't move and displays an advert. so it doesn't matter how fast you are moving there is always an advert on show.

here is an image:

i'm not talking about having them on permanently, just for shows.

o k i better come clean, i found a set of these ad thingy's at work badged up for europcar/the aa i didn't know what they were so asked my manager who said they have been sitting there for months waiting to be chucked..




so i chucked them... in my boot...

these retail for £250!! i mean who would pay that!! really... but all i have to do is get some stickers made up with the ff logo and find someone with 1" steelies...

job done...

worst comes to worst we can just cabletie them on to any wheels... i just thought they are quite car forum friendly advertising...

the poll was just incase people thought they were tacky...

ok well thats not too important, as there willl always be different cars there anyway.

what is important is the stickers/vinyl.

We need 4x Circles of 298mm diameter so if anyone knows of anywhere that can get us a decent looking logo printed on something that sized (idely vinyl)

then let me know.
