If you know I’ll do a story on Flickr photos on sneakers, then you should know I’ll do a story on Flickr photos on shoes aka rims aka Wheels of Fortune.
There are 296 Members and about 1,160 photos in this group. It doesn’t have a total focus on car rims, but it a nice mixture of all types of wheels. Its a very nice take on whatever is round.
Here is what the group is about:
For wheels like Car wheels, truck wheels, tractor wheels, forklift wheels, train wheels, toy wheels, bicycle wheels, ferris wheels, motorcycle wheels, antique, rubber, steel, metal, stone, plastic, dolly wheels. Steering wheels accepted too.
Only wheels-not things that could be wheels and ABSOLUTELY NO gambling/casino wheels
If you want some wheels from whips, check out Photomechanica from the group. If that is not good enough, check out MR38 and for some stuff too. robert lz is good for some shots as well. Toni Carcole did this one:

TIS™ /// Twenty Inches Strong
First of what I hope will be a huge pattern. Wallpapers, desktop objects and useful widgets is what I plan on bringing to you guys. There are many wallpapers on the Twenty Inches Strong website including this one (1024×768). They have other sizes, just go to the site to get them.
Here are some more examples of what I wanna do: (more…)

The new T.I.S. 11′s looking sweet. I don’t know what car it would look good with just yet, but it still looks good. Check out the other ‘colors’ of the set.
Maybe it would work with a Maserati? Since the shoes look like spider webs and the Quaddropotte… I’ll spell check that later… is part of some sort of contest at McDonalds or something with Spider-Man… well, I remember the car part. All black. Sweet!
Transformers Update: TONS of pics and Prime’s lips – Autoblog
Transformers Update: TONS of pics and Prime’s lips – Autoblog
Movie coming out in July… but just in case you want to see more pics and links to even more pics, I posted this link for you here above. What is this about Optimius Primes lips you say? since the movie is based off of Transformers Generation 1, people think that a main character like Prime should be more like what he was on tv as a cartoon. He had a face plate over his mouth.
I do want it to be as close to the original as possible, but lets face it, they have to deal with real life issues. For example, getting permission from auto makers to use their car or truck for the movie. I think the real reason why BumbleBee is a Camaro is because VW doesn’t want its car associated with the show (unless well… all the cars and trucks are VW)
I am sure other automakers had demands if their vehicel make was used.
And Megatron??? originally he was a gun. Even HASBRO doesn’t remake him as a gun when they re-released Gen 1 toys. to this day the Megatron original gun is a huge collectible. There is no way they are going to make a toy gun that actually looks like a gun. believe me when I say that the original release look exactly like a real gun. You could pistol whip someone wih the handle because it was so hard… literally.
So some changes are to be expected. When the movie becomes a mega hit, then car makers wil do whatever the movie makers want. I am sure Prime and megatron will come back as what they were in this movie, but makybe Bumblebee, ratchet and a few others will be a little different.
