Floating Rims?

When I was little the warner brothers thought that it was a good idea to put Val Kilmer in the bat mobile - the one awesome thing that they did, thus my question:

is it possible (and if so, how much) would it be to get "Floating Rims" - that being that the wheel will spin, but the "emblem" in the middle wont move - they did a wicked Batman symbol on the bat mobile and it rocked - i was just wondering how to do that in real life - i saw some rapper had it on MTV Cribs - which is discouraging - that means its prolly expensive.

any ideas?

if its only the emblem that floats, i say go for it.

but if its the dubby kind of floaters that leaves an entire second wheel not moving, i doubt it will look good on the TL.

When you first said floating rims i thought you meant these: $2000 each. I hope they come with someone to clean them after every drive!

yeah, just the emblem - i like the way black rims look when spinning, so i wouldnt want to get rid of that - but how sweet would it be - and some would maybe say ricey, but id be willing to try it - but get the Floating A with a white LED background glowing on the inside of it - oh lawd i think that would be hot! thats just my
