• Scrapping a Porsche? Build a PC! [Novelties]

  Heaven forbid a Porsche Cayenne would ever have to be parted out, but if so, here's one way to make use of the 18-inch wheel shell. The creation was made as part of hardware manufacturer NVIDIA's computer case modding contest for Top Mods, a computer modding publication. galleryPost('nvidiawheelmod', 6, 'Porsche Cayenne Wheel Shell PC Mod'); A custom-made acrylic disc brake is also used to give NVIDIA's SLI branding a little love and the two exhaust pipes do function for the PC's radiator, which assists in the water cooling. The green glow is a bit too teenage-tuner for our likes, but maybe if the wheel shell was from a 1999 Honda CRX.

• Aftermarket: Way to Ruin Hello Kitty...Again

  So, we saw this a couple of days ago, but we've been taking some time to ponder our response to these aftermarket Hello Kitty wheels . Since one of us is a big Hello Kitty fan, people are always sending me links to all things HK, along with messages that say things like, "look how cute!" or, "I bet you'd love this!" The fact of the matter is, no, I do not like most of them. Sure enough, I got a similar message today when Kitty Hell posted a photo of the latest item to be butchered: A set of Hello Kitty wheels. Why do I feel this way? The same reason I don't like knockoff Gucci sunglasses, or BMW's recent "car in every garage" marketing strategy, or the Porsche Boxster, or overexposed couture logos on $10 tee shirts. Mass merchandising cheapens a brand. Would we hold Koenigsegg or Bugatti in the same esteem if those companies were producing watered-down, entry-level versions within the reach of the unwashed masses? It's not just about availability or price, either. It's mostly comes right... Posted Oct 05 2007, 02:30 AM by Jalopnik Filed under: Commentary, Aftermarket, Hello Kitty, Rims, Wheels
