Cooper Tires diamond-encrusted wheels celebrate Formula 3 racing
For those who love pimped rides, Cooper Tires has created a very unique set of diamond-encrusted tires to commemorate 60 years of British Formula 3 racing. London jewelers, FK Diamonds has designed the bejeweled tires through a meticulous process of setting each jewel to the tires on a Cooper logo cutout in metal. The setting features a mixture of diamonds and Swarovski crystals. Below is a video by the company showing the tires in the making. The specially designed tires were shown off at the Silverstone launch of the 2011 Cooper Tire British F3 International Series.
These special edition tires will set you back a staggering £105,000 ($171,100). No word on whether the company is planning to offer customization services to its rich clientele, but if it does, there would be many takers. Remember, the gold plated cars, $2 million diamond-studded wheels and $150,000 diamond-studded knob? Rich boys love their toys!
