ABSTRACT:
An automotive vehicle having at least one rotatable wheel, the wheel having light reflective surface means thereon, a light source mounted to the vehicle, first fixed light transmission means operatively associated with the light source adapted to receive light from the source and transmit the light to a position proximate to, but spaced from, a rotatable mount wheel, second light transmission means operatively mounted to and rotatable with the wheel mount, the first and second light transmission means respectively having light emitting and receiving terminal end means, the light emitting and receiving end means on the respective first and second light transmission means consisting of discrete separate sets, disposed in spaced relationship from one another, and adapted to transmit light therebetween as the wheel rotates with respect to the vehicle, second light ray emitting terminal end means on the second light transmission means, remote from the first terminal end means thereon, and operable upon rotation of the wheel with respect to the vehicle to direct emitted light rays onto the reflective surface means on the wheel and thereby produce a resultant aesthetically pleasing visual light illumination effect from the reflective surface means on the wheel, the light transmission means including fiber optic light guides portions.
