Because they look like the blade part in the "Salad Shooter" chopper that chops up veggies.

I wish I had taken pictures on my project. I wanted black rims at a discount price but I hate shooters. So I bought alloy rims off a 98, sprayed them black and had a striper I know do the lips and emblems. (sorrry for the small picture, ill try to use a better camera next time)

I don't currently have the caps on them. I am doing some experimenting deciding how exactly I want them.
