Didn't mean it in a bad way, just it seems to be the Bling Bling big balla crowd, something you might see on ridin with flex or cribs.

sorry but if you buy spinners for a lexus you're lame and will be the laughing stock of lexus owners everywhere...

i dont think they look good on anything; i find them as tacky as LED windshield sprayers and LED valvestem caps... all i see is ghetto style; which means there is NO style or sense of it in any way...

when/if you get spinners you associate yourself with a certain crowd; and when you do ;you dont deserve to own your car anymore... sell it and get an old hooptie or a cheapass american-made SUV

whatever you like bro, you asked for opinions you got it!
i personally don't care for spinners- that initial WOW! WHAT THE HELL IS THAT! novelty has now been introduced to 15"spinning hub caps!(no b*ll*****). To me, the only place i could tolerate seeing spinners is on a show car.(maybe not even then)

You know what I saw them in a magazine. Can't remember which one but there sweet, and doesn't look like anything you would think would carry the name Davin. The ons I saw where black five spokes with a nice lip, not JDM lip, but a nice lip and sort of look like GFG five spoke wheels, with the grooves and bends. Would be perfect for a 360 Modena or Vette.


As for the spinners man get them rock them and love them if you like them. They where not high on my list but I believe alot of cheap fakes and ugly a$$ versions of spinners and the add ons really hurt there image. The minute you say spinner most people think Zab Judahs or the add ons that stick out 3inches. I have seen some that look sweet. I really like the 22 and up versions for Escalads, Denalis. The look sweet. As for luxury sport sedans, doesn't really fit the look. Its like putting on some Daytons on a Civis
.

Its funny how some of the members really rag on the spinners. You can tell most think there beneath them and if you have a set that you must lack some sort of class (If the shoe doesn't fit, don't say *****)
Reminds me of some of the Benz owners who say Lexus is a wanna be luxury car

nah its just to point out that those that like them on a Lexus have no class

i dont think it has anything to do with an owner of a POS overrated German luxury car do you?

spinners belong on hoopties; they are associated with ghettostyle... they are its very epitome... Lexus is NOT a ghetto car in any sense of the word...

No spinners IMO. For me personally, having spinners on makes you look like a little kid. On the other hand, having some NICE quality wheels for example, " GETTINS OR L-SPORTLINE MODEL 1" will make people say "Yes, he has done good with his car".

Seriously, don't get spinners man, this is a phase that everybody is going to pass up.

I think spinners look great. If you get them make sure they are no smaller than 20's, and make sure you get a quality brand such as Davin. Look forward to spending 7 to 10 grand. Good luck bro.

They are below me. I don't have gold teeth, saggy pants, money in a roll, and and speak in ebonics. They are absolutely tasteless and just some overpriced fad that screams "Look at ME!!!"

Spinners.....personally...No Way.... .....But its your car....so if you like them....Go For It!!

I remember a CL member who had spinners with his Maya DTM wheels. I believe he asked whether to keep it or remove it......well....I believe he eventually removed it.

Oh...here's the link to that thread.
