Default Wheel that spins!!!

I saw a truck with a set of these wheels (the ones that still spins even when you're stopped) - all I can think was "wow, someone actually wants to be seen riding on these" - these are hideous.

yeah they are not meant for cars. I was at a show and was spinning one on a SUV. I was trying to see how fast I can make it spin, It was fun until the owner saw me.

yeah, that is one of the lamest things I've seen invented in my lifetime...but ghetto folks like 'em...

Have you guys seen the "add-on" spinners? The ones that aren't even centered correctly so they "wobble" when they spin...I saw a new BMW 745i with those with some cheezy looking guy driving it thinking he was the shiznit with his cheap *** spinners Once again proving Money does NOT equal taste.

That and neon underbody lighting and lit windshield wiper squirters...and those "tire flies"...chrome fender trim is up there too...

i guess a showcar would actually be a good place for spinners, and the only place.

spinning it as fast as possible...funny

spinning wheels make a good target...I can imagine it would be challange to shoot the actual wheel without hitting the spinner (while it's spinning of course) at around 500 yards...gotta have some damn good timing...

I saw a guy during the NBA all star game with the XXX spinners (Sprewell knock offs) and he gave me such a look of superiorty. LOL. At wheelmax, you can get 20" spinning wheels for 1200. So now, you don't even need the money. In Atlanta, they throw em on old Caprices to Benzs.

Yes,

What about the cars with tires so thin, they look like bicycle tires.. Almost like riding on the rim.. That is also wild.

I think the spinning wheels are pretty tight on SUV'S only, they have to be big and not showing 2 much rim.
