I've always wondered since I saw those spinners for the first time

I am not sure how the spinners are mounted, but I wonder how long they last. After all, it's spinning while moving and spinning while stationary. Since most of them are blades so it can be deadly if it ever flew off....

BTW, I even saw a spinning hub cap today. The spinners might be reaching the end of their fashion cycle?

I laugh everytime I see some.

And aren't spinners like $6 grand? Dude, get some HRE's or a Forged wheel!

If you want something to spin on your car, attach a pinwheel to your trunk. Colorful!

The price has dropped. You can get them as low as $3-4K even lower if you look hard enough.

I hate chrome to start off with...these are just so much worse.

2014 Sport White on black
Yeah I saw some spinners on a C-class (probably C24/320) in San Diego. He stopped on the other side of the street and he looked at me like he was the man. All I could do was laugh out loud. I also saw a Jaguar convertable with 18/19 inch spinners. Both cars are very stylish but with the rims on them it looks so tacky and loses any style points and tarnishes the cars' reps.

05 Navigator
It is not really the wheels anymore that are expensive, it is the tires. I was at a car show and so a 2003 Lincoln Navigator on 24" spinning rims. He said he payed $6000 just for tires. The navigator did look mean though.

As long as someone isn't "Begging" me for a loan for spinners, they can put whatever on their cars.

Hey tommy, should I chime in...

Inside joke, but today I drove (with Tommy) my friends GS400 with 20 or 22" Spinners...MSRP of $8,000 without tires. It was fun because everyone looked at the car while I was driving it...but I would never put them on my car. What a day.

Although, the look on Tommy's face was priceless...he was like...this is your car? You hate chrome.
