Spend the money for an extra 40hp and an all wheel drive car

I've seen some spinners on S class that looked great. I think spinners should go fine on larger cars since the rims are usually huge. C class? Probly overkill.
There are too many spinners and I think it's a fad that's getting old. I think polished (not chrome) is the look of the next few years. Subtle and classy.

Spiners Horse Power Gain

You and Mr. HITMAN were "correct" on your statements... that is depending on the point of view (circumstantial data).
At a stand still, nothing moving (not spinning) the car will be actually be slower due to the fact of the additional weight (centrifugal forces and other lingo as well
). Depending on the design, configuration and type (only certain type), at certain speed; when the spiners are actually "spinning", there should be enough enegry to possibly produce about 10hp on a 23' wheel... (my math failed me there.. I think I messed it up and the diameter is 20' for a max of 10hp gain at 80mph... one of you that has his phisics formulas more a tune re-verify (motion WITH gravity... if you use the standard formula which is set up in vacum, you end up with way more power)Cheers!

The problem with the standard formula in this case is that it fails to consider the fact that at a stop light(standing) the spinners must all keep spinning thus building up energy which would be translated into horsepower at take off. That is where the extra 40 hp is achieved on this all wheel drive

I ordered gucci fabric, for a interior upholstery, plus im installing to sunvisor lcd's 6" a custom fiber glass dash with a 8" flat screen mounted into it, touch panel Rosen navigation, and neon wires around the dash. Finally, i retinted all my windows to 15" all around including windshiled. i cant wait until this project is done, i already have a 5000$ system, which includes 2 10"w7, 3 1000 watt phoenix gold amps, boston acoustic 3 way 6.5 series.. i will definitely post pictures of my renevated C class.. please check it out by may 7th. thank you! if you have any questions please let me know.

it dawned on me when i read his sig a min ago on first page that I think this is the same fool that posted a while back about putting 20"s on his coupe.... he has the lame *** sig....... NIDJA wit ... blah blah.....
Means it's either a troll or a punk kid, either way a waste of useable oxygen. Anyone else remember or care to use the search function?
me too lazy right now.....
EDIT: here is the link about him talking all the **** about his new spinners.....

In addition, I was hoping to ask a series of stupid questions that could easily be answered if I chose to read the effing owners manual or even used the search feature ( but i think i have that one down). Finally, maybe one day I too can be "big gimping" and buy me a set of spinners... yo yo.
