San Antonio is full of that crap. $4K worth of rims on a $500 car. Nothing like a Geo Metro with 24" tires. Oh yeah. Chicks dig you.

Spinners............

Do you prefer them spinning while the vehicle is stopped OR stopped while the vehicle is moving??
I'm really thinking about getting (renting) a set for my old Wagoneer. I just need to find some with holes for the front hubs to fit through
I prefer them spinning of the car and into a ditch. Spend your money on your GAS instead
beautiful and functional
I had various BBS rims on my autocross cars. They don't survive hitting a cone, let alone the riggers for 4 wheeling.
Guys, I was kidding and if I wasn't, I would need heavy duty offroad spinners
Right now the Wagoneer is getting a full brake job, new everything including axle seals, stainless lines, etc., etc. I was hoping to have a lift kit installed at the same time, then some wheels/tires. I just found out this morning via Email that the lift kit will be 4-6 weeks out. So, that part of the project is on hold 
I'll be sticking with my stock wheels for now :
It's probably one of the biggest "look at me" wastes of money I've seen. Might as well get "lambo doors" that only go up 45 degrees, fake vents that are obviously applied with 3m double sided sticky tape on the fender, a stereo that can only produce bass and treble frequencies(my dog loves those!), a leopard print steering wheel cover, candy paint(applied from a spray can directly over rippled bondo), and tint so dark you can't even see out. If you have any outstanding body work and engine problems, don't worry about that stuff just yet.
Half the spinner wheels are big pieces of crap anyways with a HUGE markup. My brother-in-law works at a wheel/tire shop and he just loves selling those things. We're talking $800 sets of rims selling for $2000-3000. Nice profit. And in six months, when the spinners stop working right, you'll be stuck with some pretty ******** looking cheapass wheels.
You talkin' 'bout my ride?!?
BTW, I love the nerf bars![Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
Go Wagoneer all the way!
Where I go with my Waggy, those wheels wouldn't last 5 minutes!!
And I'm not talking about cruising through the hood 
These two are the best in the world, they'll be expensive; but they'd enhance the aesthetics of anyone's magnificent automobile...

When I was a lad the local bike shop would always give you these cool streamers when you bought a new bike.

I always thought the spinners were kind of annoying at the Dead shows. They were straight up menacing if you had a beer in your hand. Luckily I didn't drink very much beer when I saw the Dead.

I like them spinning when the car is stopped. But only if they're polished to a shine. I really like shiney things.
i like it when one will be spinning rediculously fast and one not moving at all or just really slow. that's hilarious to me.
