They seem to be becoming more and more popular round the hood. Mostly on Drug dealers' Escalades and NAvigators. Other than that I see them sometimes on older SUV's owned by thug wannabe's who could only afford to drop all that cash on rims cause they live with Mommy. It's kinda retarded lookin actually... 1 thousand dollar 89 Jeep Cherokee sittin on what must be 5 thousand dollar rims. Anybody here priced anything like that for their Fords? What prices have you found? You finding them too gaudy or ghetto lookin or do you think it's tasteful?

 

I think they look kinda cool, but would never put them on my truck. Even if I wanted some, that kind of cash outlay for wheels can not happen (my marriage document says so).

 

I'm not familiar with them...do you have a pic or link or something that shows what they are? Sounds like something I wouldn't put on my truck but would just like to know. Thanks,

Mike

 

we have a customer at work that has spinners on his crown victoria and those things are sweet lookin.they make kits that you can apply to some rims so you can make em spinners.just like three 6 mafia said.........."ridin spinners" i would put them on my 50 but one problem........$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

Depends on their design if I like them or not. Most of them I don't care for but theres some that are kickin

 

can you say HUGE wheel balance problems? of course if you are creepin' I guess it wouldnt' matter, at least until you actually do the drive by...

 

Actually the spinners go on after the wheels are balanced, we have done a handful of Navigators at work with them.

 

In retort,

So tell me, are they balanced after you attach that throwing star to the wheel? Hmmm, heh hmmm?

Doubtful, but...
The solution would be:
First, to ensure the "spinners" are on center with the axle, and centered on axis (x and y) with the wheel. These parameters, presumably, are in most situations, correct.
Second, these "spinners" would need to be balanced independantly of the wheel.
If this is done, they would look cool(opinion) and would not adversely affect wheel balance...
Something tells me this balancing does not happen, does it?
If the balance is done either without the wheel "spinner" attached, or balanced as one unit; when the wheel and the "spinner become asynchronous, the wheel will be out of balance.
And the presumed quality (selling point) of the wheel is just that, a "spinner."

"Wheeee!!!"

That is all I have to say, I am now going to go tighten the spokes on my "dayton's"

 

>>>>>>>Wheels that keep turning while the truck stops?
who knows where i can buy wheels like this??????
please send me an internet address/ homepage of it.....
thx to all who sends me!!!!!

 

Looking from afar they're nifty, checking in up close they look kinda gay..

 

Interesting... mine had that text written in as well. I think it's a conspiracy. LOL!

They are called spinners. I have seen lots in magazines like truckin' and sport truck. The spinners run around $1500 each!!!

Expensive, don't ya think?!?! I think you have to have the right design for them to look good. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any with the right design!

I think they cost wayyyy too much for my taste! Now if someone was to give them to me..

 

Spinners are SWEET!! They dont give any problems as far as balancing goes. I have ridin in a Tahoe with 24" spinners and it drove as smoothe as a cadillac!! I want to get some on my ride, but my wife doesnt want to look like she married a rapper.

Those things just look freaking gaudy to me. There is now way that I would ever put anything like that on any vehicle that I own.
