I saw spinners on a fucking Honda last week driving into the K-Mart...

Thats when you know spinners are played out and just plain cheesy.

no way..

Besides its been raining here in Portland and the Navi is all fuckin dirtyed up and in the garage..

I was driving up from Ventura and saw an early 90's crappy minivan with spinners. I just about died laughing.

those aren't spinners.

they're supposed to make the car look like it's still moving when it's come to a stop and be all cool looking.

i personally think they're quite lame.

and, generally speaking i think it's fairly dumb to put wheels several inches oversized on a 4wd, then 35 series racing tires. defeats the entire purpose of buying a 4wd.

and you my friend is what we call a redneck.

i prefer the term "hick", not really a redneck.

nah, i admit some of those look fairly decent. but, there are 2 things i have wrong with it:

first off, those tires generally ride like shit. if i'm going to spend $50k on an suv, i want the fucker to ride nice like it was intended. i drive a lowered truck, and the ride quality is downright sickening (and it's NOT 4wd - but it does have normal tires on it).

second, if i'm buying a 4wd, i'm buying it for a purpose. if i want to go flying through a snow drift or play in the mud, i don't want to have to worry about my z-rated race tires getting me stuck.

:)

4wd isn't just for rednecks... it snows a lot where i live. you have to have 4wd if you want to leave your house in the winter...

im just fuckin with ya.

Its late..

Its hard to 4 wheel out with mountain tires and shit on your Luxury Esclade or Lexus.. Actually makes it look worse..

I swear they shouldnt call these particualr models "SUV's"..

They should call em something like Huge Road Luxury Vehicles..

No way I could see these things off roading.

They just arent made for it. They are made to look good on the road for 60k..

Plain and simple.

Want something more rugged looking, get a 4 runner

Think of these things as womens shoes...

Esclade being a women's Heeled Boot.
Its called a boot yes, but a far difference from the same boot youd wear kicking the shit out in the barn..

The boots a lady wears to the club is gunna be different from the "boot" theyd wear out in the garden..

You cant expect that same boot to do both..
Two different animals.

You just dont buy a 60k Esclade to do off roading and mountain driving..

Its used for lookin nice in the city..

And you dont drive around a 4 runner with mountain tires to drop you off at the Valet of the hot club on a strip hoping to look good either.

Two different beasts.

Those are pimp chrome wheels :thumbsup

50 spinning k mart wheels

lol, yeah, i hear ya man. but why make them 4wd and get 7 gallons per mile? lol. it's like the off-roading commercials they make for the rav4, a joke :)

some suv's look nice that way, and they're definitely not meant for off-roading. and you're right, most of them would look rather hideous with mud tires :)

i'd probably never own something like an escalade or lexus suv. the only suv i've ever really owned was a fairly nice mid-70's 3/4 ton full-time 4wd blazer with 32's. but it went through about 10 gallons of fuel on a normal to-work-and-back day :)

about as luxury as i think i'd get is a 4runner or a trailblazer (both seem to be a good mix of comfort and off-roadability) with an suv.

i'll save my 'fancy car' money for a porsche tt convertible :)

I can't beleive nobody has posted a picture of the whoo woooo guy yet...

Which is why they invented sports cars and sedans. :)

dis is mad wicked westside white boi yo, shit rox u, ballin out yo motherfuckin ass what up dawg

Better known as "a waste of fucking money".

spinners are fucking stupid. I saw a navigator the other day with them... he was sitting at a light and his fucking wheels spinning away... wrecked the car IMO

For once i agree with Amp...those things simply retarded.

I can see little kids liking those things, its shiny and it moves but full grown people having those wheels shouldnt be taken seriously. I saw it once in Holland on a Volkswagen...the little gangsta inside probably had no clue how ridiculous it looks.

I see them a lot on MTV cribs and all those guys act like it is some classy thing because its expensive.
Well let me tell you, its far from classy.

The Dutch will never understand.

I dont like spinners but the escalade looks nice.

btw: those are'nt spinners.

If it floats thier boat then it's kewl with me. Live and let live is what I think. :2 cents:

yes.... they are.

(see above post)

i see a hummer with spinners every day.

spinners don't have the lugs showing.

Notice the lugnuts showing :thumbsup

People that crave attention will put anything on there cars. Like a little kid putting baseball cards in his bike spokes.

I love the spinners. getting them installed on my tricycle next week. I am crunked!

let the kids have their fun. when they are 40 years old and working at Mc Donalds they will regret spending every dime on their shitty little Honda (which they will still own).

Those are not spinners..

Just 24 inch chromes.

If there were spinners these little thiings would be installed on top of the chromes..

<img src="http://www317.pair.com/customw/catalog/images/smoothspin.jpg">

and that would indeed be ugly.

Anyone else notice the Hummer has street tires on one side and mud tires on the other? photoshop? or just an confused redneck?

You guys are posting the add ons.

Only Davin makes the REAL "spinners"

And they run about $8,000-12,000 per set



Don't be fooled by that ghetto shit most of these clowns have!

Don't hate!!

Chicks dig them!

i will catch flame for this

but spinners are fuckin tight
then again i admittedly have no class

for exactly the reasons stated
big shiny and they move
i wont put them on my car unless a more economic version presents itself
im a baller on a budget

we went shooting over thanksgiving in arizona. took my buddy's 4 runner a couple hours east of phx up into the mountaints. Ended up going shooting
at reclaim pit. HUGE rocks, a couple thousand feet of them. 4 runner ruled through that. Wouldn't do it at speed though...esp with 30+ semi auto rifles and a few thousand rounds.

(if anyone is interested I got the lat lon while I was there. Its sorta out of the way, but apparently its cool to shoot there. )

spinners were a very unique concept when they first came out. i like them, i would not pay the retail price for them seeing as how the "real spreewells" cost about 5k per wheel and that in itself is another car. i like the rims though, they make a vehicle stand out even more and really do turn heads. oh yea and to answer the question they became popular by when latrell sprewell was showing off his lambo and spun the wheels(some black guy in NY actually came up with the concept for the spinning rim but sprewell was the spokes person somewhat so that is why they are dubbed spreewells). haven't met any young people who don't like them, has anyone who responded to this thread saying they don't like them under 28?
AMP that escalade that you posted doesn't have spinners on it, they look like 23''s or 24''s.

LOL do they spin?

thats clean

i think they're a waste of $. if you got that much $ to waste their cool but the kind of people that have them are the type to break their back just so they can save enough $ up for them.

oh yeah the thing thats even more stupid is when kids stop at a light and speed up like 3 feet and slam on the breaks just to get their wheels to spin, i cant help but laugh at them.
