what's the deal with the oversized spinning wheels?
 

I must have missed something along the way.... why exactly are these things supposed to be cool? They look really retarded.

I agree. Luckily we don't see them too much out here.

.....misunderstood

Spinners?

I like em but at $1500.00 a pop...
Phuck that.
Not to mention in LA its a choice item to tag off a car!

I agree. Retarded looking and what statement is someone with them trying to make? I'm a rich mofo and even my wheelz got bling.

Complete waste of money.

saw a hummer with spinners in LA hahaha. think i've got a photo somewhere.

lamest fucking shit to grace a vehicle in a very long time.

worse than the wing mania.

People with those rims are usually attention whores.

Nah I think Neon's.

Wait...
I like Neons to...

I may as well bug out of this thread!

ghetto.

Spinners are so fucking queer.

They are pretty fucking annoying. I sure wouldn;t mind if I never had to see another set again.

Hell.. I've got 10's, but I keep em' clean!

I got Enki's.

Oh well...

dont knock it till you try it, dawg :winkwink:

how about, "don't knock it till you see it, dawg."

i mean, come on... this is just gay.

WOuld you rather a car drive down your street with spinners or the whistles that go whooooooo-whoooooooooooo?

well?

neither.

and no big ass airplane wings bolted to the trunk lid, no curb feelers, no R-Type stickers or bad tint jobs, no Eminem booming at 400 db, no glowing lights underneath.... none of that retardedness.

I'd go with whistles that go whooooooo-whoooooooooooo :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
But dats only in da mornin'. :1orglaugh

imagine if soccer moms everywhere started doing this kind of shit to their minivans.... Q.) how stupid would that be? A.) Just as stupid as the idiots already doing it.

Not too bad actually if it were normal rims, I hate those spinning things. Guess it is just a case of showing how much bling you have, check out mtv cribs lol

Makes the brakes look so piddly :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

LOL! A neighbor has *all* of the accessories on his *Nissan 240SX* (no shit). HUGE spoiler, custom underbody fiberglass, fiberglass side-panel molding to add rear-brake vents and no door handle, huge ram-air hood, hood pins, coffee can exhaust tips, etc. We're talking about what must be over $4,000 in mods.

The sad thing is that the owner can't afford to paint over the primer, nor can he afford any engine mods at all :1orglaugh (not that you'd want any on that car).

Oh yeah, and he has chrome spinners... on the front wheels only. He's probably saving up for the rear ones.

Actually, 240sx's make wicked budget track cars, and are heavily modified and raced in Japan. The japanese motor came with a turbo from the factory, and can hold a decent amount of power, so a lot of people import those and swap them in. The car has 50/50 weight distribution, is RWD, and handles great.

But yeah, that particular car sounds like a pile of shit :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Yeah, they're fucking lame. On Oahu those asian cars are everywhere, the ones with all the fucking body add-ons and shit. Like $5,000 worth of hop-ups on a car thats worth like $8,000. And those stupid mufflers that are the size of a coffee can. Lame.

I laugh everytime I see the spinners. what a joke

I saw one a while ago over in the Costco parking lot here... same story. Hopped up fiberglassed hunk of crap, half primered, probably unable to afford paint, yet it had the full homeboy package racing r-type stickers and shit all over it... lol

Have you ever noticed that most of them have 5 point roll cages and one of those huge tachometers mounted on the dash? Why the hell would you need one of those huge racing tachs for a 4 banger? It is amusing though.

Interesting; I didn't know that. I had a 200SX about 10 years ago, and that thing sucked ass. I guess they improved the rear-wheel weight ratio since then, since the 200SX had shit for rear-wheel traction. I assumed that the 240 was similar.

The car I was referring to has no turbo, no power-adders that I could see from looking from under the car (OK, I was curious when I saw the hood pins, which are a racing necessity). All show and no go... heh.

Thanks for the info :thumbsup

That looks sweet!!
You sure those are spinners??

Damn, way to ruin a nice lookin rig if they are..

Damn...

Now im afriad to post pics of my Navigator here..

But im sure my stereo system alone cost more then most of yous peoples cars...

But yeah i hate spinners too..

When they first came out it was cool kinda like a what the fuck is that negro up to kinda cool..

Now it seems to just attract the trashy and the cheezy.

Not sure, Amp posted it so I asume it are spinners. Otherwise it would be a great car.

Show your car bp :thumbsup
