Riding spinners!
What ever happened to that whole "spinners" scene? It was sooo huge a year ago or so.. and now its completely disappeared. Ive had mixed emotions towards them. Coming from the minitruck scene, many werent able to have the spinner adapters because they would hit the wheel wells when laid out. A kid down the street had some for sale. He needed some money to pay for a ticket. I flipped him a couple bucks (150) for them. I will try to get some pics of these this weekend when it warms up a little bit. I would love to here what everyone else thinks about this.
** I dont get offended easily.. I can stand getting flamed for this.

i think the "non-spinners" (meaning, when moving the rim gives the appearance of not moving) are cooler than spinners.

Yea.. I love the "floaters" I think thats what they call them. There is a guy here locally that has a set of Davin floaters on a lowered Audi and they look amazing.

Yup..those are floaters.. The cool part is when they stop, then the wheel starts spinning.. But when they are driving.. the wheel doesnt move..

I like the idea of a rim that you can change the insert colors to match anything you got going on on your ride, or even to match you clothes on any given day. Crap thats simple like that I like. Clean and Simple!

A guy rolls around my town in an older.. Blazer I think it is. It's black with black rims, but the spinners are chrome. It looks pretty tight, I'll give it that.
