Spreewells!

Well, now I know what they look like (sadly). Just saw them on a newish black corvette convertable. Sitting at a light they were spinning as if the wheels were turning. Gross! Some people will do anything to mess up a nice car!

For a "nice" set of Sprewells, you could almost buy 2 sets of whatever Volks you like. What a waste of money!

If you guys want I think they actually make hubcaps that work just like the spreewells Much cheaper...and while you are at it, cruise down the ricer isle and pick up some flashing inflator caps :P

HAHA I think they are funny, what a friggin waste of money! Although I did see on American Chopper they had a double spinner on one of their bikes they made and it did look pretty cool on the bike. But still I think its a waste of money and just plain stupid.

They might be acceptable if they pushed air to cool the brakes! As it was, the ones I saw were very shiny chrome. I thought it was just silly! And two grown men in the car, prowd as hell.

Those things are the best. A few of us (stupid) stood next to some "hooked up" neon for like 10 minutes laughing at it and spinning the dam thing. The guy came to his car gave us all this hard look, and we just laughed at him, as his fart can went off and he drove off. Wow what a laugh.

They're about to release those ugly *** Omegas in a 26 inch....OVER 2700 bucks a wheel.
http://www.truckxpressions.com/truck...gaspin_rwd.htm

Here's the plastic ones so you can roll like a true PLAYA on 14's:

Man, OCC has jumped all over this idea:

I was stopped at a light next to a red econo-box over the weekend, and it had spinner hub caps. I laughed (out loud, to myself) and then tryed to figure out if they had them as a joke or if the car's owner thought they looked good. I couldn't come to any conclusion on that issue.
