I saw a Black 300z once in Sydney with spinners. I should have asked him how do you get the hubcaps to spin like that

surely there must be SOMETHING that deserves it to have a go at

spinners are just like everything else, if they are done right they look great.
if they are done by a bogan, they look terrible.
hit the nail on the head there mate!

The craziest thing i have seen spinners on were a 2004 Monaro. why would you spend up ward of $40,000 on a car and then stick those things on it.... Its just crazy. But hey each to there own. If we all did everything the same it would be a boring world!

I see a guy on the way to work every morning who bought a new yellow commodore ute and ran 20 inch spinners when they first came out. I think he wanted to stand out. The spinners lasted about a week before he took the spinning bit off the wheels. Obviously his mates set him straight.

Satyed at the sofitel in melbourne a few weeks ago. walked out the front and saw this. Had to get a pic. Was sitting there for about 5 mins, rims spinning the whole time. Looked pretty awesome just because of what it is. Being a big pimpsta limo its designed to get your attention, and the spinners sure help add some visual effect. Personally would never put them on anything i own, or let anyone park in my driveway with them on their car, but i would let this thing park out on the nature strip at least! Ha.

spinners are great in sizes OVER 20"s
and have to be a tasteful design..

i think they suit alot of the big SUVs and Minitruck scene more than anything..but then both the SUV and minitruck scene are the realm of BIG RIMS..

The Commodore and Faclon owners around here would not own such a thing as "spinners". They are occaisionally seen on Mitsubishi Lancers, old Pulsars and the like.

They seem to look good on black Chrylser 300Cs and lots have them (I wonder it is a dealer option).

The one thing that is worse than spinners wheels is........ plastic spinners hubcaps. It screams "I have no taste and no money."
