OK, which Bling Bling crackhead started the trend of 22" chrome wheels that still spin when the vehicle stops?

NFS4

NFS4

No Lifer
OK, what "brilliant" person came up with this idea??? I know that you've seen this bling bling chromy jobbies with these massive domes that keep spinning when the car/suv/pickup stops.

Must cost a fortune for those things.
 
I think it was Snoop. Or some company that he is involved with.

edit: bigsmooth might be right, I remember that cribs, but I don't remember sprewell actually saying they came up with the idea first
 
they do cost a fortune, and I think maybe it was the cash money guys that started it. First time I saw 'em was on MTV cribs.
 
All you really need are the properly sized attachments with ball bearings inside them.

Oh yeah, it was me. All me, I did it, every last bit. So I like shiny things that spin, sue me.

Those things freak me out.

A set of 4 costs between $2000-6000 depending on bling blinginess and holla factor.

actually i have seen the original ones..they were done by soem basketballers company...

those are the expensive ones..they have ball rearings and are attached at the outter part of the rim not the middle. so the spin with the tires motion i think they went for liek 10k

i have seen stupid knockoffs look cheap and are attached to the middle to spin...i saw one of these on the freeway ..wasnt spininnig and looked liek it was about to fall off it was flapping so bad

It wasn't a rapper, it was Latrell Sprewell on "Cribs" IIRC. Some people actually call them "Sprewells".

Yeah, that was the first place I saw them. They really weirded me out the first time I pulled up next to a set at a stoplight - I thought I had missed the light turning green.

Heh, I saw a set from far away (and I could only see the back half of the car) and I thought "WTF is that idiot doing smoking his tires at the light like that? and, btw, why is there no smoke?"
 
Are you black NSF4?, if so I'm going to have to ask for your black man card right this instant as you don't deserve to be black!

This has inspired me to release my own brand of rims: Gladiatyres. Yes, you too can experience the awesome feeling of having two 14" wrought-iron blades affixed to every wheel of your vehicle. Get them at your local auto parts store today!
 
Hat3r!

I think a rapper's inches is directly proportional to the number of bastard children they've had with various two dollar skanks.
