You should have seen all of the vehicles up here that were slammed with spinners on Caribana weekend.

I hadn't really seen spinners before then other than in pictures. Looks pretty over the top if you ask me. :confused:

I would draw the line at writing a song about my spinners though.

Yeah, Sprewells - cost 16k when they first came out. Now they're down to 10-13k w/ a bunch of imitations from 6-8k.

Agree they are way over the top.

What's scary is when you hear stories of people financing their rims at double-digit interest rates to put on their crackhead ride like a beat up old escort instead of a nice looking car.

Some guy in LA was a 50 cent show (whatever...) and he got carjacked for his spinners. He gave up the car, and then the asshole shot him in the back as he walked away and killed him.

For a fvcking set of wheels.

While they are stupid, I'm interested to know how the outer wheel spins when the car is stopped, but when its moviing, it stays in one position.
