OK, which Bling Bling crackhead started the trend of 22" chrome wheels that still spin when the vehicle stops?
- Thread starter NFS4
- Start date
Those things freak me out.
A set of 4 costs between $2000-6000 depending on bling blinginess and holla factor.

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.

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

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?"

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!

whenever I see one of those, the old 80's Spy Hunter video game theme starts playing in my head...

That is actually the theme from the '60's TV show Peter Gunn. They just liberated it for Spy Hunter.
