Where did the spinners go?
 

Yeah I know I'm like a decade behind but, uh, what happened to the spinners scene? :lol:

They didn't go anywhere, you did.

See, now that all the DUB-hipsters got out of the VIP scene, it's legit again. DUBSTYL4LYFBITCHZ!

Spinners? As in knocker knobs .. ?? Or as in "flippers" .. ??

The original Davin wheels were pretty cool the first time I saw them, but...my first thought was, "cool, they copied that old lead sled trick".

Time to bring the scene to the FRS/BRZ

:bonk:

It evolved from spinning to stance... :(

Oh, thanks for the clarification. The OP is speaking to hub caps, that go round and round when the car isn't moving.

I thought maybe he was talking about Brodie knobs ...... which would also go round and round when the car wasn't moving ...... :D

I reckon I got some catchen up to do ..... :(

There is a Chrysler 300 club in town here and rest assured that spinners are alive and well with that crowd!

I showed that buick with the 32's to the ppl in my dealership and got some good laughs haha!

Wow I try to be open minded but that looks like shit and it's not even done well. Those hacked fenders are going to give him a puncture. Sucks he probably paid good money to have that done too.

That pink 300 aint bad though haha

I remember when I first bought my RSX, someone posted their RSX with spinners... :barf:

I used to work at a rollerskating rink in highschool. This guy had spinners for the wheels on his skates..

I feel like that is way more forgivable than 35" spinners on a classic Cadillac fleetwood.

Man. I'd love to imagine that the guy I'd be talking to if I called them would actually be the guy in the stock photo in the top right of the site.

I don't understand all the hate. The Spinners had a a bunch of great tunes.

Spinner wheels have the whole wheel keep spinning. The "throwing star" hubcaps that spin are choppers. And the rims that don't look like they are moving, like the RR emblem on Rolls Royce wheels, are floaters.

Like the wires on the caddy.
Who does wire with knockoffs for scooby hubs?
because sports car.

There are a few around (I looked) but they cost about the price of the car!

These are awesome! Cost, $700 + each. Yeah, that's what many custom wheels cost. They will make 5x100.

Cheaper than any I found but that is still in my way to much for wheels category!

I went on a search for these a few months back and came across the Dayton wheels, seriously considered them and came to the same conclusion as @Tcoat.

reminds of this...good times and memories

those stupid things are all over the place in the Tampa area. Spinners and floaters, and over size wheels are everywhere. It's one thing when someone ruins a crappy Altima or an old Caprice or Impala, but the first time I saw a brand new Camaro on 30's I wanted to road rage on the twat and piss in his pocket.

Houston moved away from spinners and onto the SLAB train. Nothing like a good set of 84s with elbows.

One lowrider down here has em still. Usually saw them on Suburbans, ugly Buicks or ugly Ford the type the popo drive. Most grew up, others switched to Camaros and Challengers. Guess they don't look good on em?

Anyone ever see spinners that lit up?

Lets get a group buy going for the twins. Find the ugliest spinners you can and we will all buy them.

I think they just moved here and bought 300s. And yes one of them has spinners that light up.

Lets do it! We will win some trophies at car shows and shit.
