Default Bling bling rims

We were talkin about them many times in many forums, so I decided to find some spinning wheels for ya .It's mostly for European people, cos u Americans probably know them well 8)

You are entitled toyour own opinion...but paying a few grand for such a piece of shit is just lame IMO.

not quite a few grand. More than enough to buy a compact for the 20+ inch ones. Everyone who buys that shit now is just posing. It was a fad whose 15 mins are hopefully up. Although, living in Toronto and with Caribana just around the corner i'm sure there will be plenty of idiots rolling on spinners. Well, to each their own.

Umm 20"+ rims cost a few grand as it is for trucks (not guite for cars) and spinners can cost upto $10k for original Spreewell spinners (they were the first and the first vehicle to ever have them was a Black Diablo Roadster) for 26". so yes they can be expensive for real ones then there are tons of cheap knock offs that don't even look good but the Spreewells are nice rims I must say.

Expensive crap...but can look cool on some SUVs maybe...not in cars like those 25" rims on sedan Chevrolets on other topic...that ones looked awful.

They're such a huge waste of money and they have to be going out of style soon. I mean its fine in the rap videos and stuff, but pretty soon every body is going to have a knock off on their Yukons and whatever and then how stupid is it going to be to pay 10+ grand for spinners? More money than brains i guess
