What do you think of the spinning rims on the vehicles (The kind they spin when the car is stopped)?

They're absolutely great for my wheels!

Spinning Rims

Me, I personally think it's a waste of money.

I only like to see them at a store display.

The only spinning wheels I like are the ones on the back of my 68 Chevy Pickup when the petal is to the metal and the wheel smoke is blinding all those behind me!! 8-)

A waste of money!! I laugh when I see them. Because they have those 5000 dollar wheels on a 100 dollar car. Not to mention they probably live in a dump.

I saw one at a car wash yesterday evening. There were two men working on those rims cleaning them, but you should have seen the rest of the car. LOL!!

Some people found the spinning rims so popular, that they made metal yo-yos with the spinning rims on the sides. What next? :roll:
