Custom Wheels?

==================== Yep, there are wheels like this. I even saw some hub caps at K-mart with the spinners.

Cute. You obviously haven't seen the ones I am talking about! I know what spinners and knock-offs are I had a set of 15x12 Dayton wires $ 4500.00 a set which had Knock-offs which is a tower that bolts to your hub the the wheel goes on the tower then the Knock-off.I also had a set of 15-8 McClean Wires $1200.00 a set which is a bolt on wheel that has a cap in which the spinner is bolted on .Niether of these wheels can be bought at K-Mart Thanks anyway Bob BTW-We ran Knock-off wheels on all of our Sprint Cars

I apologize if I took that response wrong ! But it came off to me as a smartass remark. I do know what I am talking about ! I am talking about high test wheels,not $5 add on's. and again I apologize if I took it wrong. Sincerely, Bob

No they're not. They are a perfect way to crap up a perfectly good vehicle really quickly.

========================== Yep, thats what Im talking about. You stop and part of the wheel keeps spinning. Isnt that what you are talking about? I see them all the time on the road. Very strange watching someones wheels keep going when they are at a stop light.....:)

I think these wheel are the stupidest thing since sliced bread, but they do look very cool when accelerating from a stop. The spinner is spinning slowly or stopped and the car is moving it's trippy man

Hey Scott, Just wanted to let you know that I apologize for misunderstanding you! The K-mart thing just threw me off ! Have a Great One ! Bob :)

Surprised it isn't illegal because it causes virtigo or something and causes yuppie liberal's heads to explode.

Actually I like sliced bread.

no problem.....I go to K-mart too much I guess :)

I wish we had a K-Mart around here.......................just Wally World....................

They draw a lot of attention to you but they are CRAP! I've Installed these on a few peoples car and now won't do it ever again! The problem is the Spinning part. It's Aluminum piece, pretty heavy, and there's a small bearing in the middle though which a plate behind it is attached to. This Plate is then bolted to the top of special Lug nuts that are holding the wheel on the car. Now everything is fine at first, but after putting so many miles on your Car/Truck, that little bearing starts to go out. The spinners start to wobble a bit, then they start making noises, if it gets really bad they can scratch up your wheels, and I've heard reports of them flying OFF at a high rate of speed which isn't a good thing. I've had to replace like 4 on them on 1 Escalade alone. It's come back twice. They use a Sealed none lubable bearing. I'm guessing some type of light weight grease in them so they spin nice and free. To top it all off, it cost a whole lot of money for a set. It's not worth it.

If you got money to throw away then go for it.

Whats wrong with chrome rims & 5 spoke mags in 14 or 15 in? Or white & chrome wagon wheels on a pick-up? Screw that other crap

You might want to rethink that Doc. We have lots of K-Marts here. Since they started closing stores all they have for sale is what the upper management says they can have. Most of the crap is from stores that couldn't sell it b4 they closed. I drive a round trip of over 50 miles to shop a Wally World. K-Mart is 3 miles down the road.

They are neat... for now anyway...

looking back 10 years from now, just like those old bell bottom jeans, you'll ask yourself; What was I thinking?

Come to think of it... I suspect wagon wheel rims 20 inch and higher will look silly too... if not already.

But I think some of the wheel patterns will stand the test of time. CAD & CNC are really making some great cuts.

What I would say really stand the test of time are HAND welded spoke rims - by oxy acetylene. When I saw my first pair I was just astounded!

Does the word COON in reference to thesr wheels ring a bell?
