I know this is a stupid question, but I was just curious. Can you put those spinning rims on a Cooper?

Goonery · Jan 16th, 2004, 03:11 PM

Yes , But why?
"dem spinnin rims is jus bling fo da gangsta ho pimp mobile in da hood na look mingin on a MINI cha",
if you catch my drift and IMHO

minimistress · Jan 16th, 2004, 03:14 PM

lol, i know what you mean

i was just wondering, it would be pretty weird, wouldn't it?

planeguy96 · Jan 16th, 2004, 03:16 PM

Nope won't work......don't ask again.

Goonery · Jan 16th, 2004, 03:27 PM

Ther was an Auto show in LA last year which had a set on a MINI, I saw a Video of it moving around, and it sucked. Its not for 'tiny street fighter' like the MIN, but its ok on the big 4+4 poser cars and so called muscle cars.

I think they cause axle bearings lock up. Or is that throw up.

IBMiniG · Jan 16th, 2004, 03:55 PM

IMO:

Spinning rims are near the top of the list for worst automotive accessories. Ahhh I feel better.....

just my 2c.

azimmerm · Jan 16th, 2004, 05:43 PM

i agree. don't like them either. :P
if you do want them, i believe that they are made by a company owned by latrell sprewell (the basketball player). i think it is called spreewell racing or something like that.

nothing wrong with spinning rims. They are not ideal for road use, they are for show use. Look mean on a show car, but crap on a car driving down the road.

I'd buy em for chrome rims for the show season, but not for every day drivin.

shut up yooos! hehe

I try to always go by the five year rule: Try not to do anything that if reminded or shown a picture of five years later will make you feel like an idiot.

Some of the more extreme fashion trends come to mind. Some things in automotive trends are not really different. Pick your comfort level to avoid ribbing from your friends later in life.

How does that work if you're still wearing the same clothes 5 years later? Or that mullett?

You don't care or you are deaf to the ridicule of others.

Paul · Jan 17th, 2004, 08:18 AM

Those spinner things are in my opinion probably the singularly most stupid "fashion" accessory ever to go on a car, and there's been a lot of those over time.

dietcokeplease · Jan 17th, 2004, 09:23 AM

Spinners are the new 3-spoke wheels.

The only car that was cool with 3-spokes are Saabs.

Paul · Jan 17th, 2004, 09:38 AM

Do spinners look good on Saabs then?

dietcokeplease · Jan 17th, 2004, 09:53 AM

Yes.

But only if you fit Tyre Lights at the same time:
