Default where can I find 15-18 inch spinners?

First off know that i am not trying to be ricey. Most of my friends hate the box and call it names as most ignorant people in my area do .

Normally I like to keep the parts of the cars responsible for making the car go and stop stock. But my stock 9 spokes are like a fisher price wheel it just doesn't fit with the look i like of the xb.

What I want is spinners, the type where you can drive 40 mph and the wheel looks as though it is standing still, or gliding along.


>> but before i do this i wanted to know

1. i am guessing this will set me back a lot, but what ball paek should I be looking at for 4 spinners

2.is there a type that just stays still while it moves and another that just spins at stops or are they the same

3. where can I find a deal on not ghetto wheel and tire packages

THanks

REAL spinners that arent ghetto usually come 20 and up.

Some 17s and 18s can be found though I've seen. I dont know if any are spinner wheels, but you can get 17/18 inch Spintek spinners I believe. Good luck with that

I have to ask..... Why would you want to put spinners on at all? Everything around here that has something like that is usually worth less than the wheels themselves. The last set I saw was on a dilapadated '74 T-Bird.

I think spinners are a blast! There's nothing that catches the eye better than motion. Here's mine before I got my wheels, someone may be rocking these on the East Coast soon...

SPINNERS!!
Try Wally World Hub caps. You will probably find spinners in the same
place as Disco, out of style. Sorry, Hate them, heavy, danagerous and
and to flashy. Reminds me of the old pimp mobiles from the seventies.

But if you must here you go:

THERE ARE NO FLOATERS AVAILBLE IN AND 18IN 4 LUG, HOWEVER MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE TO ADD WEAIGHTS, IE SELF ADHEISIVE WHEEL WEIGHTS TO ONE PART OF THE SPINNER, I MENA THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPINNER AND FLOATER IS THAT ONE PART IS WEIGHTED
