Has anyone ever found some nice looking racing rims that have spinners? I've seen the chrome *bling*bling* spinners, but I was just wondering if anyone makes some good looking rims that spin. I think it would look really nice to have some silver 8 spoke racing rims with spinners (and don't even joke about hubcap spinners) Anyone see this anywhere? I'd like a picture if it's been done. Just an idea that came to me...

ive never seen it, as it would be extra weight that just negates the purpose of racing wheels. im assuming that the spinner setups create a lot of extra weight if you want to make sure they dont fly off the rest of the wheel.

Well this obviously wouldn't be about performance, but about looks. Racing wheels look a whole lot better than chrome bling rims. Just wondering if it's ever been done before.

i doubt it, enver heard of it before, never thought of it before...for "racing wheels" i'm sure it would be expensive as hell to get spinners to be light, as "racing wheels" are.

I saw an SUV around here that had very thin 5 spoke spinners. the actual spokes were thin and flat black, and the spinners were thin 5 spoke that resembled the shape of the spokes of the Konig Blatants... Definitely not hubcaps, and they had to at least be 20's...
