Nothing like K-Mart spinners to really set your ride off.

It seems like 50% of the Chevy Cavaliers around here have the K-Mart/Wal-Mart spinners on them.

"Look, dad - aren't those the silly hub caps you were making fun of on that car?"God bless her - she said it loud enough for the two teens in the isle to hear that were actually going to buy a set."Yep, those are the ones"

That's awesome. Frankly, if you can't afford the real things, don't do it. I have been looking at spinners for my mom's Grand Am. They are $3K a wheel and are black and chrome (they match her car). However, right now, $12K is a little out of my budget. I would NEVER put the fakes on any car of mine (or my mom's) - they look ridiculous!!!

Besides attracting car chop-shop thieves, genuine spinners do a great job of trimming fingernails (and occasionally fingers, I suppose) of inquisitive neighborhood kids. $12K just for WHEELS? I only paid $13K for my last car (Vibe, used, naturally)
