Perfect D!!!! You got it, I'll order them tonight and you'd better come and wear it when you go out here in Philly.... It's in style right here.... Sad as it is, everyone kept asking me what kind of rims i'm getting, is it a spinner? I was like DARN IT, it's a Lexus for god's sake..... CALM YOUR @$$ down.... NO, it's not a spinner.... It's WORK RIMS LS.... they are like HUH???? I just said "FURGEDDABOUTIT"!!!

But you know it D... come Philly, get a ride with Jimmy HAHAHAHA and we'll go out rock the town.... Philly is too small for big tough guy like you D!!! But let me and Paul know when you're in town dude...

gstrance - Those are REALLY good for brake ventilation. NO really...

Seize - See why I'm anti-chrome? Look at that "wall of chrome"...you can't even see the damn design of the wheels (of course, that might be a good thing!!)...

Richie - There was DEFINITELY more bling and other crap at the show. There was a LOT of "Bling on a budget"....many of those spinners were HOLLOW spokes (it's like stamped/formed metal)...

It was really very sad....it makes the good stuff hard to find. I wish they would just put all the CRAP into one hall so you can avoid it. All the cheap *** lights, cheap *** wheels, cheap *** products should be shoved into the "Ricer" hall...

There were some HORRIBLE "show" cars too...I mean just pointless stuff...

As far as the firearms industry, there are "ricers" in the gun world too but since guns are such a "taboo" subject now a days, you don't see these "ricers" get so much coverage to influence other potential ricers (which are generally newbies that don't know crap about the hobby)...besides that, I think most true gun owners (not people who just happen to have a gun...there is a difference) aren't into "bling" and prefer functionality...

Default move on to something else

instead of watches and cars, they should go back to pills and coke, do most of us a favor, if your addicted to what i just mentioned sorry, sell your spinners and hit the rehab clinic

I'm sure though some kid was probably looking at the basketball ones and saying "wooooooooooooooooooow check this out..." They should ban some of that crap from auto shows cuz enthusiasts or people with taste are not gonna want to go if they have all that crap I agree with manaray..... just put all the crap in one place and the quality stuff in another.

Makes me almost want to shoot myself, knowing crap like this exists on God's green earth. I feel like I am taking crazy pills.

The BEST part of the Basketball Wheel horror was when one of the execs of the company (probably the owner) came up to us and said "What would you like? I can make you anything...basketball, baseball, volleyball, soccerball, football..."

**FOOTBALL** ???????????????

Uh....footballs generally are NOT ROUND...but hey, what do I know!? Steve Ganz and I just looked at each other...it was quite funny....we didn't even know what to say....it was just so....SO WRONG!



OLT - Bro, YOU need to lay off the crack! Hehehhehe... I think you're been staring at little LEDs too long....

TNH - Don't use it against yourself...go and get more ammo and shoot the damn people responsible for such horrors!

You know what is sad, the entertainment industry is responsible for all of that TRASH. I would like to think that I could confine the blame to rock stars, or rappers, or Bball players, the fact is, it is all of the actors, models, singers, rock bands, etc. They all have to WEAR/DRIVE their financial status at all times, which creates a jaded perception, thus all of these guys not paying their rent or supporting their children so that they can "ball out" in a Escalade on 26's!!

Its a shame because young kids today have no work ethic, yet they watch MTV all day, so they have Navigator aspirations, and Pinto means!!

I truely wish cars would fade out, I am soooo sick of having these faux ballers pull up next to me with the hollow, non concentric, spinning tops, and give me the "I know something you dont know" look. I think the more flashy the trends get, the more mild my tastes get!!!

Ahhh, see Manaray... you are not in with the times... Instead of just being able to bounce your ride on hydraulics while your car is at a stand still, now, with the football shape wheels you can bounce your ride all the way down the street without all the hydraulic crap loaded in your ride... plus you can look cool doing it with your one and only football wheels... I wonder if they have the different sizes NCAA (shorter and fat) or NFL (Narrow and long)...
