Can a universal spinner kit be installed on every rim style (of the same size of course)?
and what do they use to extend them off the wheel face.

Spinners will be out of style before you buy a set.

I hope you are right to Sam! I think you should put Paris Hilton and Spinners in a time capsule and never dig them up!

i like the look of the chrome or nice polished aluminum on the right truck but i find the idea of tryin to make your wheels look like thier moving pretty dumb. i personally had my eye on a set of volante rims that were polished aluminum.

s10350racer:

you're right, but for some reason people think they are. I NEVER meant they were cool, that's for sure. It's just a another gaughty way to ghetto your ride and try to get attention.

Sam!!!!! You speak what I think in my head!!! You probably like a nice Clean simple ride that has good suspension and an stout engine. Start with the inside of the box and work you way out. The trend now is wory about how much Bling Bling is on the outside of the box.

someones avatar on one of the s-10 sites says "huge shiny wheels does not make your ride custom". i couldnt agree more. and they are ugly as hell in most cases. theyre not bad on high dollar show trucks where they compliment the rest of the truck but on stock height daily drivers that i see every day, it makes me want to drive around and flick rubber bands at their faces.

Que? Lol, I like mine. And to be honest, I have seen maybe one other setup of spinners that I actually thought looked neat.

But also, anything can be done wrong. It just so happens, that most of the people with spinners do it way wrong.

I'm still not completely satisfied with mine, and I'm thinking about buying the caps and selling them. If I can ever manage to bag my truck, I think they will look tons better.

And I guess for round Three, I can answer your question rather than defend my opinion:

The concept of a spinner replaces three lug nuts with longer ones that have a threaded hole in the center. You bolt the spinner onto those lug nuts. So theoretically, Yes you can put it on anything. The trick is, most rims aren't suitable for a spinner, and the actual spinner will "hang" out of the rim about an inch, giving you a very Gaudy, Ghetto, Retarded, setup.

I have a spinner that was made for my rim, the stunner spinner by SpinTek on a KMC venom.

Any more questions just ask.

seriously, i cant begin to count the number of vehicles iv seen those autozone spinner hubcaps on. its not just the ricers either, its poor people in their cadillacs, moms in the mini vans, trucks, anything. the funniest had to be a mid 80's cutlass cierra with a garbage bag/duct tape window, horny moose muffler, and racing sponsor stickers everywhere. i almost crashed trying to look over my shoulder as it drove by.
