No Oprah gave away the new Pontiac G6 - the replacement car for the old Grand Am.

 

Hmmm...Not my cup of tea

 

Obviously, the people that do this to their car don't care about performance.

 

I just don't understand what the attraction is? Clearly this person that owns this car has some degree of taste because it is a nice looking motor!! I just don;t get it.... maybe it's me?

Spinner's...please!!! Ghetto!!!

Thanks for the link Irish...can't say I'm a fan of the revised front or rear. An acquired taste, I s'pose. Like the new alloys though....the stripper version available here only has 17's on it. The 350Z "Track" comes with 18's....but I can't recall seeing those ones. They look ace...

It reminds me of unpainted carbon fiber hoods and huge wings.

 

Those spinners aren't even the authentic Davins--those are cheapass knockoffs--the owner needs to take that garbage off and put them on an Escalade. Spinners are getting played out anyway--I think they need to stay on SUVs (if you like em). There is a clown driving around here with those same knockoffs-painted red to match his red 3000GT -- 100% garbage.

 

how can you tell the difference between the real and fake spinners??

 

For me spinners are just awful and 20 inch rims only take away from performance and create massive tire replacement bills. But for others, they are the height of appearance and a status symbol. Different strokes I guess. I just don't know why anyone who was worried about how their car performs would add either of these things. Of course some people seem to believe that vinyl stickers make their car faster, so whatever.

 

LOL

 

real spinners are flush with the lip of the rim. Fake spinners protrude--if you are directly behind the car you should not be able to see the spinner protruding. The fakes use adaptors--I've seen some horrible setups in which the fake spinner protrudes about 2.5in from the rim. And then--that design is the generic 'spinner' that all the fakes are. A fake spinner attachment sells for like $100 a piece.
I see you ridin' spinners but they not Davin -- Bun B. of UGK from "Yo Cadillac"

 

Should I get spinners for my RX-8, or have I been sniffing too much of the Krazy Glue?

 

wow
I didn't know that
I see spinners in the OC every day
but I guess I have never seen real ones

 

Ya, I didn't know the difference either...thanks.

I still maintain they are stupid on anything but a truck, and I would never own a set.

 

Spinners are the dumbest fad to come along in quite a while.

They are bad enough on trucks/suv, but to put them on a G35 is just ludicrous.

 

You guys havn't seen a 350Z with spinners ... I have. .. thing looked idiotic ... 2 seater with spinners. . I think they were 19"'s too ...

 

I think it was a neat idea, not for me, but a neat idea. But like so many neat ideas it was ruined by overexposure and being cheapened at every turn.

 

I agree IkeWRX--a friend of mine's uncle has an Escalade ESV with 24" Davins (authentic spinners) and it is cool--but not my taste. I've spinners on everything from Mitsu Mirages on up--this trend is going away though--the rims that stay still ala Rolls Royce Phantom are the next craze. Check out my car website--on the main page is a pic of the aformentioned Escalade with a set of authentic Davins, unfortunately the pic doesn't get much bigger now so you may not be able to tell the difference from the angle: http://slabs.wreckfastclub.net/ . Davins sell for like $10K--so thats why the knockoffs are everywhere--don't get me started on the spinning hubcaps--here is where I would put the 'vomit' smiley.

 

What in the hell is flossibility? What does cars have to do with oral hygiene?

 

LOL--flossin--showin off--stuntin-- www.wreckfastclub.net/features/dictionary.html maybe that'll help some.

 

I'm just kidding. I've lived in Houston long enough to know what flossin' is. :D

 

:p LOL--I was about to say-- You already know how it goes in the H.
