There are now "spinner" hubcaps that simulate the more expensive wheels. They come in a variety of sizes and are WAAAY more economical than the wheels,if you are so inclined. Personally EEECCCHHH[:0]!!!

$1K-$2K a wheel is CHEAP!

The better brands run around $12K

I found one of the APC spinner hubcaps on the side of the road. Its now a chessy decoration in my room. At car shows, its my hood prop. People get a kick out of it

Spinners are not designed for front wheel drive vehicles, due to the lack if rim space on the outside. spinners required about a full 1-1/2 of rim to conceal the ends. If installed on a PT the spinners extend beyond the fenders and this is prohibited in most states.

This is the only Cruiser I've ever seen with those spinners. All in all, this is one awesome Cruiser.

Here in Albuquerque last week, a couple of teens had their SUV stolen at gunpoint because someone wanted those rims from the SUV.

When I was a teen I couldn't afford those rims, not to mention an SUV.

Yep, The real ones are called Spreewells,named after latrell spreewell. Designed by Sprewell racing. real Sprewells go for about $3000+ per rim, theres tons of knockoffs, problem is they're cheap and most of em start to stick, so you'll have 3 wheels spining and one at a dead stop. I've seen the real ones on an Escelade the other day, I work at the airport so I see alot of the NFL players rolling up in thier cars. This one came up to the curb doing make 15 mph and after he stopped the wheels kept spinning for at least 5 mins. nice and balanced, should be for that kinda money
