Re: Spinners...Where Are They?

BowtieMan showed spinners,that`s what they are.They came on cars in the 60s.They are similated spindle-mount knock-offs as found on true spoke sports wheels in place of lug nutsThey became available to add to wheels,hubcaps,and center caps as an accessory.They were outlawed on new cars in`68 along with the introduction of padded dashes/horn caps,side markers,and head rests.They had 2 or 3 prongs.There are these other ridiculous gimmick oversizes wheels that came out lately with a seperate center section that does it`s own thing.These are also called spinners since those who like them know so little about vehicles that they didn`t realize there is already an accessory by that name.That,and they are too dumb to create their own name.
