Misc: Those darn spinning rims

Yes, you know you've seen them. They were a fad a while back when Latrell Sprewell showed off the first set of spinner rims on MTV. Fine, it was kind of cool to some, since the rims continue to spin even though the car isn't moving anymore. The coolness lasted maybe 10 seconds. You can find a line of his rims at this site. Yes, they are pretty freakin' expensive. So rappers began to install these spinner rims onto their pimp rides, like the Escalade, Mercedes, Bentley's, etc. OK, they have money to burn, and that was the style back then. But as a consequence, look at what the fad has started. SPINNING HUB CAPS. You know you've seen them. They can be bought at your local Wal-mart and even Amazon. You'll be able to see these great spinning hubcaps on Geo Metro's, Caravan's, ALL the Korean cars (Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo), Mitsubishi's, and many other cars...usually inexpensive ones. Just look at this Camry:



It's a CAMRY. It's a FAMILY CAR. What is this world coming to?

It's bad enough that the hubcaps spin, but the worst part is, they don't even work. How many times have you seen those Caravan's with spinning hubcaps, and they don't even spin? They kind of just wobble along like a loose cap fitted onto the hub cap. Sometimes they spin, but they never spin in unison...the front right rim would spin wobbly, and the back right rim would kind of wobble around looking like they are just about to fall off. I understand people want to customize their cars, but that's not the way to go! Please get some regular hubcaps...I don't care what kind...just make sure they don't spin.
