"Spinners" on wheels where you can see the lugnuts don't make sense to me. They're supposed to look like 'knock-off' wheels. And 'knock-off" wheels don't have lugnuts.

Other than that, they go well with your car.

They sell the "cones" that cover the lug nut's. But I am hesitant on how they would look on my rim.

It was just an 'observation', not a critique. It's just one of those things that look 'wrong' to me when I see it. Most folks probably don't even notice.

How about the spinners that were mounted on, say the '58 Vette hubcaps or early Mustang hubcaps...are they ok?
