Similar but not the same. Here are real KO spinners...the angle of the dangle is different. 
But I don't see the hurt of having tri-bar spiners like those on a lug nut mag wheel. I like spinners!

Was gonna do that but didn't like the idea of what would happen if that little set screw loosened up so i tightened them up with a rubber mallet.

OH Yes, spinners. Why did i not think of that. Just saw the real thing on a C2 this afternoon, nice, pricey also.
Please post info of suppliers of said spinners, both two and three prong spinners, adaptability problems if any involved.
Looking at the 3 prong for these American Vectors.

Paid $375 for a set of 4...don't think I'm allowed to post "seller" info here but if you go on E-Bay and search "Carlisle Spinner" you should find it. Don't think they'll fit those Vectors though, only the newer Torque Thrust II's. BTW, these are not cheap ones either, they are solid billet aluminum "Made in South Africa"

they wont come of if you tighten them enough to put ring marks on the threads under neath. mine havent come of in over a year since I replaced the one. just make sure it exactly where you want it.
