Default C4 with spinners

Was at my best friends wedding sat when I saw it, A red c4 with what looked to be 24 inch spinners on it. So my question is what was he thinking?

Also I know I should have gotten a pic but didn't want to break my phone

spinner's don't belong on wheels, but they belong somewhere

Sign of the times....how cheesy some guys get with their C4's these days. Pin stripes and gold emblems, fuzzy dice hanging from the mirrors, tail light louvers, fur steering wheel covers, sheepskin seats...

Spinners on C4 wheels are . The ONLY place spinners belong is on a mid year.

If it had spinners, then I'm sure it had the gold plated emblems all the way around and the flaming tail light inserts! Add an industrial strength coconut air freshener that you can smell on the freeway from the car behind him and your set!
