Default Spinners for C5?

After alot of run in's with the local rice crowd it got me thinking.

Maybe if I had spinners, a big wing, neon's, 5000 stickers, wiper LED's, and melon sized pipes I might have got instead of the bird.

OK now I have MOD fever.



























Or it may be the rumba n coke.

Looking at your avatar, boy you weren't lying when you say you got the bird.

One word Tim ... relentless.

PUG - Good to see PETA avatar still roams free.

One thing I don't understand ... how do you mount the spinners?

Ok I will answer for Mr Green before he gets here.................
Spinners would be very cool on a Vette, and maybe even some neon glow valve stem covers.

Spinners should be illegal ... you can't tell if the car is moving or not. Very distracting ... dangerously so.

Said he had them custom made from some company in California, I cant remember who. I asked him what each wheel weighed and he said a least two too three times the factory wheels

To each his own, and it was unique.

Be careful, my friend. Once you are on the slippery slope, there's no turning back...

First spinners, then this...

I'm glad you were only joking...

Right?

I still love that "spoiler" on EG's car.
