Default Never thought I'd see this...

Last week while driving home from work, I saw the unthinkable: a C5 with "spinner" rims. Now I've seen it all.

As 97's and 98's become less and less expensive, you will see more and more of that.

Saw a green vert on Ebay once with 20" "blingin" rims....it was a horrible feeling that was generating inside me. Cant imagine what I'd do if I saw a Vette w/ spinners.

Yes, this is sad... And as they become more and more available, you will see less and less camaraderie and waving too. I guarantee it!

Spinner aren't even rice so I can't even use my rice ticket. IMHO spinners are ghetto and belong on SUV or low riders

I'm sooooo tired of spinners, especially the budget spinning 13/14 inch hubcaps! I just want to light a match to them every time I see 'em!

Yeah - Even pimps buy Vettes. Don't worry, Don't think it will be long before it get's seized after being used in a drug deal or other crime. Am I guilty of stereotyping......Nope "Just the facts M'am"

I'm thinking the mere cost of insuring a high performance car will discourage a lot of this from happening...We'll see...
