This post is linked for the ebay feedback i left on the spinner rims that i purchased last week:

I found a deal on some 15" spinners for about 22.95 to my doorstep.
...The perfect item to donate for the blazerfest raffle!
(Thanks paramount13914 A++++++ Ebay Seller!!!)


..of course these needed some testing to see just how well they will hold up on a 4 wheeler...
...so i ran them on my truck friday and saturday before donating them into the raffle, for someone else to enjoy, (whats left of them).
:D



I put them on before driving down highway 101 to blazerfest.. I think just about everyone pulled up next to me and gave me a funny look.
I smiled and laughed back at them. :rotfl:
Everyone at blazerfest laughed when i pulled into camp. I tried to ignore them.

The "simu-lock" beadlocks allowed me to air down my tires without fear of popping a tire off the bead.

The spinners really helped the sidewall dig and provide traction when i was up against rocks and climbing out of ruts.

Getting hung up in the rocks and doing burnouts just looked cool while the tires were spinning but the rims stayed still.

After putting the spinnaz through 2 days of mud, rocks, trails, trees, roots, and rti ramps:
Each spinner had 5 or 6 of the 16 or so spokes broken off, and the cone covers broke off of all 4 hubcaps. :crazy:
However, they still worked and spun at the end of the weekend when they got raffled off. :thumb:



Ultimately, Greg72 won the spinners in the raffle, and he was the talk of the town driving away while his rims stayed still.
Hopefully someone got a pic of greg's ride with the spinners. :wink1:

I highly reccomend geting a set of these for light wheeling and mall cruising!!

I think its just as funny to see his car around all the wheelers. That was rather funny when you rolled in. :haha:
 
lol, thats great. but forgive me if im wrong, but they look like the hubcap style spinners.
 
ssshhhh! spinner rims, spinner hubcaps... same thing. :dunno: :haha:
 
I'm speechless. :D
 
That was damn funny when you came rolling into camp, stopped, and your spinners were still going. :haha: Too bad you dinged one up Thursday night on the Mini Rubicon.
