Just seen my first spinners!

Probably old hat to most people, but despite being a confirmed petrolhead I only saw my first set of "spinners" out in the wild this evening in Manchester on the way back from work. Seen plenty in wheel dealers etc, never on the road.

To cap it all it was all so stereotypical - Asian dude, black Rangie Sport with black windows, bangin choons and enormous 20-odd inch chrome spinners

Looked absofkinglutely ridiculous - his car looked like it cost about three pence. Made my day

The first set of "spinners" I ever saw were plastic wheel trims on a Punto. I've slowly seen more and more pairs of the real things cropping up of late.

Theres on of those fiat taxis (the van like ones that can take a wheel chair) with a set, I REALLY hope its a joke.

I saw some on an old lexus saloon at the weekend, they were the real deal but probably only 16 inch in size, filthy and probably worth more than the car. They looked like utter ste, I'm yet to see a car they look decent on though.
