Another First?? Xmod Spinners!!

bondo · #1 07-31-2007, 12:08 AM

just wondering if anyone has seen them before. if so where and do you have a link?
i made a couple of prototypes, one in plastic and one in aluminum.
the aluminum was a pain but it spins sooo much better.

here's a small clip, let me know what you think....
thanks,
Bondo

Been done once with a hummer, its faaaar back a year ago on xmw, Ill try and dig the link up for ya

They look promising, but seems the spinners craze is dieing in real life. Its been awhile since Ive seen them

hey my car is a focus and I dont have them on mine. I have 16" aluminum wheels on mine. I only see the spinning hubs on civics, accords, camrys, sentras and all other foreign ricer cars.

Are those the prototype rims XI was working on? Not the spinner part, but the actual 6-spoke rim

they sure are. i cant go into too much detail about it but i can say that the company he outsourced through messed them up bad.
they work and their a decent looking rim but the offset was supposed to be deeper as well as a few other aspects.

simply put, they didnt turn out like he wanted them to.
