RACERX009 Posted August 9, 2009 Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 So what's your take on my chrome spinners ??? I also undercoated the underside of my car made a nice difference in sound level. I used Rustoleum unercoating prevents rust and sound deadening and paintable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RACERX009 Posted August 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2009 i like the spinners i have thought of getting them for my ride. thanks greaser had to break all the black !! I actually had to fabricate the towers that extend the spinner out and make the backing plate to hold the spinners on. The front hit the dust cap had to flatten the cap then took the washers that hold the bench grinding wheel on and used them on the front wheels.Flipping them over they sat deeper in the rim towards the spinner giving me more clearance from the dust cover.

Also make sure you vent your garage or do it outside which I didn't because you will be stoned from the vapors which I was !!! Damn good high!! Wear googles or work glass and don't spray right over you like I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbstang Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks Check6, I like cause it just breaks up the black and reminds me of speed racer!! :happy feet: Oh no,,,he didn't say speed racer?? DOH!! KNock offs are cool, I think powder coated black ones would look real bad a$$!! Or even a tungsten,,yeah thats it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroDan Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Oh no,,,he didn't say speed racer?? DOH!! KNock offs are cool, I think powder coated black ones would look real bad a$$!!

gbstang Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 I agree that knock-offs are cool...but, aren't those lug nuts under there...? IMHO no. Yep, he has lug nuts under his "simulated" Knock offs.. But then, who can afford let alone find a set of halbrand wheels anymore.. It does kill me when folks refer to "Knock offs" as "Spinners" after all, they were made to simulate a real Knock off.. Spinners are something you find on a 25 inch wheel running down the road on an Escalade...hold on a sec,,,getting sick here... I know there are a couple of high end replicar companies making the repro of the cobra, they have true knock offs,,,,and you pay for them too.
