    ....and more importantly, that people are buying them......

    Wait for it..... Chrome Spinners.....in wheel-trim form..... they look ****e..and stick out about a mile from the tyre! I saw them on a Punto the other day. The absolute epitome of tack :D

    What's more is that I think I saw them in Motorway in Blanchardstown for about 80 eurons!!

    I saw a new E46 3 series with them recently and a friend saw a new 6 with them.
    Just shows that having money doesn't mean you have taste!

    I saw a set of the wheel trim version on a micra last week ... she had the fake exhaust clip on for it too ... I nearly crashed my car laughing :D

    Saw a set of chrome alloys [must have been 18's at least] on an Beemer ... they were the spinning kind & I have to say that it looked sh!t hot :cool:

    They were similar to these:

    I can just see it though ... there'll be loads of boyracers/girlracers in their micra's et al with their spinning wheel trims & the accessory of choice will be:

    They were big in the states a year ago, I guess the boy racers here are now playing catchup!

    well if you were a boyracer driving a micra with all the ****e they put on their cars,
    you'd be playing catchup to everything.. including OAP's in wheelchairs and zimmerframes.. :D
