Totally LAME.

Spinner rims are good for big ass SUV's if yer into that kind of thing.

Personally, i think they are just lame on any car vehical.

They look ridiculas on a Mustang. If you like spinners then get an SUV or a luxuary car to put them on. If you want to stand out from your friend and everyone else you hang out with then dont get them as youll be just like them.

If you can afford spinners, I would get some AR Torque Thrust, CCW, SSR, or some other nice looking wheel.

Or you can do the standard replica wheels.

Please dont do this to a mustang, I remember seeing my first ones 2 years ago on a Navigator, 24" rims. They guy at the speedshop where i met the guy at said they cost him $3200 for the rims. The truck was a Monster Stereo on Wheels and went to Stereo competitions. Please dont Molest a mustang like that!!!

The kid next door has a set of fake ones PepBoys sells for $69 for all 4, They dont spin anymore though. I dont understand why anyone likes these. Plus they are heavy. And when i saw the price of real ones I cant understand why anyone would waste the money.

Of course im the kind of mustang guy that if it doesnt speed the car up or make it handle better, I dont waste the money. I have done, "looks" mods in the past, but only front spoilers.

My last stang i had before my one now was the fastest. Turbo'd 91, I liked the factory 5 star ponys so much and needed wider rear tires, That i had a place in Maryland, Widen the factory Ponys to 10" and ran Micky Thompson Competiter tires P305/40/16s, And had the fronts cut down to 5.5 " for some skinnies, and had 2 more ponys for street driving fronts.

Of course, there is also the performance loss to think about. It is huge.

Personally i like neon but that is just my opinion spinners are gay though. Neon is a -okay with me but many on this forum do not like neons. I like them just because it's flashy and is hidden when you want it hidden unlike ghetto spinners. Sorry just my honest opinion. I may eventually do neon on my stang. Or maybe not.

Spinners on a mustang are just stupid, as they are heavy and they look retarded on a sports car. However, I do have neon lights under my car, and I get compliments all the time about how they look and how the people didn't think they would on the mustang. You just have to get them the same color as your car, and for God's sake--HIDE THE BULBS!! I hate it when I can see the lightbulbs.....
