Default Spinners for the bimmer

I am afraid I have to start looking for some spinners for my car but does anyone know a good UK supplier of such things where I can walk in and see what I may or may not be buying.

I just have to chav it up can't help it. Sold my Scooby and don't feel chav enough with an X5 so I am going to start a new trend and make X5's the new chavtastic burberry hat wagon. Pimp tints and spinners on the way and a great big sub in the boot if there is anyway to play with bimmer stereos.

It has to be done maybe some gold spinny bits over chrome wheels. Or perhaps some naff spinning hubcaps to save money car cost enough as it is.

What's a 'rude boy'? Is it some kid who says poo a lot and sticks their tongue out at you?

Why go for spinners? Go for some custom 29'' wheels, remember seeing some back at the autosport show @ the khumo stand....Now if you want to stand out, thats the way to do it...spinners are for Saxo's.....

This bling bullsh*t is creeping in in all the wrong places now. Enjoy wasting your money in your desperate attempt to 'fit in' or impress .

The bad taste craze will soon die out anyway, or blow itself out. Either way, the sooner the better.

Note to self....Sell X5 in the morning.


DON'T DO IT

Should they be legal ?

I nearly had a crash with a car recently due to a car with spinners on. I thought he was pulling out on me when I saw the wheels moving and hit the breaks and scared the life out of the car behind.

Why do you think I want to fit in or impress ? I just think its funny to chav an x5 up because sometimes people who drive bimmers think they are a bit special and won't be happy when they see the super chavtastic version as driven by me in a soon to be purchased baseball cap. I won't however spend a fortune on 2k wheels for a joke but I'm sure I can work it someway so it doesn't cost a bomb.

Whether you alter the look of it on a budget or not, you are not taking into account the engineering process that goes into a car like this. Why cheapen it with your watered down 'mods'?

You have one desire and one desire only. You desperately need to be noticed at all costs.

How sad.

trackman let me guess you have a BMW and it makes you feel important ? well let me tell you the one car least likely to get you noticed is a BMW they are cheap and common even a chav like me can have one do what does that tell you. If I wanted to get looked at why did I sell a snarling growling rally beast and buy one of the most common and invisible cars on the road ?
