New Idea tell me what u think

Well i dont really know if this is already being sold but i have a great new idea for wheels. You buy wheels so that they look good and ppl see them right? Well when your drving all you see is the blur of the chrome. So i came up and made this wheel that stays still while your driving so that u can actaully see what it is. What do u think? We have the wheels that keeping spinning when u stop why not wheels that never spin at all.

That sounds like a pretty good idea, but I think it might look a little funny. I would love to see some videos of these wheels on a car to see what they would look like.

hmpm..............sounds interesting. I might just go to my friends house and jack up the rear of his escalade, put it in drive and just hold the spinner and see how that looks. I had an idea once where the actual rim was normal and the spinner was on the inside of the wheel.

They do have this out, I only know cuz I saw it on the new Cash Money and RKelly video on a red escalade or tahoe. The video also has that red ws6 doing donuts.

The new Rolls-Royce Phantom has something similar, I think. It's got centercaps that stay still when the car is moving so you can see the Rolls-Royce logo on them.

ya i have seen those wheels in that video too but i am not talking about just the spinner part not spinning. i am talking about a hubcap type thing where it snaps on to a black wheel and the whole hub cap does not spin.

I actually was thinking the same thing about a week ago. One of my friends said that there is a mercedes that does that. I am not sure how it is done or anything but i guess it changes to whatever speed you are going. Also i have seen some monster trucks on TV do that before, i thought it would look pretty cool on a car.
