Question Question on Spinnering Rims

I am looking to buy some cheap wheel spinners or spinning rims, whatever their called. I'm very new to cars but i'm looking for the ones that you put in place of your hubcaps. I need to know how you tell what size you need. My friends said that its the last few numbers on your tire after the R. On my car the number on the tire ends in "R13". So i figure that they are a size 13. I went to a carstore and they only seem to have spinners in size 14, 15, 16 and up. When I checked online most websites seem to have the sizes in inches, and many of these sites start at 18 inches. If im right about the size 13, is size 13 also a 13"(inch) spinner size? (I measured the diameter of my hubcaps and it is 14.5 inches, but im not sure what that means) Does anyone know of where to get spinners to fit a size 13 rim. I'm just looking for some cheap ones. Walmart has some for ~$40 or so but they only fit size 14 and up. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.

Re: Question on Spinnering Rims

autozone, pep boys, and alot of other places, BUT... i urge you not to get em. they are the most tacky things i have ever seen. they are cheap and they dont spin right. plus people driving scrub cars like to get em and think that their cars are now pimp, lol. i seen one on an ugly ass green van. but its just my opinion i still say do what makes u feel good.

Re: Question on Spinnering Rims

My buddy had them on his Saturn for a while...we do things to his car to get laughs from people at the local strip...they work well for that. He got his a Wal-Mart for like $28 or somthing like that. They ended up flying off about 3 months later though.

Haha, who would even want to steal them? Go to eBay if you are looking for cheap rims. The smallest "real" spinning rims I have ever seen were 18" for dirt cheap. They were around $500 on eBay, (tires not included). But remember, you pay for what you get. I would rather see pink hubcaps than those tacky spinning hubbers. Don't waste the money, you'll most likely get made fun of.

Yes it is. Dont get them though. If you wanna get caps then get some normal ones that dont spin and paint them black. That would look way better. The spinning caps make me laugh. I dont even like the real ones. Unless they are 24's or 26's on a SUV.
