GMT800 Escalade EXT with 22 inch spinners. God, is it 2005 again?

After getting to know someone who actually introduced me to good rap music, I forgot how terribly lazy and uninspired so much of it is.

I know why they are gone too, Lawsuits. I knew the manager at a tire / repair shop who quit over the decision to sell these awful things. A few weeks later, a customer drove home with his new set of spinners, and his toddler was interested by how they kept spinning. Needless to say, it took a serious amount of work to reattach the poor kids hand, and the customer later removed the wheels and smashed all of them with a sledge hammer. Then he contacted a lawyer, the rest is history.

Because the tire shop won't sell them anymore because LAWSUITS.

Now it's just Cadillac Escalades with huge, shiny rims and paper thin tires.

How in the fuck do those have enough mass to cut off a HAND?!

Doesn't take much to remove the hand of a small child, or even an adult. My wife works at a major hospital.

Yours was not the same model of stupid spinner wheels. You obviously didn't know about the lawsuits. Most were due to the inability to keep them balanced, the one in Michigan was for removing a child's hand. And yes, I knew the former manager of a tire and suspension shop, who predicted the problems and resigned over it. He also was a witness in the court case of the child with the semi paralyzed re-attached hand.

No offense, but those legitimately look like they're made of tin foil.

My dad actually wanted one of them. Not on 22's with spinners though...

You're made of tin foil!!!! Just kidding. These were only hub cap spinners, but when you drive a car missing two hub caps, getting hub cap spinners was kind of fun. I didn't take myself too seriously then or now.

For $60 I had more fun with these spinners than any other car mod I have ever done.

Upon further reading I am apparently a big dumb idiot that don't read good. The way my brain read your post, it was the purchaser of the wheels whom lost his hand. I am sorry that a child had to suffer. My spinners were just hubcaps. I had been driving around on missing hubcaps on steelies and thought "why the hell not?"

For $60, I had a great time with them. I didn't take it all too seriously. No toddlers were harmed by my hubcaps, of this I can assure you.

That's okay. I thought you might want to know why they are no longer offered. The child was curious and since they spin for a very long time when new, the car was very parked. While I saw the issues when they first appeared on the market, it took a few lawsuits to remove them from the market. The best part was the skateboard bearings in them that made balancing impossible. Like I posted, at least they put the kid's hand back on. But these were not hubcaps, but complete custom wheels, and the part that spins had a large rotational inertia making it hard to stop them. And the image you posted was not the same product.
