Default strange kind of rims?

Anyone seen Sprewells car on MTV? It had some very strange rims. He stopped the car and the rims did not stop turning around.
Any pics would be greatly appreciated?

Don't really know what you're talking about ... But probably some camera and editorial tricks. Hmm, of course some archive resources will do good.

yup, I've seen it... don't remember the company that makes it, but they are dubs, and I know are expensive as hell, like a grand or so per rim.

Full magnesium compound, I imagine ... nothing else is quite that expensive?

Do a search function on rim in the off-topic forumn. I put up a link about the company with a link to a demonstration of how they work on Sprewell's car.

Do a search on rims and my name to pull it up.

25 years ago I would've looked at these wheels and said, "TOO COOOOL!" But through my "older" eyes, I just see them as being "cheezy" and on the fringe.
