What do you think of the final product of the knock off spinners?

Very nice. A job well done. Did the spinners exist for another application, or are they made just for you?

I had some sets custom made for the Prowler. I was getting tired of the cheap stock caps breaking.

Looks good IMO. Sets the car off from the norm a bit more. Like that side panel too.

Looks good but the purpose of the spinners is to hold the wheel on a splined shaft with a threaded nut(spinner) Now if you could cover the lugnuts somehow to complete the look???

nice touch,unique! it does make the wheels look smaller with the spinners, and agree with butchee, i would rather not see the lug nuts.

The first thing I noticed was the visable lug nuts. Other than that, I like the look.

Do you really want opinions?? Well i think you did a good job, well made product! I like the stock look better. There are only a few after market Wheels i even like on prowlers. Its just my opinion, its a different look a lot of guys will like on here. Hope you sell a few and enjoy the mods! Nice Kat!

I hate to be critical because your design is so well thought out and executed. The lug nut issues mentioned does not bother me as much as the fact the spinner bars don't line up with the wheel spokes. But then the spinners would likely look off balance. So its a no win situation.
Now here is an really off the wall question. Sorry! Can those center caps be made smooth sided without the threads and at the same time have a little lower profile and a flatter crown to place a design on the cap?

Rich--the knock offs never lined up with the wheels on the originals. Here's a shot of a Halibrand wheel with a knock-off spinner.

Butchee maybe I just noticed it more because the Prowler wheel spokes are so much more enlongated and obvious. No large center behind the spinner.

I like the look of the spinners AND seeing the lug nuts...

How does the spinner fasten to the wheel?

They fasten with 3 large set screws. It is a very strong design.

Looks goreat but I would probably try to make the front spinners a little smaller to match up with the rim better. Nice design though.

The spinners can be cut down to any size at no extra cost. If anyone wants a set PM me with exactly what you want and I can give you a total.

Great job on the spinners. I do have a question. Doesn't it get a little cold driving with the top down in the snow?

Just 2 inches of ice and 10 inches of snow. Perfect to stay in and watch a football game tomorrow.

Looks good...I'm glad to see people are still finding new toys for prowlers As to the lug nuts I actually enjoy seeing them. There's actually something nice about seeing parts on these cars. I think the detached front wheels are kind of "tempting" and beckon one to see the frame, the engine, etc.

I couldn't tell from the photos so apologize in advance if they already are...one thought may be replacing the lug nuts with fully chromed nuts. I did similar things with visible nuts on my bike after I started doing some custom work on it. There are also some companies that make lug nut covers so you could give them a slightly rounded look.
