| meandmykitty | CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT SPINNERS ARE I HAVE A GOOD IDEA AND WHERE TO BUY THEM |
| tangled up in BLUE | these were made by a guy posting here as Steelercat.... they were approx $600 per set....he just made another run of these a few weeks ago and had a couple of sets left to sell.....high quality stuff

| Midntrdr | I thought those were called "Knock-offs"?? |
| Danderson | I agree with Midntrdr. I would call those knock-offs. To me, spinners are the wheels that keep spinning after you stop. Check out:
http://www.streetdreams.org/wheel_brands/Mega%20Spinners.php Though there are several terms out there that are used for more than one product, so it's very likely that "spinners" mean different things to different folks. -Dan |
| tangled up in BLUE | OOOPs, my bad.....in my day, knock offs and spinners were sorta considered the same things.....I am familiar with the new spinner wheels, just didn't come to mind....sorry |
| ed monahan | I thought a knock off was a cheap knock off of a brand name item!!!
I agree with Tangled Larry, interchangeable back in the day. |
| Jim C | This is a spinner...
 This is a nockoff wheel...

| ed monahan | If Jim C is correct, spinners were not in existence until about 5 years ago. I guess we were all wrong in the 50's and 60s

| rmatzko | Does anyone know whether or not any sets are still available? Sorry I haven't been paying attention to the Prowler site, but we here in Punta Gorda, Florida have other things on our minds. By the way, when I was growing up, the "in" hubcap was an Oldsmobile Fiesta spinner. If I remember correctly, they were from the 1957 Olds. |

Way Back then spinners were hubcaps and knock offs held your Knock off wheels on.
My XK 120 & 140, Jags and a lot of British cars MGS, triumphs, Healeys, just to mention a few had knock off wheels. Toys This message has been edited by toys on 12-17-2004 at 05:36 PM |
