If you have what do you think of them, and would you put them on a Prowler?

I'm debating on getting a set, but I don't know if they make them for the Prowler yet.

C-note, you know anything about these?

What does everyone think?

Maybe you could drag some metal strips to spark up the freeway when cruising too ....

Ron: Marty's right, they are really cool. Chris should be able to keep you posted when and if they make them in the smaller sizes for the kat. Chris has alot of really nice rims, contact CNote and he should be able to fix you up with some very nice rims for your kat. Tami

Just so you know many of the rims like this cost upwards of $10,000-$14,000 a set.

In my opinion they should not go on any car that isn't worth at least double what they cost or close, and most low riders that I have seen I wouldn't pay $10,000 for.

I'd have to disagree with you there.... Maybe you consider a Low Rider something different so I guess I'd have to see what you mean by the term "Low Rider".

That pretty much captured the essence of my view of a low rider.

Money does not equate, in all cases, with taste. I also see alot of gangster/lo-rider type driving high dollar Escalades, Blackwoods, Navigators, etc. al with 24" rims, stereos that bust windows, and gold plated everything. I suspect that if they can afford a $50K truck, $10K rims are a snap.

Don't kid yourself, some of these guys have paid as much for their custom paint jobs and air shocks as I did for my Prowler. Granted, I wouldn't give them 50 cents for them but, each has their own taste and money doesn't necessaril equate with taste.

I'd also bet you see more of those type of rims on souped up Civics and Impalas then you will on Ferrari's, Vipers, or Prowlers.....

YF - I agree with your statement above about Ferraris and Vipers. Owners of thoise vehicles are much less inclined to modify the appearance of their cars. Many of us Prowler Owners however are "into" mods such as flames, removing bumpers, getting rid of winsdshield wipers and sun visors; some even remove fenders. I would say some Prowler Owners may go for the "Spinner Look" just as they have added nean lights and wheel valve lights and lots of chrome parts.

I thought the Chrome Wheel Spinners were in the $4000 range. One of the great things about the Prowler is that everyone can make the car reflect their own tastes. I will pass on the spinners myself, but might go for a set of full moon wheels in the future.

Happy Prowling

The term Low Rider stems from the lowered look of the car and in most cases have thousands of dollars in hydrulic or air systems to control the height of the car off the ground also now used in the moderen day show and street rod cars the paint also thought you may not like the color ar pictures on the car cost plenty of dinero, the pride of ownership in most of these cars is as high as those of us owning prowlers and sometimes more, the cost of a lot of the "LOW RIDERS" is in some cases more then you have in your Prowler unless you bought in 98 for over 100K

I personally like the appearance of the stock chome wheels, but obviously cNote likes the spinners on his pickup.
