What insurance company is going to cover you with chrome spinners?

Remember if you put them on and do not inform your insurance your policy will be void in otherwards you will be illegal.

Last I heard they were phone them and let us know what they say.

[Steve74]

Dont think they would be illegal. I've seen them on a few cars in London.

spinners are not illegal at the moment but the car will not pass its mot with them fitted

i dont know why i just read it in one of my motorbike mags after a guy asked what they were after doing an emergency stop thinking the person at the junction was pulling out in front of him when they were actualy stationary he said he felt like a right tw@t once he relised that the car wasnt moving heh heh

See chrome spinners all the time on MTV Cribs - usually on the big black off roader beasts they have in the States. Loads of bling bling. You'd need to get the windows tinted and wear lots of diamonds!

[Sheilz]

I thik these would be fun. Unfortunately have no diamonds - not even fake uns!:(:disapprove::disapprove:

Now this is just my thoughts, and don't be put off... but the first time I saw them was on a crap ford escort, and I laughed. I don't get the attraction. Whats so good about your wheels apparently still turning when they arn't? Don't you think it's a bit cheesy? Why not spend the cash on a really sweet set of alloys, chromed, and get some really decent rubber on them.

That would be funny to see ;):cool::D

[AberdeenMini]

Phoned Flux the day, they will insure them but at a hefty cost. The operator said he didnt know if they'd pass an MOT he told me to call a MOT center to be certain. Starting to go off the idea now anyway :)
