Spinners on FTO's

Guni_GuGu · Post by **Guni_GuGu** » Wed Aug 18, 2004 1:37 pm

I've never seen an FTO with Spinners before, infact, I havn't see too many cars with spinners, except for some big ass suv's and sh*t in the states, with nice chrome spinners,,,

So I thought, I'd ask you guys, what do you think?

Part of me, thinks it mite come off too ricey?

The other part, thinks, the FTO looks very muscly, and could pull it off well....

Only one slite problem, I havn't see em for sale much, and the only ones, i saw, were $3.2k for a set of 4 18" chrome choppers. NO TYRE'S EVEN!!

That to me, is hella expensive, any idea's?

Theres a guy at the back street where i work had those spinner on his V8 ute, looks great on it too, but i just think they won't suit FTO & they are way to heavy.

you have got to be MENTAL to even ask the question, "would they look OK on an FTO". I'm an "old fart" that drives a blue FTO and I would not consider a set of these even for a billy cart.

ps: some people just have no idea!

I wouldn't go for chrome spinners. a bit too much for my taste, but nice simple chromes or gold chromes will be nice.

Hmm, I know that everyone is entitled to their point of views, and every one has different taste, personally I try not to venture into that territory, as it is a tiny, tiny bit "Bling Bling" for me

Depends, on what you want Guni_GuGu... And how you want your car to be portrayed... no peer preasure

Buy a set of plastic spinning hubcaps and see how they look 1st... in my opinion they will look just as good as real spinners

The only cars I've seen that look good with spinners are the Merc CL class. They definately look the part on those cars. But you can't get the cheap arse spinners. Get some 20s from Lorinser or Sprewell racing then you're talking!!

But as for the FTO, yeah stick with light weight alloys. It's a peformance car so best keep it that way.

hehehe... that's about the funniest thing I've seen on here in ages.. sad thing is it's true.. probably the ONLY case where the tightass cheap imitation looks as good as if not better than the real thing... and that's not saying much...

what person in their right mind will buy somethin like that for an FTO????

those wheels are only good for SUVs or just big chunky looking cars. They look bloody ridiculous on a jap car.
It only suits those bling blingin rappers that wanna pose

Word

You could just ignore us and follow your heart

I think those wheels are quite heavy so if you do get them you will be slowing your car down. On the plus side though you will be pimpin' in no time

When I changed it I thought you would be the only person who actually knew what it was

It's a processor (negative image), looks like an AMD.

OK, it's the cover off Tool's Aenima album, but it is actually a negative image of an AMD CPU.

Post by **Supplanter** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 2:49 am

It is actually a still shot shown on some of the CRTs in the video clip for the title track for the album.

The album came out in '95, a little bit before the time when AMD processors started becoming widely available.
