Spinner (wheel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A spinner is an automotive accessory, popular with the hip-hop community.
Spinners are wheel covers which spin independently of the wheel itself when the brakes are applied. This is achieved by using a roller bearing. Typically, the spinners are attached onto existing custom wheels, but there are a couple of exceptions; Dub Spinners and Omega Spinners are the most notable. Being an attachment to the car's rim, spinners operate by using a roller bearing to isolate the spinner from the wheel, allowing it to turn while the wheel is at rest. The spinner's own momentum helps it overcome what little friction is transmitted through the bearing. When the car is in motion, the small amount of friction transmitted through the bearing gets the spinner in motion.
The invention of the spinner is attributed to David Fowlkes Jr. Fowlkes graduated from Rufus King High School in Milwaukee, Wisconsin before moving on to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design when he was 17. With a sketch and a prototype Fowlkes created the first spinner for a design project in 1990. The prototype then remained stored until 1998 when Fowlkes was working at Reebok and met his future business partners, Hank Seemore, and Ian Hardman. Together the three formed Davin Wheels with a $250,000 loan from the Rhode Island Economic Development Corp.
Spinners were then introduced to the public at the Los Angeles Auto Show. When Davin Wheels was unable to obtain a booth at the Auto Show, they were invited to join another vendor at the show, Latrell Sprewell's Sprewell Racing. For this reason spinners are sometimes also called sprewells.
Davin Wheels holds the only patent (U.S. Patent 6554370) for the spinning technology, called the continuous motion wheel.
Spinners were popularized by the 2003 Three 6 Mafia single "Ridin' Spinners," and other popular songs by Nelly, and 50 Cent, Master P, DJ Quik, Redman, Baby and Nelly. Multiple music videos have featured the use of spinners. Spinners have also been features in many television shows including MTV's "Cribs," ESPN's "The Life," BET's "How I'm Living," and "NBA Inside Stuff." Spinners have been further popularized by many celebrities who use them including, Latrell Sprewell, Hulk Hogan, Shaquille O'Neal, Busta Rhymes, Donovan McNabb, and Allen Iverson.
The prestigious Rolls-Royce Phantom has spinners of a sort - the 'RR' logo in the center of the hub is mounted on a spinner with an offset weight designed to ensure that the logo is always the right way up when the car is parked.[i]
In late 2004, special basketball shoes called Sprees, by DaDa Footware, featuring a minaturized spinner rim became available.
Enjoy

Imagine the social stigma if the RR emblems on your phantom were the wrong way up when your chauffer parked it..

When I firsts saw the spinners on H2s and Escalades in Hip Hop movies, I liked it, that is only for show, that is why i is so chromed and BLINGed out. BLING is not bad, just not for the BMW.
BUT for me the chrome around your windows are also "like" BLING
