Good looking product, Jerry, and I am already getting looks when I drive through the city. I've got the Porsche lug caps and the spinners, now I just need some 20" style 87's.

I tested mine today with a spotter car and this was the result:

- 1st run, cruising at 65mph = rock steady
- 2nd run, cruising at 80mph = steady
- 3rd run, accelerated at full throttle from 0-90 and kept it at 90. They were spinning at 90. Don't know if the hard acceleration had anything to do with getting them spinning.
- 4th run, normal acceleration to 90 = perfectly steady.

So, IMO, they are doing their job just fine.

My 1st "Mod"?!

Received my Spinners today! Got home from chasing the ball, (an 84), and there they were!

Took this ol'clutzyfool about 5 mins to swap them out, and 3 mins of that was the effort to sit down & stand back up, 4 times, from the concrete gar. floor, . Damn those floors are getting hard.

Look Titz and spin nicely, coming to rest w/the BeamER Roundel, straight up and down. Thanks to Jerry and his Group Buy!

Hey! This is my firstfookingMod,
BR, the ol'StiffOne...except for...

Well Dan, thanks for the compliment...
But, I must admit that I am an "older dude", as in
58 this month. Here's a repeat pic of me and my
granddaughter from almost a year ago. She looks a lot
different; I haven't changed much, externally, .

Titz was sorta slang for cool back in the U, circa
'65 to '70...glad you picked up on that!

Smile Got 'em

Received mine yesterday. Placed the order on the 1st and received them on the 4th. Got home and my wife was holding the package and my face just lit up (I think I had gas). This is my first official "mod", now the only thing I have to do is wait for my ordered X5 to arrive (still no tracking number from dealer). The product looks great in the box and hopefully even better on my new X5. Thanks...
