What Rangerfan, Haigha, and Mr. D. said.

Ditto.

Quick and easy install, looks great.

Thanks, Jerry.

Got mine in and put on and they look good. Has anyone noticed that they still spin or is that just me? I mean they don't spin as much but they still spin. I was under the impression that they should stay fairly still even while driving? Perhaps more counterweight is needed?

Your BimmerSpinners are certainly NOT supposed to spin!

They are bench tested here before shipping to an equivalent speed of 150 mph.

Please email me at [email protected] to discuss this.

I just ordered my set of Spinners...
as one of the orig knuckleheads instigating this GB,
I thought I better jump in, too!

Thanks to Shaka for digging and Jerry S for the GB
deal. By the bye, my PayPal deal acct will show up
under TheCEO's name, not mine. DaBoss/wife controls
most of what goes on here, .

Mine don't spin... which is why I get stopped/flagged in the Palo Alto/SF corridor (the NorCal BMW spotting capital) so often. I am super cruising with my almond latte at around 85 MPH on the 101 and the only thing that is not a blur of titanium or black on my X are me spinners... I LOVE IT.

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.

Man, we (myself included) have way to much time on our hands
