I got in 20 mins ago and hunted around on that link
Wagner pasted: it has no address or phone #, so I
just sent an email inquiry off to the company pitching
the desire for a "group buy" and asking for some kind
of discount.

I have no idea how the co.
would identify "us" via that not so secure PayPal
order site. (It keeps showing up on my 'puter as
not 100% secure with an "expired security Cert".)

NEway, that's my story and I'm waiting to hear
back fromt he BimmerSpinner people.

Also, this link from their site, shows the wheels
that the Spinner supposedly fits on; Style 69
wheels are not on that list. Though, I'm gonna
measure my caps and see if it is the "general fit."

http://www.bimmerspinner.com/centercap.htm

(Spinners in high school and college were young
women whom weighed 100 lbs or less, said the
ol'Troglodyte.)
I'll let ya'll know as soon as I hear from them.

They don't have style 87 listed as one of the wheels that these would fit, otherwise, I'd get a set too.

Not sure I "get" it? The center BMW roundel doesn't spin? How close do you need to stare at the wheel to realize this? These are not "bling" spinners like you might see on a Navigator in the hood.

Shaka, good PI work!

No reply to my email, yet...maybe your cage rattling will

It's a visual Gizmo, .
The Roundel stays stationary, even at speed,
and at rest, the Roundel is always "right side up"
and centered. Mileage may vary, :p
Jes' a gizmo. GroupGizmoItis!

Hey Shaka, since you seem to be doing the PI work on this, let us know if the caps will fit 4.6 and 4.8 wheels. If so, I'm in as I posted earlier......Phil

I believe I have style 168 wheels on my 05 4.8 and they do show that wheel as available.
