Absolutely Amazing

I just thought i would share this event with you guys.....

I'm driving down the road today and i see a New Trans Am Ram Air stopped at the stop light and guess what??

His Rims decided that didn't want to stop spinning........This looked ABSOLUTELY AMZAING......

There is something they call "The moonwalk" you can do......See these rims don't stop spinning forward when you stop driving......So you can actually drive in reverse, but have your rims spin forward........Jeez, some people have TOOO MUCH money.....

Look at the pic for yourself...

Hmm... I have to honestly say (please nobody take offense to this you gotta understand the town I come from and that I don't mean anything bad by it just being honest) .... I've never heard a white guy say those were cool, I'll put it that way.

wow this is funny.as it happens to be i just saw some of those up close and personal yesterday.i work at valvoline instant oil change till i get a real job,and in comes rollin a 2002 Yukon Denali with those exact rims on it.and it happens to be that owner of the truck was none other than a local basketball star turned NBA player.his name is John Wallace.he played at Syracuse then was drafted to the Knicks,and later on to Toronto.i dont know if any of you have heard of him,but everyone naturally knows about him where i live.but anyways........
i personally thought the rims were cool and if i could ever afford a nice SUV like a Denali,i would definetely be willing to drop 10000 on a set of those.and yes i AM WHITE.as white as LaLa man!!:lala: :lala: :lala:

I saw rims like that on MTV cribs when they interviewed Spreewell. I forgot how to spell it, but anyway. Those were rims were pretty cool. They cost something like $5,000 for the 22's or something like that. Those are the most attention grabbing wheels I have ever seen. I like attention drawn too my car, but not so much that people would want to take stuff off of my car.

If you spend that much on rims......I really hope you park that car inside a garage with an alarm......

But then again, they are VERY rare, it's not like they can put them on their car and expect to get away with it.......

People who own rims like that don't usually use that car as a daily driver and hence they rarely leave their car parked long on a street that did not have valet parking.

I don't think there is a website for them. I wonder if they are making knock offs yet.
