I think those wheels run in the neighborhood of $10,000 a set!!!!

I know you didn't ask for an opinion on those wheels... just the name.... BUT, I'm gonna give you an analogy...

Ya know when you see people wearing those silly (dumba$$) beany hats.... ya know? The ones with the per-pillars? And you think how stupid they look? Or at least you can't take them seriously? Well, that's how I think of those wheels....


...sorry, just my opinion... especially at that price.

KMC has their own version of the spinning wheel...

It looks similar to the davin wheel, but much cheaper.



Search for KMC wheels on www.google.com

The only ones i know of are Davin, some companies make that adapter to look like you have the spinning wheels. Davins only come in 20's and are like 10,000 minus the tires which you will get raped on because 20's are ridiculously expensive. Also these wheels way like 45 lbs each before tires, thats gonna make your steering so heavy and you are gonna loose so much power and gas mileage just trying to push them wheels.

Here is my favorite description of those wheels!

It's just a shady gimmick. It's like when a person is running his arms are moving. When he comes to a stop his arms stop moving; you would look like a dumbass if you don't stop moving your arms.
