Default No-spin spinners?

Well, we've all seen at least one car with "spinnahz" by now, and personally, I thought it was a pretty funny joke on the people that bought them, with the punchline being their ridiculous cost. But there seems to be another breed, a type of spinner rim that doesn't spin. When I first saw this vid I thought they were just spinner rims that had broken somehow, but now it seems that this wasn't an isolated case.

WTF? Looks like the wheel is stationary...that's actually somehow cool to me in a stupid-as-hell sort of way. Interesting concept.

I saw those a while back and those get a hella lot more double take than the regular spinners...

It's like floating. I think i would take those over spinners If I HAD to get ghetto rims

Yeah, I actually prefer them to the originals. I think it's a more interesting effect.
