I'm not bothered by 20's or 22's in general....but that color = yuck & rims sticking out like that = stupid. First bump or heavy dip = bye bye fenders.

Uz can shoot me but this back woods woodhick actually likes it...and worse yet I love the colour...but I have always liked bright shiney things...I do think it would look nicer with normal MM wheels...to me our wheels are about the nicest stock wheels I have ever seen...period...but spinners are cool with me...willie

I just ralphed on my keyboard. The color might be cute on a VW Beetle, but not on a Marauder.

Those won't last too long.
Spinners are going to be outlawed by next year.
Several innocent bystanders have been killed by spinners.

There is alot to be said about being able to rent wheels and tires, alot to be said.
I could put up with the color, but those wheels.... no I just can't do it.

Why would anybody do that ? I just don't understand it.

He/she did it because he/she wanted to, and could.
Ain't America great? But, I concur ...not for me, thanks.

I didn't know about the things exiting the rim and killing bystanders, though. I'm guessing the retailers and manufacturers will be doing everything possible to get those flying buzz-saws off the road as soon as possible.

Do I hear giant lawsuit here? :beatnik:

From an artistic standpoint:
The spinners are painted to match the car.
The chrome rims have been shadowed to produce the effect that spinners were originally meant to accomplish Namely, the illsuion that the car is moveing when stopped and stopped when moving.
I hate the chrome on chrome spinners. What's the point. I can still see the wheel spinning at the proper speed. Where's the illusion.

I would actually finsigh this car with high-intensity greed LED's behind the wheels and green neon out the wazoo. I wouldn't drive it. It's not my taste. But, it would be 'complete' from a show and shine standpoint.

To each his own, but in my opinion, this dude gets props cuz at least it all matches.

To this cat's defense...at least he had the sense to get the higher end spinners....he kind that are made like that in one piece...not the ones you bolt on.

While yes we are harsh on his color choice, he should also be aware enough that people are going to comment on his customization and not all comments are going to be positive.

While that color of green is not my cup o' tea, I do admire his vision of his Marauder.

I wonder if this guy will come back slamming the "improvement" resulting from all the aftermarket badging, stick-ons, decals or whatever for example... I bet this guy just loves that car.

I just have to say I like the car. The color works for me. Nice job.

The wheels may be a tad wide but that's a really minor point and only my opinion. Hey, it's still cool and most importantantly, it is a Marauder.

Just an observation on spinners. I do think they are nifty but they also are a distraction. If I'm tired and lookin around quickly, they can confuse me into thinking a stopped car is moving for a moment or two.
