When shopping around for spinner rims you will have many options. You can usually buy them as a set with wheels and tires or if you already have your car rims they you can buy them as attachments.

If your car is only front wheel drive don’t give up yet. Do some research on the Internet but there are a range of companies that are producing spinners for cars with front wheel drive.

Getting your spinners on the Internet
Like most products and services car rims too can be researched, compared, and then easily bought over the Internet. The quality websites will often have photos, videos, and reviews of the wheels you’re thinking of purchasing. So when looking for spinner rims on the Internet you’ll have no shortage of options to choose from. Just remember before you make your final buying decision to make sure that you’re dealing with a reputable company that has been around for a while.

When you’re already spending so much on purchasing nice car rims and tires to put on your car the last thing you want to do is neglect and not take proper care of them.


You want your rims to stay shiny and in top condition just like the day you mounted them. The reason you bought custom rims in the first place is to make your ride stand so the last thing you want to end up with is dull, rusty, or dirty looking wheels.

If you want to protect your investment and keep your rims in top notch shape you should be cleaning them about once a week – don’t get lazy. There are a whole bunch of car rim cleaning sprays available on the market for you to use. Ask around and find out which sprays, waxes, and cleaning methods are the best for your particular brand of wheels.

When washing your wheels be sure not to clean them the same way that you would wash your car. Take you time and do one wheel at a time. With many sprays and waxes it isn’t good to let them sit on the rim for too long because it can actually cause some damage to the wheel depending on the spray you have chosen and the car rims material.

Where you have your car parked is also a fact to consider when thinking of how to keep your car rims clean and take good care of them. If you do have the option of keeping your car in an indoor garage that would probably be the best option. If not you can also consider buying some tire covers to protect your shiny babies from dust, sand, and other elements of the harsh environment.

One more thing to consider is the type of material you use when cleaning your custom wheels. You aren’t going to want to use anything to rough like scouring pads. It is recommended to use soft cotton based cloth or specific rim cleaning brushes that you can easily find and car rims and tires stores.

Good luck and remember to protect you hard earned investment by taking proper care of your custom wheels and looking after them constantly.
