If anything, spinners are good for NY.
8.75% sales tax on a $2000+ set of rims = $175 going to the government (local and state).
I don’t think it would be too much of a stretch to say there are probably at least 10000 cars in NY with spinners. That’s $1.75 million in sales tax.

just for the sake of making an argument i will throw this in; what do they care if 10000 or even 1000000 people have spinners in ny they already have the money from the sales tax for all them its not like they will be getting a refund for them, plus i doubt 10000 sets are sold each year.

Linky to story?
$2000? Thats dirt cheap for a set of “spinners”. Last I checked a set was ~$1500/wheel.
Of course, baller sets fetch upwards of $5k/per.
6000 * 0.0875 = 525
525 * 10,000 = $5.25M

How many sports players live in the STATE of NY?
How many rap stars? Rap star wannabes? and Rap star “crews”?
How many spoiled rich kids?
How many wanna be / posers?

I was driving down McKinley one day, and I saw one laying on the side of the road. I picked the thing up and it’s hanging in my shed wall now. 
Looked brand new, probably fell off on the ride home from Pep Boys. 99% of spinner hubcaps are now missing the spinning parts. I hope they don’t ban the caps or the rims. Then I can’t laugh at the $800 '91 Buick Regal with $4000 worth of rims.

:tup: How about they come up with a way to lower taxes and have better roads instead of dicking around with the No Spinners rule…well if we lose all of our sports teams…noone will want them anyway so I guess maybe its just a measure to reinforce that notion.

Because this is NY, and they would rather raise taxes and fine you for stupid things than actually do something productive and change.

Not that I love spinners (spinnaz) but this is completely unnecessary.
