Spinner hubcaps, just pop'em off & throw'em in da ride when you ain't there, J/K

Sorry, man, I've got no idea, maybe wheel locks.

Safety-wire the non-rotating part of the hubcap to the wheel in three or four places. Don't forget to put a pair of wire-cutters in with the spare tire!

Nobody's bothered mine. Just park in the garage...

Sure they're a joke, why do you guys get so serious about them?

Like it's going ro tarnish the Scion image and bring everything down...

I'll probably slap them on my wife's Grand Caravan when I get my wheels. :twisted:

Stealing someone's spinner hubcaps is like beating a Kia in a drag race. Even if you do it, you don't tell anyone about it!

I dig them.

Found these on J.C. Whitney:

Kinda spendy though, I've seen cheaper types before in auto parts stores.
