From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Free Spinning Wheel Spinner' A Free Spinning Wheel Spinner is a type of inner wheel ornament that will at times look similar to the wheels inner structure and then there are some that take a totally unique look if their own. Some even had fiber optics embodied within them that made them illuminates colors at night refracting from the chrome of the wheel and spinner. They spin independently of the wheel itself when the wheel of the vehicle was in motion, and then continues to continue to spin once the vehicle had come to a stop. The Free Spinning Wheel Spinner could be aftermarket product to be attached to the car's wheel or an entire integral wheel being one-piece. Free Spinning Wheel Spinner operated by using one or more roller bearings to allow the spinner to pick up speed and gain inertia allowing it to turn at a different speed of the wheel as the vehicle was in motion. The when the vehicle came to a stop the Free Spinning Wheel Spinner would continue to spin giving the appearance the vehicle was still moving and at times would have a hovering type look. Many seemed to think the only way the Free Spinning Wheel Spinners would spin was to use the wheels momentum overcome what little friction was transmitted through the bearing, but this is not so. Free Spinning Wheel Spinner also used the air drag around the vehicle to propel them as was very unique. The Free Spinning Wheel Spinner was much more technically advanced than was first given credit for at many illegal imitations rear Free Spinning Wheel Spinners would not even spin, since the front wheels of the vehicle turning back and forth were the main reason the front Free Spinning Wheel Spinner would spin so well, but this did not hold true for the rear wheels as there was no side motion to make them start to spin and then also being unbalanced imitations did not help neither. The way this unique problem was overcome was by tightening the bearings tolerance on the rear bearings only, and with the use of aerodynamics contributing to them solved the entire problem. The Free Spinning Wheel Spinners were popular within the hip-hop community of the United States and around the world and was a craze in the world of popular culture in the 2000's.

The Rolls-Royce Phantom has anti-spinners — the "RR" logo in the center of the hub is mounted on a spinner with an offset weight designed to ensure that the logo is always the right way up when the car is parked similar to one of Tru-Spinners spinning modes. The hubometers used on large trucks and buses that appear to run stationary as to count their miles, are actually enclosed and float in a liquid with anti-freeze as to be functional in severe low temperatures without freezing.

The monster truck Escalade and Annihilator use spinners specially designed for their large wheels and to take the large amounts of abuse. ...
