Default Spinners, Anyone?
No, not those spinners! THESE spinners:




Any suggestions on how to mount something similar on the F-Type center cap hub? Has anyone even seen a F-Type with spinners? It might look terrible, for all I know...

They'd look fine with wire wheels, otherwise maybe not so much.

Found this on the net. Might be true.

FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards) outlawed any wheels or wheel covers with "winged projections" for 1968; that particular regulation was included in the FMVSS revisions due to Ralph Nader's efforts.

Someone, maybe you, posted this once before I was surprised how much I liked the look.

But the knock ons will only look right with wires, they will just look stupid on anything else.
