Finally, the first step towards eliminating all this tacky shit that's being introduced into the automotive industry. Next up, aftermarket altezzas, park benches, grape fruit launchers, etc.

I would never dream of putting them on my car, but what is their basis for wanting to outlaw them? I've never heard of them being any kind of safety hazard. IMO, this is just another example of intrusive government taking freedoms away.

I think it was something on the lines that people couldn't tell if the car was moving or not causing confusion and such...lol

I deplore the spinners but they can't be any tackier than some of the "performance" CF hood and wing crap you see on some of the new Civics.

I found this article:
http://www.leftlanenews.com/2007/02/...o-ban-spinners

Quote:
The SEMA Action Network is calling on citizens to pressure lawmakers to reject the bill. The car customization advocacy group says:
  • S.B. 1640 ignores the fact that custom wheels are not prohibited by Federal law and should not be restricted in New York.
  • S.B. 1640 ignores the fact that the Federal government rescinded the entire hub cap standard in 1996 when it was concluded that there was no safety problem relating to hub caps and that the standard was overly design-restrictive.
  • S.B. 1640 ignores the fact that manufacturers are required to notify the federal government of a safety problem or defect related to motor vehicle equipment within five days of becoming aware of such issue.
  • S.B. 1640 ignores the fact that spinner hubcaps have no proven detrimental effect on motor vehicle safety.
