I am very lucky to have a new 2013 GT convertible. I am placing factory chrome wheels with chrome spinners. My thinking is that the chrome spinners 'might' be way over the top with the great design of the car overall. But for those who might have spinners on your Mustangs, may I ask, are they easily a stolen item, or more important yet, can they come loose and spin off, dreading to think that they might cause side body damage? Any/all thoughts, suggestions will/would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!!

Aside from the fact that you are in the wrong forum, I still cant help but feel if I dont respond to this thread I will be doing every mustang lover past present or future a huge dis-sevice. No you should not in any way put spinners on ANY kind of mustang or any car for that matter. They will look horrible on a mustang, and my guess nobody would steal them in fear of being laughed at.


Piece of advice go out and buy an old school regal if your looking to put spinners on something, dont ruin a perfectly good Mustang.

I'd rather he didn't ruin a regal either.

Even so, they are still hideous. Why not add some neon lights, fart tube exhaust and a 3 foot wing while your at it. It will look like this putz.
