Why did spinning rims go out of style so quickly?

[MikeOck]

People found out they only look good in quick cuts on music videos. Seeing them in real life is a huge disappointment, they mostly look cheap as hell.

I represented that era to the T.
I had cornrows
a collection of air force ones
I had big loud subwoofers in my trunk.
I wore track suits with brands like wu wear, roca wear, and jeans from phat farm and shyt.
Throwbacks and fitted caps .
Short and button up combos
I looked like Jermaine Dupri most days

Stunt!!!! Stunting was a bad habit that I wasted so much money on when I was younger....the bishes loved it and it just felt good at the time to just shyt on the scene...But that was really just being flashy and like you said making yourself a target...shyt this car I have now is the first one I have that doesn’t have 20s or better on it since I was 16.. so I spent over 20 years buying rims beats TVs and outfits just to flex.

Just apart of being young and dumb

Saw a breh driving a Nissan Murano on 28's I was

Sprewells went to Davins. Davins went to DUB thus the DUB Floaters were born. I personally don't like floaters. Maybe one pattern but I'd rather not drive on em. Too much maintenance
