S555?

I was in Chattanooga today and saw a pimped out S500. It had a S555 badge on the left and a Lorinser badge on the right. It had several spoilers and light ground effects. It also had those cool double wheels that spin backwards. I have never heard of such a car. Looked like some serious machinery. Anyone heard of these?

later,

Poser/Ricer.... there is NO such thing as S555.... LOL.... Maybe he/she should just put S55555555555555555 all the way from left to right, and save the $$ on buying Lorisner badge(if the badge he/she had was legit)....

Davin Wheels?

I believe the rims Joegolden is talking about are the Davin Revo wheels.

Davin Revo Wheels



At $3,000.00 USD each rim (yes $3,000.00 each rim) they are quite an expensive accessory. I believe these rims were started and patented by Latrell Sprewell's shop,Sprewell Racing in So. Cal. When they first came out, about a year ago, they had a hefty price tag of $10,000.00 each rim, and one of the first customers was Shaq.

looks like another moving part that will require maintenance to me I wonder how often you need to change the oil in those things

One of em on the front stopped spinning and the rear one kept going. It was really mesmerizing. Everyone was looking as we headed up 24 to Nashville. The car had huge letters on the rear window. H D What the hell is that? Harley? Heavy duty? Car was from Memphis. Probably a country-rapper?
