Abstract

A wheel spinner (10) for mounting on a rim of a vehicle wheel and enhance ornamental features of a tire. Direct current motors (64) cause rotation of the spinner independently from rotation of the tires. A user operates a remote control for sending a message to the drive motors to regulate the speed and direction of rotation of the spinner (10) independently from the tire rotation. A cover plate (10) secures the spinner to the rim of the vehicle wheel.
