What happened to Wheel "Spinners"?

I haven’t seen any in a long while-even on the most blinged-out Escalade in town>
People tell me that spinners are expensive (up to $3000/set) and cause wheel balance problems on many cars.
I never got what the statement that people who had them were trying to express-was it just general love of chrome?
In any case, were these things ever made illegal?

Last week, man, so last week.

Tha pimps is goin tech.

Order Now!!
Next week will be too late.

I still see a few spinners around, might be a bit soon on the what ever happened to.

What ever happened to Whee-Lo?

Hokey Spokes for bicycles.

Why would they be illegal?

As others have said, they are simply out of style.

As for making a statement, I don’t think there was ever any.
