"Salad Spinners"

When the fourth-generation Camaro debuted in 1993, it featured a newly designed, unique wheel design that GM continued to use until 1996, when it was retired in favor of a new simpler design. Over time, the 1993-1996 OEM 16" Camaro wheel became affectionately known on the internet as the "salad spinner" because of its directional design and resemblance to a salad spinner (i.e., a device used to remove water from wet lettuce). Of note, while the wheel design appears to be directional, only one direction was manufactured by GM for both sides of the car. Today, this design is among the least desirable of the used Camaro wheels, and therefore is inexpensive and popular for motorsports enthusiasts seeking wheels for mounting race tires, where aesthetics are generaly emphasized less than sheer value and performance.
