Abstract

A wheel has a hub, a rim, first and second supports supporting the rim around the hub, and a spinner rotatably mounted around the hub between the first and second supports. A spinner locking mechanism may be used to selectively lock the spinner to prevent rotation of the spinner with respect to the first and second supports, or unlock the spinner to allow rotation of the spinner relative to the first and second supports.
