Definition: Twinkies(noun}: Tire rims. The term was derived from the way the automotive accesories spin independently of the wheel itself, even when the brakes are applied.
The isolation of the spinning accessories from the wheel is made possible by the presence of a roller bearing.
Twinkies are popular within the hip-hop community.
Pronunciation: twin-kees
