Polaris RZR on Reaper Wheels Looks Like Edward Scissorhands

You might remember similar pieces of seemingly deadly metal from the past. They were fitted by the same guy, as a means to entertain and be entertained, on a Honda FourTrax ATV, and even on a Ford F-350. Now, they get their time under the spotlight thanks to an unlike pairing with a Polaris RZR and the frozen surface of a Minnesota lake.

Unlike the previous incarnations of these reaper wheels, which came in white and red, these ones are full-black and kind of remind us of an Edward Scissorhands on all fours. Only unlike Tim Burton character, this one is not into landscaping but shredding ice. Kind of, because as you’ll quickly see, metal is not that much of a match for ice and snow.

Once the RZR’s regular wheels are taken off and the reaper ones fitted, it’s white mayhem all around. The spiked metal makes a particularly unpleasant sound once it touches the snowy surface, but overall the contraption seems to be operating as expected. At least, there are no traction problems.

But then, of course, disaster strikes, as the spikes on the wheels begin to bend, and depending on what the driver hits, even break and fly off in spectacular shards. Nothing heart-stopping happens at the end, as in the guy eventually gives up driving the RZR like this, but for the few minutes that it lasted, the Scissorwheels sure looked menacing, as if ready to wreak havoc if need be in a world coming to an end.
