Hot Import Nights 2013 Phoenix Photo Coverage

Hot Import Nights (HIN) rolled through Phoenix, Arizona this past weekend and Vivid Racing was there for it all.  HIN shows are filled with the best of the “stance” movement vehicles, import models, and some serious dance music.  Vivid Racing displayed its Project BMW M5 car along with a mini display of Status Racing seats and Agency Power parts.  Several other cars were there repping the Vivid Racing logo as well.  The show definitely proved that Arizona has some serious players in the tuner car scene.  All these photos are courtesy of Cody Gephart.  Check out our other event photos here.

BMW X5M Meets Vorsteiner, Niche, and Meisterschaft

When you got money, you spend money.  Why else would you need to trick out a SUV.  What once was a soccer moms alternative to a mini van is now a super awesome pavement grinder that can stack up to some of the best cars on the market.  The BMW X5M V8 twin turbo is just as tuneable as other turbocharged vehicles.  With a little juice from a Velos ECU flash and a Meisterschaft exhaust, the X5M is pushing some serious ponies.  Just to prove its power, the owner went to a private airstrip and raced his buddy in a Ferrari California…  End of the day is he can win drag races and haul the family!

In addition to the performance parts, Performance Specialist Josh dressed up the car with a set of Niche 3 piece A250 Pulse wheels.  The wheels have a matte black face with a gloss black lip and inner barrel.  To keep it clean, the 22×10 and 22×12 wheels feature hidden hardware as well as deep concave faces.  Niche wheels made by MHT in Southern California is the actual manufacture of many other wheel companies providing that high quality with quicker lead times and better pricing.  Check out all the Niche 3 piece and monoblock wheels here.

Nissan GT-R Track Wheels from Velocity Motoring

The Nissan GTR was designed to be the ultimate street car and certainly proved it by setting a Nurburgring lap record back in 2008.  For the past 4 years the GT-R has been one of the most popular tuner vehicles.  Equipped with state of the art on-board telemetry, giant Brembo brakes, and a 3.8L twin turbo engine, the GT-R is basically “Ready to Race”.  However with tracking the car comes alot of abuse and need for an extra set of track wheels and tires.  This is why our local Phoenix customer Wes decided to get these Velocity Motoring wheels for his track days.  Even though the GTR comes stock with 20 inch wheels, Wes decided to go with a same size 19 inch set to get better availability of race rubber.  The Velocity Motoring (VMR) wheels are the V710 7-Split Spoke design featuring a deep concave face.  The wheels are 19×11, 5×114.3, +25mm finished in a matte black.  When it comes to race rubber, now the doors are open for Toyo R888, Nitto NT-05, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup, and more.  Check out more Nissan GTR Power Parts and GTR Wheels here.
