Our Gift to Men on Valentines Day

We love wheels more than the average tuner. We always end up getting multiple sets for our projects cars because, we like to party, and you can never really have enough wheels. So, when our friends over at MHT sent us their customer’s custom painted 2014 Mercedes Benz SL550 v8 Bi-Turbo with custom Niche Essen wheels, we couldn’t help but share these drool worthy pictures. Not only is the SL550 the future in luxury convertibles but the performance this thing puts out, is uncanny. But with every new, insane car, comes the person who wants something better, something….Custom!

This customer up’d his game with a custom matte paint. He then made sure the the color and finish of his Essen wheels would compliment the custom color. The detail in the Essen wheels is something that the pictures don’t do justice. We had a set in the shop the other day, and the machined pattern in the wheel, makes these wheels the perfect finishing touch to this silver assassin. To make sure the wheels looked as good as possible, he upgraded his suspension with some H&R springs and wrapped those custom wheels with Continental Tires 245/35/20 – 285/30/20.

These pictures are our present to every man out there doing some, not so manly, things out there today… Enjoy!

East Coast Evo gets Fitted

The Evo X has been one the most popular tuner cars to hit the market in years. Between the EVO X, FRS, and WRX, the tuner market has seen some crazy mods and even crazier photoshoots. With everyone becoming a photographer thanks to Instagram and other social platforms, we get to see these amazing cars posing in their element. This EVO X can go from being the car next door, to an eye piece in time square. To upgrade the already stellar look, this customer worked with our sales guy Dado (dado@vividracing.com ext. 236). To give this car the aggressive edge it was looking for, they went with a set of flush Work Meister M1R wheels in Platinum Gold. These Golden M1R’s are set at an aggressive 18×10.5 +15 in the front and 18×10.5 +12 in the back.

If you’re up in the air about what wheels would look the best, call into one of our sales people and they will be able to help you get the perfect setup for you.

Avante Garde Kills It with New M510 Fitments

Avant Garde did a soft launch for their M510 wheels. It went way better than they thought and they are now bulking up on those fitments for incoming inventory. They’ve been working hard to keep all fitments in stock as well as adding fitments for additional vehicle applications. The M510 has proven to be a wheel that looks good on every build.  It’s a design that is at home on everything from a full-size SUV to a full-on show car. Scroll down to see the pictures they sent us from their most recent shoot. 

We have introduced new 21×9″ and 21×10.5″ options for both 5×112 and 5×120 vehicles. As you can see below, these new sizes are optimized for vehicles such as the current Audi A7/S7 or BMW 5-series. There is also a new 21×9″ / 21×11″ setup engineered exclusively for Porsche fitment. In addition to this, we have introduced more offsets for the existing 19″ sizes. For those looking to learn more details, the specific offsets for each bolt pattern email sales@vividracing.com and we can tell you about inventory and get you setup with the perfect pair for your car.

Wheels on, Wheels on, Wheels

We thought what better way to celebrate Memorial Day and say thank you to our military,  then to look at some great wheel setups. We gave you a sneak preview of these last week. This Porsche 997TT looks like it gets pulled over a lot. This beautiful piece of machinery would stand out in a sea of red. The 997TT is lustrous already, but slapping these 20″, flush, CV13′s on it, is the perfect way to accentuate the legendary shape of the 997TT. The front are 20 x 9 and set with a shallow concave, the back are 20 x 13 and have a deep concave to give that depth and alacrity to the look.

The next set of sexy D2 Forged wheels are on a sleek, all black, Audi A7. This Audi owner got these as, what he calls, a “true homage to the ‘Dark Knight.’” The rim of the 22″ CV2′s give a futuristic feel and all together it’s the perfect combination of fitment, color selection and design.

The next car is one loved all over the world. The Audi RS6 Avant. The unassuming hatchback is actually a beast on the road. By looking at it you would think Audi fell asleep on the design. That is until, you meet one of these cars on the road. When you’re being smoked by the “soccer mom” looking car, don’t be surprised it’s a brainchild of Audi. D2 Forged claims this is one of the crazier projects they’ve worked on. We think the Monoblock MB1′s give this sleeper the credibility, that the overall design lacks. What do you think? Tell us in the comment section below, or on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

The last setup is a teaser, more pictures will be coming in the future. Until then, you’re going to have to just drool over the one. The Corvette C5 is a true American treasure. This American icon gets blinged out with some 20″  FMS05′s. Who would you take, purely off of look? The Porsche 997TT in the red or the C5 in the red? Want your own set of D2 Forged? Use our MEMORIAL DAY COUPON CODES this weekend (May 24-27, 2013) to get a set of your own.

Sexy Flush Wheels for a Porsche 993 and a BMW M3 E91 Wagon

Working with different vendors all over the world, sometimes there are complications with an order, a shipment or the fulfillment of an order. We pride ourselves on having amazing customer service. For this Porsche 993 Carrera S owner from Sweden it was a rock road to find hi perfect setup. When he notified us of the problem, our sales guy Sean (sean@vividracing.com ext. 226) swooped in to help make sure that he got exactly what he was looking for, and that we did everything in our power to make any wrong, right. When it was all said and done, here’s the email we got from him,

“Hi, Sean.

Don’t know if you remember, but you helped me resolve an issue with non-deliverable rims for my Porsche 993 Carrera S like 8-9 months ago. It all ended with me buying a set of BBS LM-Rs, which you found at the US importer and one of which was black. After a long winter here in Sweden, and far too much at work to attend to. I have finally had time to custom paint them, experiment with various spacer combos and eventually had everything perfectly fitted. I enclose a couple of pictures, so that you can see the end result.

Although this was a long journey, seeing the final result it was all worth it! I am 100 per cent happy, and convinced that the 18 inch regular LM’s I had first ordered wouldn’t have looked half as good. And if one rim hadn’t been black, I probably wouldn’t have even considered custom painting all four, which decidedly is sweeter than the stock silver finish.

So again, a million thanks!!!”
