Every now and again we get cars come up for sale, from friends, customers and other business from around the world, unfortunately due to time and our busy schedule it’s just not possible to list them all, we are working on a self upload application that we hope to integrate into our website some time at the start of 2017, so we can help more people find their ultimate modified whip, it will take a bit of time to develop, but it’s on our list of things to do.

One car that has come up for sale over the last couple of weeks, is our good friend Julio Garcia, incredible and we mean I N C R E D I B L E Audi R8, it's done the rounds all over social media, especially Instagram, most instagramer’s will know him as AIR_R8, and for those that don’t know the man or the car, this was the very first bagged air ride Audi R8 to hit the streets stateside, so the guy has his finger well and truly on the pulse when it comes to style and fineness, from any viewing point this R8 is just sublime.

Audi R8 20'' AG Luxury AGL24

As we have got to know Julio over the past couple of years we can tell you he has spared no expense building this fine specimen of Audis finest, it’s been through 4 sets of wheels that we know of, and the air ride system install is second to none, its quality of the very highest calibre, the stance of this beauty sits is awe-inspiring.

Even though we knew about the car, it wasn’t until the first set of AG forged wheels that we really started to take notice, the directional spoke of the F433, finished in gold bullion looked absolutely on point, concave spec 2 profile centres, it was such a great look, so we were pretty surprised when Julio said he was changing them, we didn’t think the look could be improved, but we were wrong, the wheel of choice was an vast improvement in the form of the AGL24 from the AG Luxury arm of the company, we would like to think we were of some assistance in his new choice, as a few weeks previously we were the first company to have this design manufactured, for Plush Automotives very own carbon Fibre Audi RS6, the colour was also perfect for the white body R8, with brushed Grigio centres and gold bullion flange, hardware and cap.

For more details on the car and for full spec, drop us an email and we will put you in direct contact, if you are in the market for one of Audi’s finest, this is one stunning R8 that is worth taking a closer look at.

The luxury arm of AG Wheels ( Avant Garde ) have released yet another new wheel design, THE AGL34 and this time around it's been released in 1 piece Monoblock, which they have done from time to time this year, and we can see it's going to be a popular design, especially in the SUV , and Luxury vehicle market.

We love a six spoke wheel design at VAD, we have our own design that has done exceeding well over the last 18 months, and the AGL34 design is going to be a wheel in demand.

The first vehicle to test ride the design is the mighty new Range Rover Sport, and the finish shows the design off perfectly, the size fitted here is 10.5x22 front and rear and really shows the concave profile of the monoblock, the Monoblock is becoming a very popular forged choice in today’s wheel market as it has so many plus benefits, super strong, and lighter than any other forging, shedding the unsprung weight has a big advantage with any vehicle application, especially the larger vehicles, we can see this design adorning a lot of vehicles and looking right at home.

As with all AG Wheel design the AGL34 will be available in all of the usual monoblock size 19” 20” 21” 22” & 24” staggered set ups are available, with 2 piece duoblock and 3 piece configurations also being added to the line up, the 3 piece option you get the added advantage of standard or concave, with the various spec 1, spec 2 & spec 3 choices available in the concave profile, the finish choice is endless, it’s a design we are very much looking forward to seeing on a lot more vehicles in various configurations.

 

The Speedwell Supra, owed by our good friend Iby, it’s a showcase not just for his skill set but his company too, he puts life back into worn out alloy wheels, he is the ultimate wheel restorer, and is extremely good at what he does, just think of a colour and he can make it happen, including one off colour and bespoke finishes, and the good thing is he caters for all wheels from oem wheels to 2 and 3 piece forged splities, he can pretty much restore any wheel back to original, all wheels are dry painted and finished to perfection, so next time you need your wheels refinishing, look him up and tell him VAD sent you, we promise you will not be disappointed.

Speedwell wide body Toyota Supra

The car itself needs no introduction, that is unless you have been living under a rock with no internet or wifi connection, we have featured it a couple of times over the last few years in various disguises, it must be one of Europe’s most posted Supra's across the media networks, its lit our feeds up this years more than any other Supra around the world, but what we can say is we haven’t seen one picture of this car that does it justice, not one, in the metal this is mind blowingly good, with the kit is a complete one off, well it was... until now.

Since we can remember we have been hounding iby to reproduce the kit, as we have had so many requests, he had also been inundated with request too, so he has finally stepped out of his manic schedule and pulled the trigger, and will be available to buy over the next few months, and you can buy it right here at VAD.

The kit will feature the usual wide body aero parts, front bumper, front splitter, front wider fenders, side skirts, rear wider quarter panels, rear bumper with integrated diffuser.

With any wide body project you will need the wheels to suit, you can fit 17” 18” 19” or if you desired 20” will fit with slight mods, but 20” as long as you run 10.5” front and 13” rear with suitable width tyres, other upgrades will be required, suspension, with fitting and painting required to completed look.

If you fancy this unique wide body look for your Toyota Supra, drop us an email, or get in touch, and we will hook you up with what has to be the ultimate supra conversion on the market.
