VAD VM1 Forged 2 piece

This week has seen us take delivery of a set of our Forged VAD VM1 wheels for our good friend Sean, that will be fitted to his amazing Speedwells Wide Body Toyota Supra, and we are happy that he was so persistent with this design, its getting on a bit and we did try and influence our all new Version 2 of the wheel, but he stuck to his guns and was relentless in his pursuit of our original design.

This particular wheel design is now the best part of seven years old, but it still looks fresh in today’s market, it’s a design that looks good on any vehicle, you just cant go wrong with a mesh style design, its no wonder that BBS stick to their tried and tested design.

13x19 2-Piece VAD Forged VM1, Matte Black Centre, Gloss Black Rim

The VM1 comes in various configurations and what we have added to our line up over the last few years is 2 piece version, which is lighter and less prone to leaks than its 3 piece brother, as well as being a slightly cheaper option, available in all of the concave profiles, we prefer the look of the spokes having the extended legs, rather than when the spokes sit on top of the flange of the wheel, but this concave configuration of the extended legs is a heavier set up so its personal choice depending on the look you want and the intended application.

We offer this design in 18” 19” 20” 21” & 22” with a 24” option available on request, available now in 1, 2 or 3-piece construction with a super lightweight forged magnesium 2-piece option now available in 18” 19” & 20” sizes, for road or track use.

BonnerFX gets up close and personal with the APAC built VAD wide body GTR

The APAC wide body VAD GTR was completed a few weeks back, and we are pleased to say it went down extremely well, but all car launches need a bit of "je ne sais quoi" and James from Bonner-FX add just that.

APAC Wide body VAD Design GTR GT1, By Bonner FX

The APAC crew are well known for their high quality work, and you can tell just from the images that the guys uploaded on a daily basis across their media platform that this conversion oozes perfection, its their signature quality that the company is renown for, James job was to make sure he captured this extremely high that on film and with the photoshoot, and doing what James does best we would say, its mission accomplished, when perfection meets perfection, magical things happen.

Its been great teaming up with the guys at APAC and Bonner-FX on this build and we look forward to the next one, maybe our Ichiban GTR GT3RR could be the next contender, watch this space.

Magnesium Forged Wheels

For the past few months, we have been involved in a rather exciting GTR build, that GTR belongs to our good friend Anthony Gaylard, most GTR, in fact, most car enthusiasts will know all about Anthony's rather epic GTR and his 2017 assault around the famous green hell, the Nordschleife, aka, the Nurburgring, with the guys from Lichfield Automotive and their push to crack the 14.2-mile circuit in under 7 minutes which they achieved.

Although we are privy to the build, we cannot report much at the moment, as the build is being kept well under wraps, plus we have been sworn to secrecy, but what we can talk about is the GTR will be running some of our carbon fibre aero goodies along with our Forged Magnesium 2-piece wheel.

The wheel measures 12.5" in width and 21" in diameter, offsets are bespoke for the build, but we need aggressive offsets to fill out the extra 4" of width front and rear that the new parts give, so we are pleasantly surprised at the wheel coming in just under the 11 kg in weight, the benefit of using magnesium forged wheels.

12.5x21 Forged Magnesium Wheel

Not only do magnesium wheels weigh significantly less than a forged aluminium wheel, the weight is merely the starting point, forged magnesium wheels have superior benefits over aluminium forged wheels, which also include a lower unsprung rotating mass, a lighter wheel is much easier to spin and to stop, due to a lower momentum of inertia, improved acceleration, shorter stopping distance, better handling, longer life for brakes, tyres and all suspension components, as well as better braking efficiency, magnesium wheels also allow for faster heat dissipation which prevents overheating of the wheel and tyre assembly.

This is one GTR we cannot wait to share with the world so if you wish to follow the launch then check back in for updates as they happen next week when the car is released and goes racing.

Our Magnesium forged wheels are available in a huge range of sizes, 18" 19" 20" 21" with a huge range of widths, finishes and applications, we also offer a hybrid 2 piece wheel with forged magnesium centre and a carbon fibre barrel, please get in touch with us for more details on our line up and what we can do for your road or track vehicle.
