We have been a little busy lately and have so many new products to discuss, t’s difficult to know where to start. With our amazing Z4 GT3 V8 now residing at our composite partners BAMD, this freed up our personal work load, as this is the company demo car that is being built to showcase what our collaboration brand Aspect GT can do, it’s a project that has not only take huge sums of money, but also a lot of our time. It still has a fair way to go, but it couldn't be in better hands than Adam the owner of BAMD Composites, he has a plan and will execute that plan to perfection, so that now allowed us to look after our new range of Forged wheels that we are happy to say I will be producing in Europe. We have decided to move production for a number or reasons, the first being we have been extremely loyal to a lot of the American brands over the last 10 or 15 years and unfortunately it’s not reciprocated, all we will say is unfortunately volume and turn over mean very little. We also want proper tested wheels with JAL, JWL, VIA & TUV certification, this is something American manufacturers can’t don’t or won’t offer, just having the product FET tested is no longer acceptable, we have lots of designs in all forged profiles and configurations, in all sizes, finishes and applications we will cover our new wheel line in a separate blog post at a later date.

Porsche 997 Bi Turbo "R" completed at Sleepers Speed Shop

One build we do want to discuss is our 997 “R” As one of our Porsche 997 Turbo “R” projects comes to a finish in California by our friends at Sleepers Speed Shop, our next bit of Porsche excitement is working with our good friend Speedwells. We have known Iby for such a long time, he is very much part of the VAD family, so we are pleased he has decided to build his dream car in the form of the Porsche 997 Turbo and fit the VAD GT3R aero pack, his 800 bhp wide body Supra known all over the world, so we can only imagine this Porsche build it going to be a pretty spectacular build, I just can’t wait to spec and build his next set of wheels for this up and coming build, it’s going to be a very exciting build to be involved with.

Keeping on the Porsche theme, we have finally manage to source one of our favorite ever Porsche products, the Kremer 935 K3 conversion and we are super stoked, it’s a huge conversion and a must for any 930 or 964 owner looking for something a little different, it’s the pinnacle conversion and the parts list is vast., and one conversion we would love to see on the UK roads.

Kremer 935 K3 can be based on 930 or 964 Porsche Chassis click the link to view the K3 , this is one very special conversion, one we would love to see on the street.

Another update on our Porsche parts is for the 996 chassis, we now have the RSR XXL wide body aero pack, it has a more aggressive font bumper, with vented front fender tops and houses 11” front wheels and 13” rear, this has not been added to our 996 aero product range.

Whilst we are discussing all things Porsche, we are soon to launch an all new wide body Cayman programme, which we will cover in an up and coming post. Email the team with any enquiries we will be more than happy to assist.

 

The McLaren F1 LM needs no introduction, it was in its day the pinnacle road racer, with beauty from any viewing point, it still looks as fresh today as the day it was launched, its one of our favorite cars of all time, so when we got a call to potentially work with one of our long time customers on a special build thats taking place, it was an offer we couldn't refuse.

We have worked with Mark from MJP racing for a number of years, making a few set of wheels for a number of his cars, the one that stands out was a set of our Trafficstar wheels on his Ultima GTR, Mark didn't want to follow the normal route of the standard old looking Ultima GTR wheel, he wanted fresh and modern, upsetting the purists along the way fit fitted our Trafficstar STR 9x19 front and 13x20 rear and it looked pretty spectacular.

He present project is pretty awe inspiring, most people are asking why you would change your original O.Z Chrono Magnesio wheel that you love, to a wheel design that will look the same, with the main reason being tyres and the rear size in particular, the 345/35R18 are like hens teeth, they are no longer manufactured, and the ones that are available are coming to the end of their DOT shelf life, so with a huge brake set up being manufactured for this project, it seemed like a no brainer to to make a larger wheel to house the new brakes and have a better tyre selection.

The wheel design will be an homage to the original O.Z classic 5 spoke, but will be 19" instead of the 18" original set up, we are building the wheel design in 3 piece configuration in 10" & 13" widths, centers will be ultra light weight forged magnesium, with titanium fasteners and all painted in anthracite to match the current set up, this is one wheel build that really excites us, more details will follow as the build happens, with a big shout out to Patrick from Litespeed Racing for stepping up to the plate for our request.

A few months back we gave an insight into a build that was happening with a very special BMW M6, and at last we are pleased to say the car has hit the streets and has been out and about at various shows, it not 100% finished and we do know that the kit is still off and on the car, as the rear bumper extensions are still being worked on, as Joakim perfects the fitment he wants with the aero kit.

Personally we would of preferred the none riveted look, but that’s just our own opinion as we aren’t a huge fan of riveted kits, but kudos to Joakim as he has built this car himself and this was the look he wanted, which is what this build is about, we were quite skeptical with how this car was going to turn out when he ordered his 12x21 front and 15x21 rear VAD forged wheels, but we have to say he pulled it off, we look forward to seeing this build progress over the coming months, as we have no doubt he will make changes to perfect this one off wide body M6.
