Wide Body V10 M6 in the making

Over the last 18 years or more we have been involved with some pretty spectacular wheel projects all over the world, we have had some great builds globally, the Australian market we have produced some great one off custom wheel builds, especially for the mighty HSV Holden VE model, building wheel widths most say aren’t possible, we love a challenge and it seems so does Joakim Edin from Sweden.

Joakim is building a very unique BMW E63 M6 V10 coupe, when we first spoke to him, he explained how he had scoured the market looking for a decent wide body off the shelf, but he was left extremely disappointed with what the market had to offer for his V10 powerhouse, so decided the only way he was going to get what he wanted, was to make his own, which he is in the process of doing, we just love customers like Joakim, not just his attitude of , “it’s not available, so I will make my own”, but the fact he has the capability to design and produce the body work to the exact look he has in his head, the guy has skills.

He has already built some formidable machines; one in particular has already been featured on the Speedhunters website, his amazing Jaguar XJR, a very unique build running a 20” wheel set up, with Accuair suspension.

As well as knowing what he wants in the way of body styling, the wheels have also been meticulously chosen to make sure the design is as he envisaged the overall look, and the VAD VF1 was his desired wheel of choice, a plain and simple but very effective looking five spoke design with the deepest concave we could get out of the 12x21 front wheels and the awesome 15x21 rear set up, hes basically got the rear wheel concavity for the front and the rear, and they look pretty awesome, with a brushed centre, exposed hardware and reverse outer rim, this is going to be one very special M6, and one we are proud to be involved with… roll on launch day, Hurry up Joakim

Lamborghini Aventador, AG Luxury AGL31

Every now and again a car build comes along and takes your eye. As the European Importer for the (Avant Garde) AG wheels brand there are always builds dropping through our email box and this particular build deserved its own post.

AVANT GARDE AG LUXURY AGL 31 9.5X21 Front and 13x22 Rear Spec 3 concave profile

Most of the people around the automotive trade will of heard the name MC Customs, out of Miami Florida, the conversions and customers are straight out of the top draw, and they smashed this one straight out of the park, it really is a jaw dropper.

This is Lamborghini range topper the Aventador, this one comes with a whole list of mods, but the one mod we want to discuss is the wheel choice, which is what makes this car stand out from the norm.

The wheels are from the AG Luxury line up, and the are the AGL-31, in spec 3 configuration, in sizes 9.5x21 front and a 13x22 rear, finished in the all new Monaco Brushed Bronze with a polished outer rim section, to say we love this Aventador is an understatement.

Speedwells, The Alloy Wheel Refinishers

If you’re from the west midlands and into the car scene, then you would of heard the name speedwells, one because he drives a very famous Red 800+ bhp widebody supra, and two because they are one of, if not the finest wheel refinishers this country has to offer, how do we know this, well we have been in the wheel industry for over 20 years, and we have used most companies that are supposed to specialise in the refinishing business, but have never been 100% happy with the finished product and neither have our customers, and as there seems to be a refinisher opening up weekly, we thought it was time to educate and help people with a great option on where to take your alloys for that high quality finish.

We have already covered the supra on many occasions in our blog, if you want a recap hit the link and read up on the finest home grown Supra this country has ever produced.

Read all about this beauty from our previous blog post.

His build shows not only his meticulous attention to detail, but also his extremely high quality standards, this standard is mirrored within his refinishing work, but you don’t have to take our word for it, the trophy haul from many shows across the country show that, to win the collection of trophies Iby has stashed away, it has had to be the best, and his wheel refinishing and workmanship qualities are no different.

Wheel refinishers, there are many around the country, as a wheel wholesaler / retailer we have possibly used them all, and what we can say is none of them come close to what Speedwells can do with a wheel, the added bonus is he can refinish or refurbish any wheel, own a 3 piece wheel and struggling to get it refinished properly like we have done so many times in the past, well not only does he specialises in the 1 piece wheel, but the 2 and 3 piece wheel too, no matter what the wheel, he will return to o.e. m quality standards, if not better.

There aren’t many people within the wheel refinishing industry that want to get involved with a 3 piece wheel, as its time consuming and not as easy as stripping a 1 piece, you have to be pretty meticulous and know what you are doing, and this is where Speedwells are a cut above the rest, he has 3 piece wheels on every car he owns, so he understands how they are put together, and what you have to do to repair or refinish, he is the only company we would let anywhere near our refinishing , and he is the exclusive VAD refinisher for all of our used wheels, we couldn’t recommend his workmanship and quality standards enough.

So if you have a 1, 2 or 3 piece wheels, that need bringing back to life, and you want a high quality job, then look no further, tell them VAD sent you, we can assure you of one thing, you will be happy you did.
