New From AG Luxury Wheels, the AGL29 & AGL30, with concave Profile.

When new wheel designs hit the market, we are like little kids at Christmas, and just recently there hasn’t been anything to get excited over, well that was until the Luxury division of the Avant Garde factory (AG Wheels) decided to hit us with not one, but two new fresh wheel designs, and they are both absolutely stunning.

First up is the AGL29, with a little bit of inspiration coming from the old AC Schnitzer type 111, but with a more detailed spoke, centre bowl, it a stunning evolution of the original design, the wheel pictured is from the concave line up, with spec 2 profile.

Second up if the AGL30, a new mesh design, and it’s a beauty, it’s a real fresh looking design, again this design shown in the spec 2 concave profile, with machined finish with matte brushed windows & outer reverse rim.

Trafficstar STR Forged

As most people that follow our blog will know, we have been working with our good friends Amber Performance on the GTR wide body build, and it’s starting to gather a little bit of pace.

When Jason got hold of the authentic GT3 carbon Fibre aero kit, it was pretty badly damaged in some key areas, front bumper, rear bumper, front fenders, with one of the fenders also incorrect, but time is greatly on our side and this build is in no rush, whilst Lee Ayre at LA paints re constructs all of the panel work to their former glory.

With any great build like this, it needs the perfect ingredients, and we have always said wheels maketh the car, and it doesn’t get any better than our selection for this build, the Trafficstar STR, it really is a beauty, and for this particular GTR GT3 build, we have gone for Matte Black centre, Gloss black inner barrel and outer reverse rim, with liquid bronze for the centre cap and hardware, which gives a little clue to the colour the GTR will be finished in.

More details will follow, as the build progresses, but for now why not indulge in these rather beautiful pictures of the 13x21 Trafficstar STR.

Ford Fair Silverstone 2016

We may not have been at the Ford Fair show at Silverstone 2016 the past weekend, but our good friends JW Racing & Amber Performance were, showcasing some of the VAD products, particularly on their all new ford Focus RS MK3.

All of the demo cars have substantial mods, the Mustang we will cover in another post, as this is one eco tech Mustang that ticks all of the boxes.

The Focus RS MK3, they haven’t had long, but it hasn’t stopped Jason Hawes the proprietor, making some serious mods already, air box, remap, brakes, intercooler and other performance related goodies we will touch on in later posts, when we discuss the full BHP upgrade that JW Racing can offer, for the RS brigade.

For the show it was important to get the look of the car right, and Jason has worked wonders with his graphic design for the car, running from the front to the rear of the car, it really does stand out, and it’s given the RS a very racer look, which was the intention of course.

The wheels have been the next on the list for an upgrade, Jason did spec the car with the Ford Forged light weight wheel, but he always knew he would swap them, as we have been in discussions for a while, regarding, size, finish and design, and we had a few designs to choose from and as VAD work extremely closely with Avant Garde (ag wheels) , it was a no brainer, especially since the launch on the all new ART wheel design, which is short for Advanced Rim Technology, which is basically a flow formed cast wheel, which is as light and as strong as a forged wheel design, but less than half the cost.

With the wheel range chosen, it was time to look at the size, design and the finish, the size we chose to run was the 19”, so the standard tyres that came fitted to the Focus could be utilised, next up the hardest decision, choosing the design, we were torn with the M652 & M621, so Jason did the usual VAD trick and ran with a different design on one side of the car to the other, the M621 has been finished in brushed and silver, whilst the M652 has been finish in the Black and polished, we wanted the Anthracite, but unfortunately we didn’t have the time to wait for the wheels in this colour, but the overall look is just what the car needed, with both cars going down a storm at the show.

With lots further mods being discussed; we are looking forward to sharing the development of this awesome little beast.
