Nate Clements | Hummer H2 on 26s

Last time we had Nate Clements on the blog, his wife had customized a 2010 Camaro SS for him as a birthday present. Here we have him standing in front of his  2006 Hummer H2. The Hummer was customized by Tommy and the boys over at California Wheels in San Jose.

The Hummer is sitting on 26″ Asanti 402 chrome wheels with 7″ lips! Usually, a deep lip for the front of the wheel does not look good but in this case it works. These Asantis with 7″ lips look good on SUVs like this and the Range. The tires are 315/40/26 Pirellis.

As if these 26″ Asantis werent expensive enough, there is a 5th in the back as a spare!

Vernon Davis – Black Bentley Continental GTC

Vernon Davis has a lot of cars. Here is his convertible Bentley Continental he had customized at California Wheels in San Jose, CA. It has 22″ Forgiato Estremos with a 4″ lip in the front and a 5″ lip in the rear. It also has smoke tail lights, tinted windows, and had some engine tuning done.

I like the chrome lip because it shows off the deep lips. I think he should have had the center painted chrome and black two tone instead of all black.

Overall, very good job by California Wheels and very good job by Vernon Davis once again.

Quinton Rampage Jackson’s Car – Audi R8 on 22s

Quinton Rampage Jackon, the UFC fighter, crashed his car earlier this week. This is what the car looked like before the accident. It has gloss black and high polished 22s with a high polished lip.

This is one of the best looking cars out there and these wheels look very good on the car. I like the staggered set up and the deep lips. The only problem I have with the wheels are the step lips. Step lips are a very old style and dont look good on these kinds of cars.

After the accident, Rampage said, “I am fine, the little old lady is fine, but my car got hurt, and for that I’m sad.”

The Game’s Bentley Continental GT

This is The Game’s black Bentley Continental GT with 22″ gloss black wheels with red pinstripes. The car emblem is painted red along with the custom red “B” center caps. He also has his “THE GAME” logo in the trunk of the Bentley.

I’m not a fan of the mesh split spoke design wheel on a Bentley, a full face wheel would look much better.

Andrew Bynum – Nissan GTR

Andrew Bynum is a true car fanatic. He customizes all of his cars at Platinum Motorsport in Los Angeles. This is his super fast Nissan GTR that is going to be featured on the cover of Super Street Magazine. The wheels are 22″ matte black Agetros which match the car perfectly. The best part about this car is the amazing body kit with the carbon fiber trim.

I dont understand why the front license plate says “Giant Killer” since he would be the Giant at 7 ft tall. Either way, the car is bad ass.

Nate Clements 2010 Silver Camaro SS

After hearing about the Tiger Woods “situation” all month, I came across a really nice story about an athlete and his wife. Nate Clements of the San Francisco 49ers is one of the true lock down cornerbacks in the NFL. His wife went and bought a brand new 2010 Camaro SS for him and had it customized by California Wheels to give to him as a suprise birthday gift.

The wheels are 22×9 and 22×10.5 Asanti AF144s with a two-tone face, red pin stripe, with a 4″ lip in the front and 5″ lip in the rear. The tires are Toyos – 255/30/22 and 285/30/22. The Camaro also has an eibach lowering kit, flowmaster exhaust system, red brembo brakes, custom phantom grille, smoked lights, and tinted windows.

The best part of the car is the red suede interior with the custom designed “LOCKDOWN 22″ head rest logos. Im really feeling the silver and red combination on this car, everything is very clean.

Allen Iverson’s White Bentley GT

Allen Iverson just came out of retirement to sign with his old club, the Philadelphia 76ers. It seems to be just a move to get some people in the seats at the Wachovia Center. He is seen here leaning on his white Bentley Gt with 22″ chrome wheels. I can’t make out what kind of wheels they are because of the Custom Bentley Center Cap.

AI kept it simple with this car with just all chrome wheels and tinted windows. Seems to be about a 4″ lip in the rear. Nothing spectacular but it looks good.

Rapper Richie Rich has a Porsche Cayenne

Rapper Richie Rich Porsche Cayenne

For those of you who dont know, Richie Rich is the rapper who sings the song “I Got Five On It”. He has a very nice car with his 2009 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. But he has a set of 24s on it which kind of ruin the point of having a Porsche Cayenne Turbo.

The wheels are 24″ GFG Biscayne wheels, the GFGs are Giovannas 3-piece line. They have a brush center with black lines and a black lip. These wheels would look good on a Bentley or Rolls Royce but not a Cayenne. California Wheels also painted the modlings, added exhaust and tail pipes, and did the engine tuning.

Great wheels and a Great car but they just dont go together.

Vote on Vernon Davis’ 2 Escalades

Escalade

Vernon Davis White Escalade

Escalade EXT

Vernon Davis White Escalade EXT

I’ve never seen this before. The 49ers superstar tight end, Vernon Davis, has two Escalades that are customized in the same exact way. The only difference is that one is a full size Escalade and the other is an Escalade EXT which is basically the pickup truck version. California Wheels hooked him up with 26″ Giovanna Dalar Wheels with Pirelli tires. They both have Strut Grilles with black mesh along with smoked tail lights and tinted windows.

Im not a big fan of this design and think it makes the wheel look like 28s on this car and makes it look like a joke. I also dont like that their is no lip on the wheels. No lip designs only look good on sports cars not SUVs on 26s.

Must be nice to have an NFL salary, cant decide on which model of a car to get? Just buy both!

Bid on Sharon Stone’s Ford LTD Convertible!

Sharon Stone 1972 Ford LTD

This is our 100th post and it is a good one.

Sharon Stone is donating her 1972 Ford LTD Convertible to charity. The proceeds go to a great cause – The Brent Shapiro Foundation – which raises awareness and attempts to prevent alcohol and drug dependence.

This car is a classic! Looks like it is right off of the set of Casino. Love the white top that matches with the white interior and the white wall tires.
