Plies | Chrome Pontiac Grand Prix

rides-plies-1968-pontiac-grand-pric-chrome-paint-1

Plies just built this 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix. The car is actually painted in chrome and this is not a chrome vinyl wrap. The paint job is said to have cost $47,000. The wheels on the car are 26″ DUB Azzmackas in an all chrome finish.

I dont like the choice of the wheels at all. The chrome on the wheels makes the car look like it is just a bright silver instead of chrome.  I would have loved to see black racing stripes and black wheels to contrast the chrome finish on the car. I also think he should have went with much more of a classic design. Putting these specific wheels on any car automatically makes it a joke. Nobody will take this car seriously.

But if he had put some black sporty muscle car wheels on this car, it might have been a different story.

Meek Mill | Aston Martin Rapide

Meek Mill from Maybach Music Group just customized his Aston Martin Rapide. He painted the entire car flat black and gold plated all the trim. To top it all off, he ordered a set of custom built 24kt gold plated Forgiato wheels. He went with the concave multispoke Disegno-ECL wheel which is a great choice.

I love the contrast between the dull flat black paint and the shiny gold trim on the car. Cant wait to see what other cars he adds to his fleet.

I wish more rappers would back up their music by actually going hard on customizing their cars.

Kanye West x Kim Kardashian | Matte Black Aventador

kanye west aventador

Say what you want about Kanye West and his arrogant demeanor but you can’t deny he’s extremely talented and certainly has plenty of pesos. And even though ‘Ye raps about the Lamborghini Murcielago on multiple tracks including his newest single, Mercy, Mr. West stepped it up to the new Lambo, the Aventador. Not only did Kanye take the Bull to the premier high-end customization outfit in LA, Platinum Motorsport to murder it out, Kanye also added the ultimate accessory, Ms. Kim Kardashian to warm the passenger seat.

Check the Platinum Motorsport video of the complete tear-down process below!

Flo Rida | Chrome Bugatti Veyron

Chrome Bugatti! Doesnt get a lot more impressive than that.

Flo Rida went pop years ago and apparently it’s paid off as we know he has a serious stable of high-end and custom cars and his new chrome Bugatti is at the top of the list.  MetroWrapz of Hollywood, FL took care of the wrapping responsibilities and we think they did a damn good job as we admire how the roof and hood  are contrasted in a matte silver. Check out a video of the chrome Bugatti in motion below. You might also like a video of this blue chrome Bugatti.

We would love to see him take the next step and add a set of custom wheels.

Tulisa Contostavlos | Purple Audi R8

Purple Audi R8 | Tulisa Contostavlos

purple audi r8

If you’ve never heard of Tulisa Contostavlos, a quick Google search exhibits some pretty interesting reads.   We’ll leave that up to you to check out but outside of the drama Tulisa is a also well-known singer in the UK, FMH’s Sexiest Woman in the World 2012 and is a judge on the TV show,  X-Factor.

Tulisa’s purple Audi R8 definitely fits a woman as it’s obviously painted a feminine color but its also the Spyder (convertible) which we feel is less manly than the coupe. We think some matte black concave wheels, window tint and blacked-out trim could really set Tulisa’s purple Audi R8 off.
