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.

Chris Andersen aka Birdman – Monster Truck

Chris Andersen Birdman Truck

This big ass truck belongs to Chris Andersen, aka “Birdman” of the Denver Nuggets. It was customized by Car Toys in Denver, CO. I can’t imagine how fun it must be to drive this car around town.

Birdman’s truck is a SportChassis P4XL with 22.5″ black wheels and a chrome strut grille. The interior features Italian leather wrapped dash and lower console with suede headliner.

Very unique choice for an NBA car and Birdman is a very unique guy so it makes sense.

Anthony Carter Green Hummer H2
Here is Denver Nuggets guard Anthony Carter standing infront of his Hummer H2. He has nicknamed his car “The Incredible Hulk” and has the hulk airbrushed on the hood of the car. The wheels are 26″ MHT DUB Wheels, chrome and green center with a chrome lip and green pinstripe.
Really flashy Hummer,  love the chrome and green everywhere and the car has an awesome stance.

Andrew Bynum picks up a new Ferrari

Andrew Bynum Ferrari

Andrew Bynum picked up a new car just in time for the 2010 NBA season. Here is a picture of Bynum’s Ferrari F430 with 20″ Forgiato Martellato wheels. The wheels have a brushed center and a polished lip. Very good choice in wheels with this sporty 5 spoke design. I like the fact that the wheels aren’t chrome or colorful. The car is flashy enough the way it is and having colorful wheels would take away from it.

This Ferrari makes a good compliment to Bynum’s Wide Body Challenger painted purple and gold. The Challenger is probably his every day driver while the Ferrari is for special occasions. Must be nice!

Lebron James Ferrari F430 Spyder

Here is King James with his grey convertible Ferrari. The wheels are color matched grey to the car with chrome lips. There is also a lot of red on this car with the tail lights, red interior, and red brembo brakes.

The lip sizes are pretty small on this car but that could be because of the monster brakes. I like the staggered setup and the fitment of the wheels but the wheel design is nothing special. It looks to be a thin 5 spoke wheel with grooves in the middle.

Nothing special here from Lebron, maybe with Shaq coming to C-town….he can help him customize his cars.

Mehmet Okur’s Yellow Ferrari

Mehmet Okur might be stuck playing basketball in Utah, but that doesn’t mean he can’t make it as fun as possible. Here he is about to get into his yellow Ferrari F430 staggered on 19″ chrome wheels. The rims are a simple 5 spoke design.

I like the the rims a lot because it makes the yellow Ferrari center cap pop out at you. Most people would go with black rims on a yellow Ferrari, but surprisingly chrome works pretty well too.

I dont even think this car would fit in the narrow streets of his home town Istanbul.

Brandon Rush – Mercedes S550


Here is Indiana Pacer Brandon Rush standing infront of his Mercedes Benz S550. The car is sitting on 22″ Giovannas, all chrome. I dont like the color of the car, but the rims look good. He had his car customized at KC Trends.

This seems like an old picture and Brandon was probbably still playing college ball at Kansas at the time. I am sure he has moved on to a better/newer car with his NBA salary and hope to come across some pictures soon.

Ronny Turiaf’s Black Tahoe

After posting Hilfiger’s Range Rover from Platinum Motorsport, this Chevy Tahoe that belongs to Ronny Turiaf just doesnt look as good. The former Laker decided to go with 24″ Agetros on his Tahoe, black face with brushed aluminum windows.

I dont think the black grill does anything for this car. It would probbably look better with a chrome grill and a chrome lip on the wheels. Im not too crazy about this set up.

Andrew Bynum – Wide Body Dodge Challenger SRT8

Andrew Bynum and the Los Angeles Lakers just won the 2009 NBA Championship. A lot of people in LA are driving around with Lakers flags sticking out of their cars, Bynum took it to the next level. He went to Platinum Motorsports in LA to customize his Challenger into the ultimate Laker car.

The car is painted purple with gold racing stripes. They wheels are painted purple with gold trim and pinstripe. The colors might get most of the attention but this is one bad ass car for a completely different reason.

They have cut up this car and made it a wide body. He actually fit 24×14″ Forgiatos in the rear with an 8″ lip! Only negative I can see is the blacked out tail lights are a little too much and doesn’t match the rest of the car.
