Even though the new Fisker Karma has had its fair share of issues, Dallas Cowboy DB, Frank Walker, wasn’t scared to be the first to mount up some plus-sized shoes and stunt hard for the green team. The wheels are 24″ Asanti AF176 and they’re properly painted to match the exterior of Frank’s all-electric ride. One of the best things about the Fisker Karma is the huge wheel well which holds a 24″ wheel with no problem at all. I think this should be the move for most manufacturers in the near future.

T-Pain is one of the few rappers who actually thinks logically when it comes to choosing rims on his car. It might be because he owns his own custom shop in Atlanta, GA called Auto Extremes and knows all of the head aches that come with custom oversized rims. He tends to be very conservative with his wheel choices as you can see above.

Here is his 2011 Rolls Royce Ghost sitting on a set of 22″ Asanti wheels. He could have easily put a set of 24s on this car but decided to go more conservative. Even though the paint scheme and thick 5 spoke design looks good on this car, it is still a fail in our eyes.

You might get a smoother ride with the smaller rims but you dont get any points on our website – you might as well have kept the stock wheels!

This is Justin Bieber’s matte black Cadillac CTS-V coupe customized by West Coast Customs. These pictures were taken at SEMA 2011 by GT Spirit. The car has suicide doors and is wrapped in matte black vinyl. It also has a custom audio system that is no joke. It is sitting on 20″ matte black Asanti wheels which look really good on this coupe.

I was tempted to give this car a good rating but you can not take it seriously for two reasons. 1) It is a 17 year olds car. 2) It has batman logos all over and is batmobile themed.

This is Martell Webster next to his two tone silver and black Chrysler 300C. We posted this car a long time ago on our website, and it looks like he modified it quite a bit since then.

He changed the wheels to ASANTI ELT wheels in gloss black barrels and Matte black centers, Magnacharger Supercharger package, and fresh Alcantara Suede inserts in the doors.

Martell, your not on your rookie contract anymore! What are you doing? Just sell this car and buy something nicer. I personally think you downgraded big time with the wheels. The ELT “mushroom” forging from Asanti makes a 22″ wheel look like an 18″ wheel. What’s the point of having deep lips if the entire wheel is black?

Zach Randolph is currently balling right now leading his Memphis Grizlles to a 2-1 series lead over the #1 seed San Antonio Spurs. Charles Barkley recently commented that Zach Randolph has the “most effective ugly game” he’s ever seen. That may be true, but there is nothing ugly about his cars.

This 1976 Impala is painted PPG Vibrance Red. The Asanti AF143 wheels are color matched vibrance red and chrome. The tire sizes are 255/30/26. He has a crazy Kicker audio system installed which includes a ZX2500.1 amplifier, 4 15 inch solo classic subwoofers, kenwood head unit, 4 6″ mids, 4 6x9s, and a Sony DVD player.

Z-Bo knows exactly what hes doing with his old school Chevys. He has a very impressive fleet of donks and they are all customized the right way. 26s is the way to go on these cars – no bigger, no smaller.

Gucci Mane is one of the best rappers out there right now and he has some of the hottest rides. Gucci Mane is always one step ahead of everybody else in the car game. He was one of the first people in the United States with the Ferrari 458 Italia and now he has one of the baddest wide body Challengers.

This black Challenger has an incredible wide body conversion, 5 inches wider on each side. It had 26×15″ wheels in the rear which is unheard of on a car like this. This car was customized by Quick and the boys over at Cars of Atlanta. I just wish this car was any color other than black, it would look even better. The black color makes the wide body work a little more subtle and not as obvious.

This car needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. I think the $150k price tag that Gucci is talking about might be a little exaggerated, but none the less this is a very special car.

This is T-Pain’s red Rolls Royce Phantom Drop Head. The Drop Head is one of the most luxurious rides money can buy. T-Pain has equipped this car with some custom 24″ wheels, color matched red to the car with chrome trim and a chrome lip.

A red phantom is very rare and it looks great. Love how he went with the brushed aluminum hood upgrade. Could have went a little bigger with the wheels but it still a good fitment. The meat on the tires will help protect the wheels when you hit a pot hole in this 7000 lb car.

I would expect a little more flash out of T-pain, but it is a beautiful car and nice set up.

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.
