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.

John Wall’s New Car | Porsche Panamera

john wall car

John Wall just bought a new car and had it customized by Platinum Motorsport in Los Angeles. The Washington Wizards point guard and former Kentucky star chose to go with all flat black wheels for his white Porsche Panamera turbo. The wheels he chose are the Agetro F10 which is Platinum’s own wheel line. I think it was a great choice because it has a sporty look which really works for the Panamera.

They didnt just stop with upgrading the wheels. They added an insane custom interior and painted all the trim and moulding black to match the wheels.

William Levy Range Rover in Miami

William Levy Range Rover

William Levy is a very famous Cuban-American actor who went to Alex Vega at The Auto Firm in Miami to get his Range Rover customized. They went with a very simple and clean look with the brushed and black finish on the wheels.

You can never go wrong with a 9 spoke wheel on a Range Rover. But I would have liked to see a little more creativity on this project, like a nice Onyx body kit!

Dwight Howard’s New Bentley Mulsanne

Dwight Howard's New Bentley Mulsanne

The self-appointed Superman decided with a change of scenery he should change up his vehicle collection as well and he did it in a major way purchasing a $300k Bentley Mulsanne. Perhaps he felt the need to fit in with the Hollywood Elite or some of his fellow Lakers? Either way, we hope he takes it somewhere like Platinum Motorsport next because it’s dying for some customization!

Chad Johnson picks up a Smart Car

 

Chad Johnson just signed with the Miami Dolphins so we expect him to have a brand new fleet of cars very soon. His first purchase is a smart car which was customized by Alex Vega at The Auto Firm. The entire car was hooked up including a matte black paint job, custom rims, and audio.

Although this is a cool car, we expect something bigger and better to be coming soon from the wide receiver formerly known as Ochocinco.

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.

Francisco Liriano | White Maserati Gran Turismo

Minnesota Twins lefty Francisco Liriano has a solid stable of rides including a custom Panamera and he recently added a snow white Maserati Gran Turismo to the collection. The Masi is sporting a set of super-clean staggered concave wheels that match the GT’s inside-out-Oreo theme, as the car has literally zero chrome showing anywhere. The only thing we suggest is paint the grille black and smoke the orange markers!

Frank Walker | Fisker Karma on 24″ Asantis

frank walker, fisker, karma, asanti, wheels, 24

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.

Justin Bieber’s New Chrome Car | Fisker Karma

chrome fikser

Justin Bieber just had his Fisker Karma wrapped in chrome vinyl. This car is one of the hottest cars out right now and looks even better wrapped in all chrome. You usually see this chrome wrap done on Audi R8s or internationally in Japan and Saudi Arabia. I think this is going to be the new trend here in the United States.

Matte black is played out and chrome is making a come back!

I like the contrast with the dark wheels on this car. Chrome wheels would have been too much.

Kobe Bryant- Flat Black Lamborghini Aventador

Kobe Bryant is in the middle of a divorce with no prenup, his team is struggling to start the season, and he has a torn ligament in his wrist. But overall it was a great month for Kobe because of THIS car. He picked up a brand new Lamborghini Aventador that is painted matte black.

This is one of the most impressive cars to come out in years. Kobe Bryant takes a helicopter to most home games at the Staples Center but I think it is time for him to start driving! Kobe must have been influenced by Andrew Bynum to step up his car game, we all know how competitive Kobe is.

This car is flawless and the perfect car for The Black Mamba!
