Joe Haden’s White Range Rover

joe haden range rover

Joe Haden from the Cleveland Browns got his car customized at Rim Source Motorsports in Baltimore, MD. Kevin and the boys over at Rim Source hooked up up with a set of 24″ Maglia wheels. The wheels are painted white and black two tone with a color matched white lip.

The Range seems to be sitting high a little bit but that can be adjusted automatically with a push of the button inside the car. Even though this mesh wheel design is used more for sports cars, it actually works on the Range Rover.

Patrick Willis | 1986 Iroc Camaro

1986 Iroc Camaro | Patrick Willis

1986 Iroc Camaro

San Fransico 49ers linebacker and Ole Miss alum Patrick Willis is heralded as one of, if not THE, best linebackers in the NFL. As a proffessional athlete, Willis could obviously aquire virtually any vehicle he desired so the fact that he copped an IROC of all things is intriguing.

Although I don’t know WHY he would want a third generation Camaro over the first or second, it’s kinda cool that he likes to be different and set his own trends.  This particular IROC looks pretty mean with the bright red muscle car hue and blacked-out (Vossen?) wheels, windows and tails.

Frank Gore’s Rolls Royce Drophead

Frank Gore has stepped up his game, going from a Maserati Quattroporte to a Rolls Royce Drophead coupe. The car is staggered on 26″ Forgiato Andata wheels. It has a brushed aluminum center with black windows and a chrome lip. The car also has the brushed aluminum hood option which is a very expensive option.

This is one of the coolest cars you can ever get. You get all of the luxury of a Rolls Royce but the fact that it is a coupe and a convertible makes it a lot more fun to drive.

T-Pain | Rolls Royce Ghost on Asantis

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!

Eric Berry’s Black Tahoe on 26s

Eric Berry, the former Tennessee Volunteer, is now playing safety for the Kansas City Chiefs. Here he is standing infront of his black Chevy Tahoe with 26″ Giovanna Dalar 6V wheels with a matte black and machined two tone finish.

Like most of the Chiefs, he got his car customized by Chad Dearth at KC Trends in Overland Park, KS. The wheels have a very aggressive fitment of 26×10.5 all around. I think the 25 series tires are too thin for such a heavy car. I also think the 6 thin spokes on the wheel don’t really match the car.

Great fitment but wrong choice of wheels in my opinion.

Donald Penn’s Bentley Mulsanne

Bentley Mulsanne | Donald Penn

bentley mulsanne

Back to Back Bentley Mulsanne posts. Big Donald Penn of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has one of the most impressive fleets of custom cars you will ever see. Here is just a glimpse of it, a custom three tone Bentley Mulsanne. The car is black, grey, and has a thin maroon pinstripe with a matching maroon interior. The wheels are 24″ Forgiato Ottos that are painted black with a chrome lip.

We will be having a lot more of his cars coming up soon. The Pro Bowl Offensive Lineman definitely has good taste in cars and is always pushing the envelope with the customization. The Bentley Mulsanne seems to be the new move for luxury cars taking over the place of the Rolls Royce Phantom.

Ron Artest’s Car | Hyundai?

I think this is the first and probbably last Hyundai that will be customized by Platinum Motorsport. This is Ron Artest’s Hyundai – Lakered Out.

George Lopez promised the Lakers forward a car — a Phantom actually — but Artest aid all he needed was a Hyundai. Whenever Ron Ron saw George sitting courtside at Lakers games, he would remind him about the car. So Lopez finally invited Artest back on the show to promote his rap album and that’s when George presented him with the Laker Mobile.

The car has purple and gold rims and brakes, as well as Lakers colors on the seats and interior. This car is obviously a joke and gimmick car. I would have customized this to be even more wild and crazy, paint the entire car purple and gold. Either way, not too impressive.

Drumma Boy | Black/Orange Camaro

Drumma Boy is a music producer and rapper from Memphis. Here he is standing in front of his black 2010 Camaro SS with 22″ and 24″ Forgiato Martellato wheels.

The car is all black with a very bright metallic orange color on the racing stripes, the chevy emblem, and the brake calipers. The wheels are also all black with orange trim. The car looks great with the simple and unique color scheme.

I think Drumma Boy should remix Wiz Khalifa’s black and yellow song with a black and orange version.

Reggie Bush | 1971 Chevelle SS

This 1971 Chevelle SS was built for Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints by Streamline Designs. This is some very impressive work on the Chevelle. Unlike other athletes who hand the keys to their cars over to shops and get very little out of it, Reggie Bush got hooked up on this car. A complete ground up restoration.

Where to begin…Lets starts with under the hood. It is a 6 speed automatic equipped with an LS3 680 Horse Power engine. The wheels are 22″ and 24″ chrome Asantis, 24×15 in the rear with 405/25/24 Pirelli tires! As you can tell from the stance, it has air ride suspension. It also has 16″ custom wilwood brakes and 6 piston wilwood truck calipers.

This should be a lesson to other athletes,  take your car to a place that knows what their doing.

JaMarcus Russell’s Bentley Flying Spur

We go from current Raider to former Raider with this post on JaMarcus Russell and his silver Bentley Flying Spur. JaMarcus Russell was one of the most gifted quarterbacks in the NFL but a bad work ethic and bad decisions led to him being cut by the Oakland Raiders. Although his NFL career has been a failure, he is still rolling in style off of the field.

This silver Bentley Flying Spur is staggered on 22″ Forgiato Otto wheels. They are all chrome with a 3″ lip in the front and a 5.5″ lip in the rear. I dont know what costs more, the Bentley or all the jewelry he is wearing.

The car is customized in a very nice way. My only criticism of the car is that it should be lowered a little. I am sure once he gets off the car, it will be sitting up too high on those 22s.
