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.

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.

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.

50 Cent’s Blue Range Rover

 

This is 50 Cent’s Custom Blue Range Rover that was customized by Roadstarr Motorsports in Los Angeles. The car was painted a custom electric blue and really stands out from any other Range Rover in the streets. The car is equipped with 24″ Forgiato Sedici wheels that are custom painted chrome and blue. The tire size is 295/25/24 all around.

Love the color choice and the choice of wheels, both style and size. The only comment on this car that I have is that I wish they would have went with a nice chrome grille to match with the rest of the car. He could have put one of the new Forigato grilles or even a chrome Strut grille would have looked awesome. It would be even nicer if the grille was painted chrome with some color matched blue paint on it.

Other than the grille, this is a near perfect build on a Range.

Tony Gwynn’s 1964 Cadillac Fleetwood


This post is all about an old school car owned by an old school ball player. Hall of Famer, Tony Gwynn is a baseball legend in San Diego. He is statistically one of the best and most consistent hitters in baseball history.

This is his 1964 Cadillac Fleetwood that was customized by West Coast Customs. This car has been completely restored and has a candy blue pearl paint job with white vinyl top. The wheels are 22″ chrome Dayton 150 spoke wheels.

These daytons look great on this car. It perfectly matches the beautfiul glistening chrome trim everywhere on the car. This car is clean! Love the white interior with blue stitching.

Richie Rich’s Silver Bentley Continental GTC

Oakland based rapper, Richie Rich, is seen standing here in front of his silver Bentley Continental GTC. The car is sitting on 22″ chrome and black Forgiato wheels. The car was customized by California Wheels.

The wheels are staggered, 22×9 and 22×10.5. They have custom Bentley center caps. My favorite thing about this Bentley is that they painted the windows and trim on the wheels black. It is a very subtle thing to do but it really makes the chrome spokes pop.

Very clean car! Only thing I would change on this car is the blue top, wish it was black.

Nate Clements | Hummer H2 on 26s

Last time we had Nate Clements on the blog, his wife had customized a 2010 Camaro SS for him as a birthday present. Here we have him standing in front of his  2006 Hummer H2. The Hummer was customized by Tommy and the boys over at California Wheels in San Jose.

The Hummer is sitting on 26″ Asanti 402 chrome wheels with 7″ lips! Usually, a deep lip for the front of the wheel does not look good but in this case it works. These Asantis with 7″ lips look good on SUVs like this and the Range. The tires are 315/40/26 Pirellis.

As if these 26″ Asantis werent expensive enough, there is a 5th in the back as a spare!
