Matte Red Camaro | Kevin Durant

This is Kevin Durant’s new car, a matte red 2011 Camaro SS. WOW, that is A LOT of red. This car really needs some contrast to make it look right. The perfect contrast color would be flat black on this flat red paint job. Instead of having the thin pinstripes on the hood he should have filled in racing stripes going all the way through the car. He got a custom grille that says KD on it but that also nees some contrast.

I cant get over how much red there is on this car, might as well have put on red tires. I like the aggressive fitment of the rims but even the wheels on the car are too much red. It would look so much better with some black lips.

This concept might work on an all white or all black car, but it definitely doesn’t work on a matte red car.

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.

Here is C.J. Watson, the speedy back up point guard of the Chicago Bulls standing in front of his 2008 GMC Denali. You might have heard his name in the news recently for dating Floyd Mayweather’s girl Josie Harris. But we are here to talk about his car and only his car. He had all the customization done over at California Wheels in San Jose while he was playing with the Golden State Warriors.

The wheels are all black 2-piece 24″ Giannelle Barcelonas on 285/40/24 Toyo Tires. The vehicle was lowered 3″. The grille was painted black to match the wheels. It also has custom made headlights with HID kit and Halos. Great choice on the 2-piece wheels because they are a lot less likely to bend than the 3-piece wheels, especially on a heavy SUV like this. The tires are not too low profile, so that also helps protect the rims. The color is really boring, would have loved to see it be converted to a matte paint job.

I feel like this customization is incomplete. If your going to paint the grille and the wheels all black, why would you leave all the chrome molding?

One of the best scorers in college basketball history, Stephen Curry now plays for the Golden State Warriors. While many people had questions about his size and wether or not his skills would translate to the next level, he proved them all wrong. He is one of the best young guards in the NBA. Here he is standing infront of his customized 2009 Mercedes Benz G55 from California Wheels in San Jose.

The wheels are 24″ chrome and black Modular Society wheels with a custom Mercedes center cap. The tire size they went with was 350/35/24 all around. Some other extras include custom LED tail lights, custom LED blinkers, custom chrome cages, window tint, and smoked lights. The head rests also have “SC30” stiched into them.

The car looks great, nothing but black and chrome all over the car. Great fitment with 35 series tires on the 24s, he wont be bending his wheels every week.

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.

Rolls Royce Phantom must be the team car for the Golden State Warriors. We have already posted Al Harrington’s Phantom Drophead and Monta Ellis’s Rolls Royce Phantom, and now we have Stephen Jackson’s Phantom.

Just like the other two, the wheels are 24″ Forgiato Ottos – this time, all chrome.

Cool thing about these wheels are that California Wheels created custom floating Rolls Royce center caps. When the wheels are spinning, the center cap just floats and doesn’t spin.
