Victor Martinez | Convertible Camaro

Convertible Camaro | Victor Martinez

convertible camaro

 

 

Victor Martinez and the Detroit Tigers are down 0-2 in their series with the Texas Rangers but it might not be all bad if they are eliminated. He gets to drive this awesome Convertible Camaro SS around South Beach. This car was customized by MC Customs and is on point. We love everything about this car.

The simple 8 spoke design of the wheels works really well because of all the orange on the car. The only problem we have with the car is the chrome exhaust. The entire car is black and orange so the chrome exhaust really doesn’t make any sense.

Felix Hernandez | Red Range HSE

MC Customs in Miami built King Felix of the Seattle Mariners another car. There is no doubt about it, this one is a perfect 10. There are so many little details that went into this build, it is really a rare perfect build.

The best part about this Range Rover is the custom built 24″ wheels. These wheels are truly custom. Each one of the 8 spokes has a chrome crown designed into it and each wheel says King Felix on it. The center caps are also customized with his crown logo and they are floating caps! I love the way they painted red inside of the head lights. The chrome strut grille really makes up for the lack of chrome moldings and flows well with the chrome on the wheels. The interior is completely custom with the King Felix Crown stitched into the headrests. It also has a top of the line sound system to put it all together.

Superstar athelets take notes, this is how it is done. Find the best custom shop in your city, drop off the keys and leave them a blank check and let them do what they do best.

Dwight Howard’s Car | Black Panamera

This is Dwight Howard’s murdered out black Porsche Panamera. This car makes sense for Dwight. It is a practical car that has enough room inside for him, great driving performance, and does not stand out too much. I love how the red brembo brakes really pop next to the all black car. The wheels are 22″ Savini Mono SM3s which look great. All the custom work on this car was done very subtly but it came out really clean.

Would have expected some more flash from Superman but this car is on point.

Akon’s White Panamera

Akon adds another car to his incredible fleet. This time it is a white Porsche Panamera with staggered white and black 22″ Savini wheels. It seems like white is the new black this year with cars, especially in Miami. The car was customized by The Auto Firm in Miami.

The Panamera looks a little plain without a body kit but the wheels do help. I hold Akon to a higher standard and would have liked to see him take this custom build to the next level with some more black accents and maybe even a Mansory body kit.

Zach Randolph’s Donk | 76 Impala

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.

David Beckham Camaro

David Beckham Camaro

david beckham camaro


This is David Beckham’s 2010 Camaro customized by Platinum Motorsports in Los Angeles. Looks like Beckham is really trying to fit into the United States with this American muscle car.

The car has a matte gray finish on it – hard to tell from the pictures wether it is a flat gray paint job or a flat gray vinyl wrap. With a flat gray finish like this, the best option for wheels is always matte black. Beckham went with the Agetro V500 wheels in an all matte black finish. The only other modifications I see is a blacked out grille and tinted windows.

The car looks good, very tastefully done and mean. I would have loved to see Beckham do a wide body conversion on his Camaro, that would have been insane!

CJ Watson’s 2008 GMC Denali

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?

Stephen Curry’s Car | Mercedes G55


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.

Lebron James New Car | White Camaro SS

Lebron James just picked up a new car to add to his fleet of cars in Miami. This time he picked up an all white 2010 Camaro SS. The car is completely white except for the gloss black emblem, the tinted windows, and a thin black pinstripe racing stripes.

I like the idea of going all white on a Camaro, I have never seen it done before. The all white multi spoke wheels also look good on this car. I love the staggered lips on the wheels. The only problem I have is with the racing stripe outlines. I don’t think it adds anything to the car and it just looks awkward.

The King definitely has good taste in his cars and this is no exception.

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.
