Young Jeezy Ferrari California

Young Jeezy Ferrari California


Young Jeezy has a blacked out 2011 Ferrari California. Young Jeezy accomodates the yellow calipers and yellow ferrari badges, he threw on some black and yellow Savini wheels. All of the customization was done at Car Tunes in Atlanta.

I like the idea with going yellow on the wheels but this is way too much yellow going on with the register painted yellow, the center painted yellow, and a thin yellow pinstripe on the lip.

And if your going to smoke the tail lights, smoke them all the way!

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.

Akon’s White Ferrari 458 Italia

Good to see Akon still doing his thing with custom cars. He is definitely a car nut and has now picked up a white Ferrari 458 Italia. I love the color of the car with the blacked out tail lights…but thats where it ends.

The car is sitting up way too high, very bad move. The design of the wheels is alright, you cant go wrong with a split 5 spoke on a sports car but chrome and white finish? Really? This is not an S550 or a 7 Series, he should have went with some brushed and/or black concave wheels.

Just another case of somebody buying an awesome car but butchering it with customization that was not well thought out.

Carlos Silva | White Bentley Super Sport

MC Customs just hit another homerun grandslam with this wide body Bentley they created for Carlos Silva of the Chicago Cubs. This project has been in the works for a long time and it is finally complete. As opposed to other shops that just throw on a set of wheels and a grille on a Bentley, MC Customs completely transformed this car.

I have never seen this body kit on any other Bentley. The wheels are concave 3-piece forged Savini SV-30C painted white and black to match the car. The interior is red, black, and carbon fiber. This was a complete build including custom audio from Arc Audio and engine tuning.

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.

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!

Carmelo Anthony’s Old Car | 1971 Chevelle

Carmelo Anthony must feel at home with the New York Knicks. He is back on the east coast where he is from as you can see from his black 1971 Chevelle. The entire car is a tribute to his hometown of Baltimore, MD.

It is a small block 350 with Air Conditioning, Automatic Transmission, Cowl Induction Hood and Front Disc Brakes. Painted in the Baltimore Orioles colors with logos.  The stripes are an alligator skin pattern for lack of a better description. The interior is Black with Orange stitching and a custom Rockford Fosgate Stereo with Carmelo’s Initials.

This car was obviously done before he got any NBA money and it is not that nice. This car is currently for sale and the proceeds will go to charity. The winning bidder will also get a signed autograph jersey from Melo – hope its not a Nuggets jersey, that wont be worth much.

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.

Nick Cannon | Red Ferrari F430

Nick Cannon went to Platinum Motorsport to get some wheels put on his 2007 Red Ferrari F430.  First off, it is a great decision to pick red as the color for his Ferrari, any other color just doesn’t look as good on a Ferrari. He ended up going with some brushed and black Agetro C-S250 wheels.

The design of the wheel is really cool. It looks like 5 arrows pointing at the Agetro star cap in the middle. I also like the finish on the wheels – brushed face, black trim, and a chrome lip. A lot of people play it safe with Ferrari wheels and usually have them painted completely black, but the chrome lip really works reflecting the red calipers of the car.

With his wife expecting twins, I think its time for him to trade in this 430 for a 4 door Porsche Panamera.
