VAD VM1 Forged 2 piece

This week has seen us take delivery of a set of our Forged VAD VM1 wheels for our good friend Sean, that will be fitted to his amazing Speedwells Wide Body Toyota Supra, and we are happy that he was so persistent with this design, its getting on a bit and we did try and influence our all new Version 2 of the wheel, but he stuck to his guns and was relentless in his pursuit of our original design.

This particular wheel design is now the best part of seven years old, but it still looks fresh in today’s market, it’s a design that looks good on any vehicle, you just cant go wrong with a mesh style design, its no wonder that BBS stick to their tried and tested design.

The VM1 comes in various configurations and what we have added to our line up over the last few years is 2 piece version, which is lighter and less prone to leaks than its 3 piece brother, as well as being a slightly cheaper option, available in all of the concave profiles, we prefer the look of the spokes having the extended legs, rather than when the spokes sit on top of the flange of the wheel, but this concave configuration of the extended legs is a heavier set up so its personal choice depending on the look you want and the intended application.

We offer this design in 18” 19” 20” 21” & 22” with a 24” option available on request, available now in 1, 2 or 3-piece construction with a super lightweight forged magnesium 2-piece option now available in 18” 19” & 20” sizes, for road or track use.

Aspect GT new wheel designs

With the turn of every year we always try and update our custom forged wheel range with at least one new design and to be honest this year we were not going to look at until the middle part of the year, but with the wheels for our BMW Z4 GT3 V8 being built incorrectly especially the fronts it was time for a rethink, as AG wheels like most of the wheels companies stateside don’t stand by their mistakes, so we are left to pick up the rather large cost of replacing a set of wheels we had yet to use, we could just replace the centres, but we would rather start with a fresh clean build with another manufacturer, one that we can trust and work with long term, enter Aspect GT, a relatively new name but with a long pedigree.

We have looked at the mesh designs and that design along with a multi-spoke will be the usual easy choice for our build, but we want to step outside the box a little, it’s a motorsport looking car, so we want a motorsport looking design, and there is nothing that looks like what we want, so we got our heads together with our wheel partners and manufacturers that are helping us on this build and we have come up with two motorsport themed wheels, the problem is well like them both.

The first design is a take on a true motorsport classic, a little touch of the old OZ Motorsport wheel styling but with extra smaller windows, like the old school Speedline or compomotive take on the design, but this is a 3 piece wheel and will have a concave profile, with whats called super registry.

the smaller windows down by the bowl can also be left out of the design for that true motorsport look and plenty of room for the graphics or CNC machined text around the bowl area of the wheel, the second take on the design is the same design but with raised spoke in-between the windows, and this is the design that we really do like the look of, this design with an aggressive offset will set the Z4 GT3 off to perfection
