FOM Performance Weave 17

We took delivery this week of the FOM Performance forged wheels for the Speedwells project Datsun 280ZX V8 Turbo and to say are happy is an understatement, the quality is absolutely stunning and we myself and Iby are so pleased with the design, its an old school look but has all of the modern day forging technology, I really don’t think there is a better choice of wheel design for this build.

FOM have a huge selection of designs as well as making some of our own VAD wheel designs throughout 2020, the first one will be our F1 design for our Z4 GT3.

The range is available in 17” 18” 19” 20” with other sizes be added to the range in the coming months, but generally if the blank forgings are available then the sizes, widths and offsets can be produced.

As with any custom 3 piece range the sizes, widths and applications are endless, as with the finishes, so if you have a request… get in touch.

BMW Z4 GT3 V8 Road build

Over the last few months our BMW Z4 GT3 V8 build has really come on leaps and bounds with the kit fitted and painted, a build that should have been done two years previous but over the last couple of years thinking we were in safe hands, thinking we were working with what we though some of the industry finest, unfortunately as with any self-proclaimed “we are the best at what we do bollocks”, you kind of run with it, but as they say shit happens and you just move on, roll on 6 months later after putting all of the misery behind us, were happy to say the car is 85% finished, we still have a bit to do on the car, and its all the little details that are going to take the time, we are still waiting on the dual blade blancpain rear spoiler set up to be finished by our composite team, which is a big part of the conversion so its something we want fitted on the car when we eventually bring it out to play.

The plan was to get the car finished and ready for the Performance car show in January 2020 at the NEC Birmingham, but that’s not going to be possible, so we plan to get the car finished for winters end, we will head down to caffeine and Machine in Ettington, Warwickshire for a full shoot.

So whats left to do on our project BMW gt3, we still have the wheels to change along with the tyre specs, Bilstein suspension needs to be set up properly, and we need to mount the diffuser so we can finish off the exhaust, front and rear bumper grills, bonnet alienment and the rear spoiler and mounting system needs to be finished, only then will the car be ready to be shown to the world.

FOM Performance Wheels

We have finally got round to adding the FOM Performance range of forged 3 piece wheels to our website, we have been meaning to get this up online for so long with time being the main hold up along with waiting on some decent imagery to display the product, but as they say perfection takes time.

FOM Performance 3 piece Forged Wheels

FOM Performance wheels are a European based manufacturer so that was a huge plus point for wanting to partner with them, another was the fact they manufacture in-house, which is another huge plus as the lead times are slashed by comparison to the competition, especially with 3 piece wheel manufacturing which can run into 6 and 8 weeks, some cases even longer, and that’s the beauty of this range of wheels, not only are the designs fantastic but the lead time and price is also part of the winning ingredient of custom manufactured 3 piece wheels.

As with any 3 piece wheel manufacturer a mixture of good designs, finishes and applications are key to a successful brand and FOM do not disappoint, with most vehicles being catered for to include one off bespoke applications and various centre locks that are on the open market, all the designs start at 17" size from a 6" width up to a 13" and plus widths, they also offer 18" 19" and 20" in the same widths and applications with a huge range of finishes, they pretty much have every design to suit all tastes, flat or concave centre profiles with reverse or stepped outer lip options.

One of our favourite designs is the Weave, and old school style mesh wheel, and we are quite partial to a mesh design, especially when it looks this good, so we are pretty please that the all new Speedwells 280ZX V8 Turbo will be wearing this design in 17" and 18" configuration, and the build spec is pretty epic reading with a 9x17 up front and a 12x18 sitting at the rear with some huge negative offsets and extremely large outer rims, it’s a build we have been craving to see finish ever since our good friend Iby started it.

For more details on price, design, lead time and what we can offer you with the unique range of FOM Forged wheels get in touch with the VAD team, we are ready and waiting to enhance your build.
