A few months back we gave an insight into a build that was happening with a very special BMW M6, and at last we are pleased to say the car has hit the streets and has been out and about at various shows, it not 100% finished and we do know that the kit is still off and on the car, as the rear bumper extensions are still being worked on, as Joakim perfects the fitment he wants with the aero kit.

Personally we would of preferred the none riveted look, but that’s just our own opinion as we aren’t a huge fan of riveted kits, but kudos to Joakim as he has built this car himself and this was the look he wanted, which is what this build is about, we were quite skeptical with how this car was going to turn out when he ordered his 12x21 front and 15x21 rear VAD forged wheels, but we have to say he pulled it off, we look forward to seeing this build progress over the coming months, as we have no doubt he will make changes to perfect this one off wide body M6.

Back in February we blogged about a very special build project that was taking place in Sweden, Joakim Edin had just started constructing his very own wide body fenders for his BMW M6 V10, as he had just taken delivery of his VAD forged VF1 Wheels.

Well we are pleased to report that things a progressing extremely well, to the point where he has fitted his tyres and managed to stretch a 355/25R21 Pirelli onto that huge 15x21 rear wheel and is now honing the fitment, and we must say, the way the new extended fenders sit on the VAD VF1 12x21 and 15x21 3 piece forged wheels is absolute fitment perfection and a credit to his craft, the VF1 has never looked so good, it’s a simplistic 5 spokes that just looks so good on every vehicle its been fitted too.

There is a lot more work to be done, but this is the beauty of customers that share their builds, we can showcase the progress as its happens, we will tune back in to Joakim build as its takes shape.

If you have any VAD wheels and wish to share your build pictures, send us some details and we will be more than happy to share with the rest of the motoring communities around the world.

Over the last few weeks we have been updating our website with all the new Japanese brands we have taken on for 2017, and we have had amazing feedback for all of them, especially the Forged magnesium range of TWS wheels, the pinnacle road or track light weight wheel, it really doesn’t get any better, but one wheel in questions that took not only our eye, but an awful lot of interest from customers around the world, the very beautiful AME, Shallen L.O.D FX.

The design has been around since we can remember in various disguises, when it first hit the scene all those years ago, it was as a cast 3-piece wheel design, with a flat profile, but as its progressed through the years and into its second configuration, it changed to a 3-piece concave with the extended legs, and option that is still available and still looking good on any vehicle it enhances.

Seen here is the latest update and configuration made to the design, a deep concave 2 piece forged wheel, with the spoke running all the way to the rim edge, with a step lip and floating style spoke, and the results as you can see are stunning.

Manufactured in sizes 19” and 20” in various widths, offsets and applications, the wheel can be finished in any colour configuration, with 21” and 22” being added to the line up over the coming weeks.

Email the VAD team for pricing and applications, we can see this wheel being a very popular choice for the 2017 season.
