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.

13x19 2-Piece VAD Forged VM1, Matte Black Centre, Gloss Black Rim

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.

We look forward to seeing these wheels enhance Sean's Supra, check back in to follow the journey of this epic build.

Speedwells Wide Body Supra, by Sean Reid

Over the past couple of years, we have seen the speedwells wide body aero kit for the Toyota Supra gather some momentum, since we have added the aero to our website we have had lots of interest, it helps when current owners like Lawrence Duckers are out and about with his amazing Black Wide Body, which seems to look better every time we see the car across various media platforms, Iby certainly built a stunner when he put this one together and it’s good to see that Lawrence is putting his own stamp on the build, adding more power with a turbo install, and we are sure there is more to come from this particular Supra.

There is a new build happening and we have been privy too and it’s a beauty, Sean Reid is the man responsible for yet another UK build and from what we have seen so far we are excited by this one.

Sean's Black Supra before the mods

The base car he sourced was from Ireland, a beautiful black example which before he purchased had just had a fresh coat of paint and it was a stunning example, many people would be asking why cut up a perfectly good base car, but when your friend is Iby from Speedwells it all starts to make sense, let’s just say when it comes to modifying cars he is a bad influence, and Sean himself is no stranger to the modified scene, his daily driver is a lowered Murdered out Audi Avant, sitting on super wide concave wheels , so the Supra didn't stand a chance of a standard life once it come into Sean’s life, but as we always say at VAD, a stock car is a boring car.

The reason this build caught our eye was colour choice, which is a classic Grey from the Porsche colour range, its very reminiscent to the Lamborghini Grigio Telesto or the Audi Nardo Grey, which we like, especially now this colour is adorned on his wide body Supra, this is one colour that will show off all of the details that can be hidden by a darker colour.

Sean's Build process of the Speedwells Wide Body Supra

A special build needs a special wheel and as reported in our previous email Sean has decided on our very own VAD VM1 mesh style design, its and old design now, but like all good mesh designs get them right and they are timeless, and this is one build we can wait to see fitted with our design.

Sean is a man after our own heart when it comes to colour for his wheel set up, as he is going with a matte black centre with gloss black barrels, chrome studs, in sizes 10.5x19 front and 13x19 rear, this is one beauty we just can’t wait to see all finished down the camera lens.

Speedwells Wide Body Supra

The Speedwell Supra, owed by our good friend Iby, it’s a showcase not just for his skill set but his company too, he puts life back into worn out alloy wheels, he is the ultimate wheel restorer, and is extremely good at what he does, just think of a colour and he can make it happen, including one off colour and bespoke finishes, and the good thing is he caters for all wheels from oem wheels to 2 and 3 piece forged splities, he can pretty much restore any wheel back to original, all wheels are dry painted and finished to perfection, so next time you need your wheels refinishing, look him up and tell him VAD sent you, we promise you will not be disappointed.

The car itself needs no introduction, that is unless you have been living under a rock with no internet or wifi connection, we have featured it a couple of times over the last few years in various disguises, it must be one of Europe’s most posted Supra's across the media networks, its lit our feeds up this years more than any other Supra around the world, but what we can say is we haven’t seen one picture of this car that does it justice, not one, in the metal this is mind blowingly good, with the kit is a complete one off, well it was... until now.

Since we can remember we have been hounding iby to reproduce the kit, as we have had so many requests, he had also been inundated with request too, so he has finally stepped out of his manic schedule and pulled the trigger, and will be available to buy over the next few months, and you can buy it right here at VAD.

The kit will feature the usual wide body aero parts, front bumper, front splitter, front wider fenders, side skirts, rear wider quarter panels, rear bumper with integrated diffuser.

With any wide body project you will need the wheels to suit, you can fit 17” 18” 19” or if you desired 20” will fit with slight mods, but 20” as long as you run 10.5” front and 13” rear with suitable width tyres, other upgrades will be required, suspension, with fitting and painting required to completed look.

If you fancy this unique wide body look for your Toyota Supra, drop us an email, or get in touch, and we will hook you up with what has to be the ultimate supra conversion on the market.
