Toyota Supra On Satin Bronze Rims Take Us On a Trip Down Memory Lane


These new Competition Series S6 wheels from Strasse Forged are making their official debut on a right hand drive 1998 Toyota Supra, straight out of Japan.
The satin bronze centers combine well with the polished titanium lips, while complimenting the black exterior of the car in a way which doesn't necessarily scream "look at me" - and that's something to be appreciated, as long as you don't like your Supras looking like they belong in the Fast & Furious franchise.
Measuring in at 19x9.5 at the front and 19x11 at the rear, these wheels also feature satin bronze barrels and caps, titanium hardware and weight reduction pocketing.
Looks-wise, to some extent, the Supra's styling was derived from the Celica's originally, though the Supra was longer and wider and is globally recognized as a sports car icon, much like the Honda NSX. Of course, like with the NSX, plenty of people would want to see the Supra name revived, preferably into something that can rival some of today's hybrid supercars - but that's a whole other story.
It's this car though that might take you on a ride down memory lane, and with custom wheels such as this, it's classic appearance is maintained, which matters when it comes to iconic models.

The latest project by the eccentric Bulgarian tuner Vilner is an iconic Alfa Spider which they have dubbed the “Fibra d? Carbono Rosso”. If you are Italian is good, you know that means Vilner Alfa Romeo Spider features a whole lot of red carbon fiber.
According to Vilner, they wanted to created a design masterpiece with the interior design of this car to match the absolutely gorgeous exterior. It was of utmost importance to make the cabin on Vilner Alfa Romeo Spider shine, since the car is a cabriolet and everybody gets to see it.
For this program, Vilner created a special carbon composite mixed with kevlar in the color of the exterior which they call Vilner Milano, and applied it to the center console, steering wheel, door handles, and of course, the dashboard fascia. Wherever in this cabin you don’t see red carbon, the surface is covered in leather, either in black or cherry blossom red.
One of the biggest highlights of Vilner Alfa Romeo Spider is the seat upholstery which features a mirror effect with the passenger seat wrapped partially in black. The middle part of both seats are covered with 3D net – a special material that looks sporty and provides plenty of ventilation.

Official: VITT Mercedes S-Class Coupe

Following its official, and rather saucy, debut at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon, the unique VITT Mercedes S-Class Coupe now gets a formal introduction with a vast gallery that shows every nook and cranny of the styling kit. This package is one of the biggest and craziest styling treatment currently available for the S-Coupe.
In fact, the only other kit we can think of that comes close is Mansory’s Diamond S-Class Coupe. Between those two, however, we prefer this one, the VITT Mercedes S-Class Coupe, as it is less ostentatious than what Mansory offers. Make no mistake, VITT Squalo’s offering is still pretty showoff-y, but finished in shade of black, you could easily mistake it for a Black Series S-Coupe from AMG themselves.
The main features of VITT S-Class Coupe styling kit include a custom front bumper with larger air intakes, LED lights and a spoiler lip, custom front wing with flared arches, side vents, bespoke sills, door panels, and skirt, modified wide rear fender, custom rear bumper with huge diffuser insert and integrated tailpipes, and the weirdest rear spoiler we have ever seen!
This particular VITT Mercedes S-Class Coupe is also equipped with the tuner’s new Grado wheels in size 21-inch.
