DAVID BECKHAM'S PHANTOM DROPHEAD

2011-09-24T04:25:00.001+00:00

This is a 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead (convertible coupe). This is the most luxurious car in the world. Here is David Beckham from Manchest…. I mean LA Galaxy driving his kids around Los Angeles with it.

He went all out and chose the brushed aluminum hood. He went with all black 24″ Savini wheels. I don't like the choice in color as the black wheels get lost on a black car, but I wouldn't have gone with chrome either. I think the way to go would have been brushed aluminum wheel like the ones Jordan has on his cars to match the hood of this car.

DAVID BECKHAM IN HIS CADILLAC ESCALADE ESV

2011-09-24T04:22:00.002+00:00

This is David Beckham getting a ticket from a cop in LA. He is driving a black Cadillac Escalade ESV with 26″ TIS Drop Star rims. The wheel is a 6 spoke design which is good for this 6 lug car, but the spokes are wayyy too thin and look really sporty. The finish is black and machined which is nice.

These rims are really cheap cast wheels with no lips but Im sure he got them for free anyway. Overall, pretty nice ride. The big rims look good on this big ass car.

DAVID BECKHAM'S FLAT GRAY CAMARO

2011-09-24T04:20:00.004+00:00

This is David Beckham's 2010 Camaro customized by Platinum Motorsports in Los Angeles.Looks like Beckham is really trying to fit into the United States with this American muscle car.

The car has a matte gray finish on it – hard to tell from the pictures wether it is a flat gray paint job or a flat gray vinyl wrap. With a flat gray finish like this, the best option for wheels is always matte black. Beckham went with the Agetro V500 wheels in an all matte black finish.The only other modifications I see is a blacked out grille and tinted windows.

The car looks good, very tastefully done and mean. I would have loved to see Beckham do a wide body conversion on his Camaro, that would have been insane!

RON ARTEST'S CAR | HYUNDAI?

2011-09-24T04:18:00.002+00:00

I think this is the first and probbably last Hyundai that will be customized by Platinum Motorsport. This is Ron Artest's Hyundai – Lakered Out.

George Lopez promised the Lakers forward a car — a Phantom actually — but Artest aid all he needed was a Hyundai. Whenever Ron Ron saw George sitting courtside at Lakers games, he would remind him about the car. So Lopez finally invited Artest back on the show to promote his rap album and that's when George presented him with the Laker Mobile.

The car has purple and gold rims and brakes, as well as Lakers colors on the seats and interior. This car is obviously a joke and gimmick car. I would have customized this to be even more wild and crazy, paint the entire car purple and gold. Either way, not too impressive.

TONY GWYNN'S 1964 CADILLAC FLEETWOOD

2011-09-24T04:17:00.000+00:00

This post is all about an old school car owned by an old school ball player. Hall of Famer, Tony Gwynn is a baseball legend in San Diego. He is statistically one of the best and most consistent hitters in baseball history.

This is his 1964 Cadillac Fleetwood that was customized by West Coast Customs. This car has been completely restored and has a candy blue pearl paint job with white vinyl top. The wheels are 22″ chrome Dayton 150 spoke wheels.

These daytons look great on this car. It perfectly matches the beautfiul glistening chrome trim everywhere on the car. This car is clean! Love the white interior with blue stitching.

CARLOS BOOZER | WHITE MASERATI GRAN TURISMO

2011-09-24T04:13:00.002+00:00

Carlos Boozer of the Utah Jazz made a lot of money by getting out of Cleveland and signing with the Jazz. He is putting all that money to good use with some bad ass cars. We showed you his Ferrari in an earlier post and now here is his white 2010 Maserati Gran Turismo with 22″ Forgiato Concavo wheels with custom Maserati Center Caps.

I always thought the grille on the Gran Turismo was perfect and should never be touched but the boys at Exclusive Motoring in Miami added a cool effect to the front grille. Painted the whole grille black and painted the maserati emblem white to match the car.

The whole car has a white and black theme and it really works. I am also really feeling the all white lip.

CARLOS BOOZER – WHITE MAYBACH

2011-09-24T04:11:00.000+00:00

Carlos Boozer goes back to back on our website with another white luxury car. This time it is the very luxurious Maybach. It is staggered on 24″ Forgiato Aresto wheels. These wheels are a great choice because of the full face design.

Boozer went to Exclusive Motoring in Miami to get his car customized. With as often as this guy is in Miami and with Millsap playing like a beast, I have a feeling his time in Utah is nearing an end.

Carlos might not have the prettiest game but he has some good looking whips.

CJ WATSON'S 2008 GMC DENALI

2011-09-24T04:09:00.002+00:00

Here is CJ Watson, the speedy back up point guard of the Chicago Bulls standing in front of his 2008 GMC Denali. You might have heard his name in the news recently for dating Floyd Mayweather's girl Josie Harris. But we are here to talk about his car and only his car. He had all the customization done over at California Wheels in San Jose while he was playing with the Golden State Warriors.

The wheels are all black 2-piece 24″ Giannelle Barcelonas on 285/40/24 Toyo Tires. The vehicle was lowered 3″. The grille was painted black to match the wheels. It also has custom made headlights with HID kit and Halos. Great choice on the 2-piece wheels because they are a lot less likely to bend than the 3-piece wheels, especially on a heavy SUV like this. The tires are not too low profile, so that also helps protect the rims. The color is really boring, would have loved to see it be converted to a matte paint job.

I feel like this customization is incomplete. If your going to paint the grille and the wheels all black, why would you leave all the chrome molding?

BRANDON RUSH – MERCEDES S550

2011-09-24T04:08:00.000+00:00

Here is Indiana Pacer Brandon Rush standing infront of his Mercedes Benz S550. The car is sitting on 22″ Giovannas, all chrome. I dont like the color of the car, but the rims look good.He had his car customized at KC Trends.

This seems like an old picture and Brandon was probbably still playing college ball at Kansas at the time. I am sure he has moved on to a better/newer car with his NBA salary and hope to come across some pictures soon.

BILL GOLDBERG WITH MOZ WHEELS ON HIS TAHOE

2011-09-24T04:06:00.001+00:00

Here is former wrestling star Bill Goldberg posing infront of his MOZ wheels on his 2009 Tahoe. The wheel is called the Shine and the finish is black and chrome.

Two very good things about this setup.

1 – The 6 spoke wheels match the car perfectly since it is a 6 lug. Sometimes you see people drilling 6 holes into a 5 spoke wheel and it completely ruins the design of the wheel.

2- The tires still have some meat on them. Their not like most of the rubber band tires we see with aftermarket rims. When you drive an SUV like a Tahoe, you dont want to be worried about bending your wheels every second.

They look like their tucking in a little bit in the rear, but not a big deal.

ANTREL ROLLE'S CAR – RED MASERATI GRAN TURISMO

2011-09-24T04:04:00.001+00:00

I have lost track of how many celebritys have these exact rims on their Maserati Gran Turismos. I have no problem with that because these look awesome on the car. Here is Antrel Rolle with Alex Vega infront of his red Maserati staggered on 22″ Forgiato Capolavaro rims.

The rims are chrome with red windows and red flange. Exclusive Motoring did another great job in advising their clients to choose a very very nice set of rims.

ANTHONY CARTER AND HIS LIME GREEN HUMMER H2

2011-09-24T04:02:00.001+00:00

Here is Denver Nuggets guard Anthony Carter standing infront of his Hummer H2. He has nicknamed his car “The Incredible Hulk” and has the hulk airbrushed on the hood of the car.The wheels are 26″ MHT DUB Wheels, chrome and green center with a chrome lip and green pinstripe.
Really flashy Hummer, love the chrome and green everywhere and the car has an awesome stance.

ANDREW BYNUM – NISSAN GTR

2011-09-24T03:52:00.002+00:00

Andrew Bynum is a true car fanatic. He customizes all of his cars at Platinum Motorsport in Los Angeles. This is his super fast Nissan GTR that is going to be featured on the cover of Super Street Magazine. The wheels are 22″ matte black Agetros which match the car perfectly.The best part about this car is the amazing body kit with the carbon fiber trim.

I dont understand why the front license plate says “Giant Killer” since he would be the Giant at 7 ft tall. Either way, the car is bad ass.

FEB 1 ANDREW BYNUM'S NEW FERRARI 599 GTB FIORANO

2011-09-24T03:51:00.003+00:00

Andrew Bynum has done it again! No, not another championship for the Lakers but another bad ass car. This time he took his 2010 Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano to CEC and had them tune it.They also threw on a set of Carbon Fiber Forgiato Maglia wheels. 22×9 in the front with a 3″ lip and 22×12 in the rear with a 4″ lip.

I wish I had a video clip of this car because you need to hear how good it sounds, unbelievable.

It just doesnt get much better than this. First car ever to get a perfect score on our website!

ALLEN IVERSON'S WHITE BENTLEY GT

2011-09-24T03:49:00.000+00:00

Allen Iverson just came out of retirement to sign with his old club, the Philadelphia 76ers. It seems to be just a move to get some people in the seats at the Wachovia Center. He is seen here leaning on his white Bentley Gt with 22″ chrome wheels. I can't make out what kind of wheels they are because of the Custom Bentley Center Cap.

AI kept it simple with this car with just all chrome wheels and tinted windows. Seems to be about a 4″ lip in the rear. Nothing spectacular but it looks good.

SORIANO'S SHINY HUMMER

2011-09-24T03:48:00.000+00:00

Alfonso Soriano, the power hitting outfielder for the Cubs, is known for regularly making mistakes on the field such as being picked off for the 3rd time the other day.

Looks like he made another mistake here. Not only is this car ugly and tasteless, it also looks incredibly cheap. The rims look like chrome one piece cast wheels that cost him 800 dollars for the set. (HE HAS AN 8 YEAR $136 MILLION CONTRACT WITH THE CUBS)

As far as the silver plate on the hood which says Alfonso Soriano with his number 12 on it, thats kind of cool lol.

“THE CUBAN MISSILE” – ALEXEI RAMÍREZ

2011-09-24T03:46:00.001+00:00

Here is Alexei Ramírez, the stud rookie 2nd baseman for the Chicago White Sox. After completeing an amazing rookie season where he was nearly rookie of the year, Alexei went and bought a new Mercedes-Benz S550.

He took his white benz to Exclusive Motoring in Miami, FL where Alex Vega (pictured to the left) hooked him up with some staggered 22″ Forgiato Estremos. These wheels are painted black and white in the center with a black lip that has a white pin stripe. The rear has a deep 5.5″ lip.

Perfect fitment and perfect finish on the wheels.

AL JEFFERSON'S CHEVY DONK

2011-09-24T03:44:00.002+00:00

Al Jefferson just got traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Utah Jazz and his comments were, “I go from being in a Toyota to a Bentley. It's a beautiful thing.” Maybe now that he is with the Jazz, he can step up his car game and actually get a Bentley.

Shown here is his 1986 Chevy Donk complete with chrome wheels, two-tone custom interior , custom maroon paint, white vinyl top, and the lowest profile tires I have ever seen. It also has “Big Al” stitched on the side of the seats! The only thing I like about this car is the way the doors open up like a Rolls Royce Phantom.

Hopefully with the change in teams, Al will change up his cars and move up to something a little nicer.

AL HARRINGTON'S PHANTOM DROPHEAD

2011-09-24T03:42:00.002+00:00

This blue Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead was customized by Kustom Kings in Sin City. It belongs to golden state warriors star Al Harrington.

The wheels are 24″ Satin Silver Forgiato Otto with Blue Windows and Blue Flange.

Car looks great as the wheels match with the brushed aluminum hood of the car. I think this phantom looks a lot better than Beckhams.

AKON'S NEW LAMBORGHINI MURCIELAGO

2011-09-24T03:40:00.001+00:00

Akon finally got it right. I have seen him with almost every wheel/car combination that you can imagine.

Here he is with his brand new white Lamborghini Murcielago with red interior. The wheels are white Forgiato Forcella with Red Windows. Pictured with him is Alex Vega of Exclusive Motoring.

Im sure this isnt the last time you guys will be seeing Akon on here, hes a custom car fanatic.This half a million dollar beast of a car was customized very well by Akon.

AUG 0 AKON SITTING ON HIS LAMBORGHINI GALLARDO

2011-09-24T03:38:00.002+00:00

Here is Akon sitting on the front end of his Lamborghini Gallardo. This is the second Lamborghini that Akon has to go along with his white Murcielago in an older post. It has 20″ black and chrome wheels. The chrome on the wheels matches the color of the car very nicely.

I cant tell what brand of wheels they are but they look good. They seem to have a bow shaped center to maximize the lip size. Akon is one of the few celebrities who really knows a lot about cars and always has very good taste

AHMAN GREEN'S DODGE MAGNUM

2011-09-24T03:36:00.000+00:00

Ahman Green, the running back for the Houston Texans, is seen here standing infront of his Dodge Magnum with 24″ chrome and red rims.

These rims are bad ass. They match this car perfectly and the design is incredible.

Ahman Green is a car fanatic and he seems to have a great taste in wheels and customizing.

Overall, great fitment, color scheme, and wheel design!

JACQUE REEVES AND HIS CHARGER

2011-09-24T03:34:00.002+00:00

Here is Jacque Reeves of the Houston Texans squatting infront of his 22″ Forgiato Martellato wheels on his Dodge Charger SRT8. The car is painted 3 tone (red/black/silver). The wheels also have heavy paint work on them, black lip/red pinstripe/red trim/chrome bolts.

A little too much going on here with all the paint.

Less is more.

ZACH RANDOLPH'S DONK | 76 IMPALA

2011-09-24T03:32:00.002+00:00

Zach Randolph is currently balling right now leading his Memphis Grizlles to a 2-1 series lead over the #1 seed San Antonio Spurs. Charles Barkley recently commented that Zach Randolph has the “most effective ugly game” he's ever seen. That may be true, but there is nothing ugly about his cars.

This 1976 Impala is painted PPG Vibrance Red. The Asanti AF143 wheels are color matched vibrance red and chrome. The tire sizes are 255/30/26. He has a crazy Kicker audio system installed which includes a ZX2500.1 amplifier, 4 15 inch solo classic subwoofers, kenwood head unit, 4 6″ mids, 4 6x9s, and a Sony DVD player.

Z-Bo knows exactly what hes doing with his old school Chevys. He has a very impressive fleet of donks and they are all customized the right way. 26s is the way to go on these cars – no bigger, no smaller.

MARTELL WEBSTER'S 300C SRT-8 (NEW RIMS)

2011-09-24T03:30:00.002+00:00

This is Martell Webster next to his two tone silver and black Chrysler 300C. We posted this car a long time ago on our website, and it looks like he modified it quite a bit since then.

He changed the wheels to ASANTI ELT wheels in gloss black barrels and Matte black centers, Magnacharger Supercharger package, and fresh Alcantara Suede inserts in the doors.

Martell, your not on your rookie contract anymore! What are you doing? Just sell this car and buy something nicer. I personally think you downgraded big time with the wheels. The ELT “mushroom” forging from Asanti makes a 22″ wheel look like an 18″ wheel. What's the point of having deep lips if the entire wheel is black?
