Stunning White Porsche Taycan with Brushed 22-Inch D10 Wheels

0

The Taycan represents the true passion and expression that goes into building a Porsche electric sports car – or any Porsche vehicle for that matter. The Taycan boasts striking proportions, a timeless design, and seamless blend of performance with everyday usability. As the German marque’s first-ever all-electric vehicle, this four-door sports car carries with it the brand’s pure and instantly recognizable design language. It marks the beginning of a new era for the brand as it expands into the e-mobility field, capturing both the hearts of EV and non-EV lovers alike. And while upgrading electric sports cars is still somewhat limited, there are a number of styling changes you can make to set them apart from the rest and make them yours. One such mod is installing a set of custom wheels that really accentuate the Porsche Taycan’s natural DNA.

Our customer William Øyen-Havekes, all the way in Norway, purchased a set of the new VR Forged D10 monoblock wheels for his own Porsche Taycan. Featuring a classic brushed finish, these D10s look spot on with the flawless exterior white paint and really makes those bold red calipers pop. The wheels are sized 22×10 at the front and 22×11.5 at the rear with a +56mm and +59mm offset respectively. Each individual wheel weighs in at about 14 kilograms (30 pounds) and has a load rating of up to 720 kilograms (1587 pounds). Recommended tire fitment for this setup is 265/30/22 for the front and 305/25/22 for the rear. 

The VR Forged D10 wheel is a one-piece fully forged wheel that features a thin split-spoke design with generous spaces to showcase your ride’s big brakes. The sleek star-like appearance looks great on almost any coupe or sedan, and really takes this German EV to the next level. Not only are these sporty wheels lightweight and sharp-looking, but they are designed for high-performance cars to last you for years and years to come. They are manufactured using a 10,000-ton press to ensure the highest levels of strength and resilience.

Porsche 997 GT3 Twin Turbo with 1300HP on Custom VR Forged Wheels

0

There is no doubting that the Porsche 997 GT3 is a beauty and a beast straight from the factory. Even so, a fresh set of wheels can really elevate the car’s unique DNA and set it apart from the pack. Our customer Todd Nall (IG: @blackhorseturbo) was looking for a fresh wheel setup for his own 997 GT3 and opted for custom VR Forged D03 wheels in a stunning Satin Bronze finish. The bronze color really contrasts the bright Guards Red Porsche paint beautifully and gives it that track-inspired feel.

The D03 VR Forged monoblock wheel features a one-piece forged construction that showcases a sultry, thin-spoke design with our signature V accent around the lug pattern. The detailed machine work near the center of the wheel draws your eye and turns it outward to the elegance of the slender spoke design. These lightweight forged wheels were manufactured using a 10,000-ton press, so you can rely on them to be incredibly strong for those more spirited driving events. These custom forged wheels have the knurling done on the bead seats so you won’t experience any issues with spinning tires on the rim. 

We crafted custom 19-inch D03 wheels for Todd: 19×8.5 +45mm (9.5 kg or 20.9 lbs) at the front and 19×12 +63mm (11 kg or 24.2 lbs) at the rear. We also made him 18×12 (10 kg or 22.0 lbs) rear wheels for his drag tires for when he is competing in half-mile or roll racing events. The overall weight savings is a really good amount when you compare it to the OEM 19-inch wheels on the Porsche GT3, and that certainly helps a lot too. For reference, the stock wheels on the Porsche 997 GT3 are 19×8.5 (24 lbs. 5 oz.) and 19×12 (30 lbs 13 oz.).

And if you look closely at the D03 wheels on his 997 GT3, you’ll notice we engraved the word “BlackHorseTurbo” on it for Todd. That has been his nickname for years in the Porsche world dating all the way back to 2007. Black Horse is the neighborhood he lived in in Texas and “turbo” comes from him having owned a 996 Turbo. You can also check out his YouTube Channel for more videos documenting his cars and events. Just this month, Todd participated in TX2K 2022 with his 1,300-horsepower 997 GT3 and did a 181.6mph pass with these custom VR Forged D03s. Check out the POV video clip below to see it in action!

Arctic White C8 Corvette Lowered on VR Forged D01 Wheels

0

The C8 Corvette is Chevrolet’s supercar-killer, offering exotic-level performance with a sports car price tag. It’s a true work of art with sharp body lines, advanced aerodynamics, and thrilling performance. Compared to previous generations, the eight-gen features better handling and responsiveness, more even weight distribution, greater visibility, improved engine cooling, and superior performance. Although the engine is now located behind the passenger compartment, it remains a 6.2-liter V8, albeit one that delivers 490 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque. With the dual-mode performance exhaust that comes with the optional Z51 package, it makes 495 horses. 

All that power means that you’ll surely be going places with the C8, and fast. And with that, you will definitely want some sweet wheels to give your ‘Vette a more customized look. Our customer chose the new VR Forged D01 monoblock wheels for his C8 Corvette and it’s safe to say that this was a match made in heaven. The car was first lowered on a set of VR Performance Front Lowering Collars, which gives it a more aggressive look. C8 models with the factory front lift kit have a ride height that needs to be lowered in order to achieve that bold stance that the Z51 cars have without the nose lift. Since the rear is already adjustable from the factory, VR came up with lowering collars for the front to even out the look. 

After lowering his C8, this customer knew that a fresh set of wheels would really enhance the overall look of this build. The D01 forged monoblock wheels are ideal for sports cars like the Corvette because they are not only stylish but also incredibly lightweight and durable. The D01s feature an enthralling design with several “V” elements all around and spot-on machine work that shows the strict attention to detail paid to these wheels. It’s a unique design that really compliments the bold lines and angles of the C8 body. And the durable, sleek matte black finish looks great against the high-gloss Arctic White factory paint job.

For reference, this Corvette C8 sits on 20×9.5 +38mm 5×120 D01 wheels at the front and 21×12.5 +58mm 5×120 wheels at the rear. The front wheels weigh 11.4 kilograms (25.1 pounds) and the rear wheels are 13.9 kilograms (30.6 pounds). Each D01 forged wheel has a load rating of up to 690 kilograms (1521 pounds). Recommended tire size for this set is 255/30/20 and 325/25/21, respectively.  

Features: 

  • All VR Forged wheels include center caps.
  • They are designed to work with most OEM TPMS sensors.
  • Some wheels may require aftermarket lug nuts or bolts.
  • Weights are estimated from engineering and scale tests.
  • Wheels are designed to work with OEM brakes and most big brake kits.  Please provide BBK template if you have questions on fitment.
  • All wheels go through extensive testing to meet proper regulations. View Manufacturing Details Here.

It blends sporty looks with satisfying power figures in a singular V6 “supercar” package that can be enjoyed by a vast range of drivers. The Nissan GT-R offers advanced safety features and technology to give you added confidence behind the wheel to drive the car like it’s meant to be driven. The current platform is so intuitive, that it’s comfortable enough for daily driving while still delivering fun weekend getaways and thrilling track days. With nearly 600 horses stock, the GT-R certainly does not disappoint. But how do you transfer all that power to the ground? Our customer Jameson (IG: @Jdmax_6.6) chose to go with a set of VR Forged D09 wheels.

The VR Forged D09 wheel features a high-strength monoblock construction that was made using a 10,000-ton press. It has a very traditional mesh motorsports-inspired design with split Y spokes all about, along with lightweight pockets and intricate machining details. Perfectly matched to a high-performance sports coupe like the R35 GT-R, the VR Forged D09 wheel was built to turn heads. For those seeking out a highly durable wheel that won’t add unnecessary weight to their car, VR Forged has you covered and the D09 checks all the boxes. Jameson’s Nissan GT-R is sitting on 20×10 +30mm 5×114.3 D09 wheels at the front and 20×12 +25mm 5×114.3 at the rear. He opted for the Satin Bronze finish on these wheels to give it that tuner look and contrast the bold satin blue wrap. 

According to his Instagram, this customer’s GT-R is making over 1000whp after the latest tune. To ensure that no power is lost due to poor aerodynamics, he also installed the Aeromotions S2.Dynamic 65-Inch Wing on his ride. This rear wing is wind tunnel-designed and race-proven to shave time off your best lap. It features Aeromotions’ signature high-downforce, low-drag wing-blade with the most advanced airfoil available for your car – borrowed from a military UAV. These have been used to break track records all across the globe. The strategic teardrop-shaped uprights were optimized for low drag and the split lets drivers carve turns with every advantage possible. The S2 Dynamic Wing is easily the most advanced aero package available for the GT-R.
