BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT featuring DONZ 3PC Forged Wheels

Hey Guys,

I just figured I would share some pics of a Bentley Continental GT that we did about 3-4 weeks ago.

The color is OEM and its very very hard to capture in pics, its called Neptune Blue and I must preface this by saying it looks ALOT better in person. The thing that is MANDATORY on these vehicles when mounting 22" wheels is a proper lowering. Many of you may wonder why you never see one of these lowerered, its because its NOT easy to do. After days and days of reasearch, it finally got done.

The client wanted to emulate the OEM 19" wheel design in 22", and the DONZ Costello did the trick perfectly, the kicker is the 22x10.5 rear wheel is lighter than the OEM 19" wheel! :thumbup:

This vehicle features

DONZ COSTELLO 3pc FORGED
22x9 2.5" front lip
265/30-22
22x10.5 3.5" rear lip
295/25-22
Approx 2.5" Electronic Lowering

Feel free to SEND A EMAIL for more info on the car or mods

Looks horrible, IMO, but to each their own. How did you end up lowering it?

No rubbing whatsoever and no issues with NYC potholes either (thank god for forged wheels)

The client wanted to emulate the OEM Bentley 5star so this wheel was a great choice. The overall effect is really clean in person, however its hard to capture in pictures.

Now THAT'S a BIATCHIN RIDE! Your client coulda went with a magnum with a bently grill if you really wanted those rims. Why, you don't like the white gt over the blue? Why don't you show the white gt to your blue customer and see what he says

Honestly, you have to see the blue on in person, everyone that hates it in pics, loves it in person. Also, we have to support our clientele with the best products that satisfy THEIR requirements, not our own. He just wanted something that was similar to the OEM chrome 5star.

Seriously though, if you see the car, I think you would have to retract that "magnum with Bentley grill" stab, that was kinda rough (lol)
