WSTO goes to SEMA

Victory Road · 11-05-2009, 07:07 PM

This year Julis and I went to the SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was a short trip as we flew in Tuesday morning and flew out Wednesday night. However, it was a great trip. Met a lot of great people, and saw some amazing...and not so amazing, cars

.

This year seemed to be dominated by the Nissan GTR and new Chevy Camaro. However, there were all types of cars including Hyundai Genesis, various BMW, Mercedes, Lambo, and many more. I will let the pictures do most of the talking!

7 series seem to be rather popular this year, most of them blinged out

325/25/30 tires on a Hummer. When I first saw it we thought it was a 245 wide, but the crazy diameter lead to an optical illusion.

Crazy drop-top Lexus we found at the Lexus booth...right near the LF-A

Mercedes on Giovanna wheels and Fabulous (the brand) body kit...that apparently this man really liked

Premiere 4509 is a new aero line from the guys at Veilside. They had this Aston Martin on display, that was simply gorgeous

Many slammed pickups outside at the show. I really liked this one

Very classic looking race inspired Civic on Advan RG2 wheels

Volk GT-S wheels on a bold S2000

Work Emotion CR Kai with Seibon Carbon bits

Wheel fitment is so nice on this. Has VIP curtains on the side windows too

Many pro drift cars were on display. Including Chris Forsebergs NOS 350Z and Vaugh Gitten's Falken Ford Mustang

ForgeStar F14 on a Hyundai Genesis

Carbon Kevlar Intake on an S2000

Aggressive wheel fitment on Mini Cooper

Advan RS-D on a Hyundai Genesis...I still like them better on M3

Volk LE37 on an E46 M3

VERY large dish on the DPE wheels

Berk Technologies 135i

Flat Blue S2000 on Work Equip wheels. I still can not decide if I like this or not

E30...need I say more?

Klassen Wheels on a nice IS

Modulare Forged M11 with hidden hardware!! Look very nice

Volk G2 on a Nissan GTR...perfect fitment and looks

One of the few M3's at Sema. At least it was looking good on Advan RS-D

BBS CH-R on a GT-R?!?!?

Lincoln MK-S...I'm really beginning to like this car

Bright Chrome RS-D on an R34 Skyline! Also available for BMW

Enkei NTO3+M on H&R and EvoSport's E46 M

Yokohama AVS F15 is one of our favorite wheels here at the shop, and it looked so right on this Benz

The Subaru had a crazy display of custom work with Ken Block's STi. It even included a trailer to jam all his friends in!

Pagani Zonda-R had plenty of drool all over it. $1.5+ million for this bad boy

Vossen Forged had a very nice display, including a new S5

Savini Wheels were mounted on this Lambo, with a nice lip. As well as a display showing their impressive color customization

Nexen had on display the first 365/15R24 tire! Bringing a whole new meaning to "rubber band tire"

Forgestar had an impressive display, including a Carbon look F14

The new Enkei PF01 was impressive. Great looks with the strength and weight that is so well known on their current RPF1

Forgiato as usual had a nice display of their offerings, including their new Monoblock line

Our friends over at Makin Distribution had a great display of their product line.

MXP By Makin is releasing a new M3 exhaust kit with burnt exhaust tips!

The new G-games S0G wheel, available in BMW fitment

I am not generally a fan of old Muscle, but this thing was gorgeous

ADV1 was on display on the Eneos F430

High Meta Bronze on a Volk G2 looked really good, and something we havn't seen before

Vaugh Gitten released his new Mustang RTR package...this thing is "Ready to Rock"

This is the RTR-C, with a lot of Carbon body panels and CF HRE wheels

New AFE closed intake for 335i was impressive

AFE's new system for the E90/92 M3. Also available with a black powder coated cover

Advan High Center Cap on full Matte Black RS-D

The new, all-mighty, Lexus LF-A

These are some extra pictures we took. Enjoy!

Sick shots guys, but you needed Johan for sure

That 67' Camaro looks sick and Enkei has some nice wheels

Wow alot of sick rides. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, nice pictures...great variety too! Were there any C63's at SEMA, and if so have any pictures? Modified hopefully. I know of one from Evosport, but hoping there were others. Always looking for ideas

Thanks.

Dartanium · 11-05-2009, 10:22 PM

sweet pics, AFE's new intake system looks interesting, will wait for some real work feedback

SV Concepts III · 11-05-2009, 10:32 PM

AWESOME photos, thank you for sharing

veightkiller · 11-05-2009, 10:50 PM

Hot rides!

Johnny Lin · 11-05-2009, 11:02 PM

Too many choice on the wheels. I cant decide, haha. Thanks for sharing

Optherion · 11-05-2009, 11:06 PM

It seems that a few years ago spinner rims were the hottest thing, followed shortly by "murdered out" (blacked out everything) and now the flat color scheme on paint jobs.

Ive really lost my excitement with SEMA. I attended this year and of all the cars there , I definately did not expect to a mustang with such a clean carbon fiber body work. Every car there practically had a carbon hood or trunk. Glad you snapped a photo of it. While its not the most amazing car I have ever seen, I sure did not expect to see it. I had to do a double take.

Optherion · 11-05-2009, 11:11 PM

Does it bother anyone else that the hood doesn't look like it is closed? The gap in the front has been bothering me every time I look at it. How can that possibly be good for aerodynamics.
