Wheelsandmore Aston Martin Vantage

Wheelsandmore, the worldwide premier tuning company of Aston Martin models presents its state-of-the-art Aston Martin New Vantage of the latest generation.

With extroverted designs as well as eye-catching colors Aston Martin intends to specifically target younger buyers in the future with the new Vantage. The 155.000 Euro expensive entry-level model marks the beginning of the traditionalist critically eyed image change – inveterate Aston Martin fans are still holding back on the purchase of the new Vantage V8. The British sportscar shines not only with its usual impeccable workmanship in the interior. In particular, the implied AMG 4.0 bi-turbo engine as well as the modern chassis raise the New Vantage to a contemporary level, which the predecessor sometimes missed. Thanks to its new qualities, the smallest Aston now provides a perfect basis for the customization skills of the specialists at Wheelsandmore. With plenty of expertise and stylistically chosen style, a refinement program for more exclusivity and to sharpen the athletic attributes.

Rims for Aston Martin New Vantage in 21 inches and 22 inches

The British manufacturer continues the use of the unusual bolt circle of 5x128mm also with the Aston Martin New Vantage. As the only TUV-certified producer in Europe, the wheel manufacturer offers perfect fitting multi-part forged wheels sizing 21 and 22 inch for the New Vantage. Once again Wheelsandmore is documenting their outstanding position in the production of exclusive high-performance rims. From the wheel portfolio the company presents the classic design 6Sporz² with a noble carbonlook surface as well as the new concave, directional wheel design FORK with central locking optics in the photo gallery. Both models can be configured either in 9.5×21 and 11.5×21 inches with the matching tires in sizes 265/35/21 and 315/30/21 or in 10.0×22 inches with 265/30/22 and on the rear axle sizing 12,0×22 inches with 315/25/22 tires. Bigger rims are just the beginning … The engine power that elicits the tuning professional the AMG engine is simply breathtaking.

Performance upgrade for Aston Martin New Vantage

As Wheelsandmore already got lot of experience with the M177 DE engine from the C63 AMG and AMG GT tuning programs, the tuning professionals also developed larger turbochargers, sport catalytic converters and a valve flap exhaust system with corresponding software for the New Aston Martin Vantage. The final dyno test bench attested Wheelsandmore a new power about 680hp and 820Nm of torque. The new top speed is estimated by the tuner with +330 km/h with appropriate tire release. For the acceleration sprint up to 100 km/h the sleek coupe needs only 3.3s after the visit at Wheelsandmore and closes the gap to the much more expensive DBS Superleggera. Best arguments for those who have been holding back with buying a new Aston Martin Vantage.

Wheelsandmore Nissan GTR tuning

Since almost 10 years Nissan drives the renowned sports car manufacturers from Zuffenhausen, Maranello and Affalterbach with their R35 GT-R in terms of longitudinal acceleration to insanity. The all-wheel-driven monster with its V6 bi-turbo engine passes the 100 km/h border in less than 3 seconds. A dream car for the players on their gaming consoles and for acceleration junkies anyway. You can buy it like that and indulge in the mix of adrenaline and endorphins without restraint… Or are you looking for the absolute extra ordinary, an optic to melt away, mouth lock and “ear”- gasm included. Then luxury refiner Wheelsandmore from Baesweiler in Germany with their tuning program for the Nissan GTR is exactly the right expert to provide more “Wows” and “Ahhs” by riding out through the climes.

The standard engine power of 570hp and 637Nm is upgraded at Wheelsandmore in 5 different power levels as follows:
Stage I: Through optimized software and a F1 air filter kit Wheelsandmore generates 605hp and 700nm out of the 2017 GTR engine
Stage 2: In combination with sports catalysts, the tuner achieves 630hp and 800Nm of torque
Stage 3: Combined with modified exhaust system and catalyst replacement pipes the tuner measured 650hp and tight 830Nm of torque
Stage 4: In addition to Stage3, the turbochargers are replaced, other wastegate cans and more powerful gasoline pumps were installed. With sports catalysts and adaptation of the transmission control approximately 700hp and 850Nm were measured
Stage 5 – CrankZilla – As in Stage 4 but with catalyst replacement tubes and with the appropriate software finally 740hp and 900nm were gained.

Of course Wheelsandmore recognized and respects the internet clips of GT-R conversions with over 1000 hp but with 740hp the GTR driving machine is tuned up to the maximum to be handled safe on the track.

The valve flap exhaust system can optionally be ordered without catalytic converters, but handle the gas pedal very carefully when the damper is open, as the system otherwise sounds infernally loud to attract attention …

With the F.I.W.E. wheels the unique german manufacturer of multipart forged rims presents a provocative striking symbiosis of noble, wide and yet consistent. The 3-piece rims turn on the steering axle measuring 9.5×21 inches and on the rear in proud 11.0×21 inches. 255/35/21 and 295/30/21 tires from Continental ensure the contact with the roadway. Wheelsandmore adapted the wheel center finish analogous to the advertising lettering and the brake system in a color mixture of bronze and copper and finalized the rim outer beds with a discreet noble carbon look surface. The optical appearance is rounded off by height-adjustable lowering springs from KW, which reduce the center of gravity of the racer about 30mm.

Mercedes G63 AMG Tuning

The latest Mercedes AMG tuning conversion is a 2019 Mercedes Benz G63 AMG first edition with massive 24 inch wheels, a remote controlled valve flap exhaustsystem and a power tune up to 780hp and 1000nm of torque.

As the all new G-Class 63AMG is coming as well with a downsized 4,0 turbocharged AMG engine providing 585hp and 850NM of torque Wheelsandmore used their experience with this type of engine components already obtained with the E63 AMG engine. By the use of ball beared, larger turbochargers combined with downpipes and flow optimized valve flap exhaustsystem adapted to remapped ecu the noble tuner achieves with Stage 3 tuning a total power of 780hp and 1000nm of torque. If this upgrade is too much for you the company also provides smaller tunings with 650 or 700hp.

Optically the imposing appearance of the G-Class is already fearing but with the perfect fitting G-Logic rims sizing 24 inches the tuner puts up the G63 AMG to the next level. Vredestein supplies the perfect AWD suitable tires sizing 295/30/24 and if this is not enough for your eyes there are also maximum 355/25/24 tires for 12,5×24” wheels available. The lightweight wheels fit without required body modifications and keeps the original style of the G-Class with a quite similar wheel design.

What are the differences between a Camaro 2SS and Camaro 1SS?

camaro

The famous Chevrolet car Company is locally called Chevy and officially Chevrolet. It was founded in Michigan’s Detroit city in the United States of America on November 3, 1911. Chevrolet is also one of the most popularautomobile brand worldwide. In fact, this is the brand that sells the maximum number of vehicles annually if you check the statistics globally.

The brand offers a varied range of vehicles starting from medium-duty commercial trucks to the other subcompact automobiles. Chevrolet has operations running in over 14 countries worldwide. Amongst all its other vehicles, the name Camaro is one the oldest and most popular too.

The first Camaro model manufacture took place in 1966 and it hit the showrooms in 1967. The most common characteristics of a Camaro are the four doors along with the convertible/hardtop with two engine varieties- V8 or V6. In this article, we will mainly focus on the topic camaro 1ss vs 2ss.

Camaro 1ss vs 2ss- explanation

camaro2

The primary difference between the Camaro 1ss and the Camaro 2SS is that the former is the basic model, and the latter is a more advanced one. By advanced in this case we mean that the Camaro 2SS seems to be an upgraded version of the 1SS model with modifications such as a range of additional amenities and features. For a clearer example, the 2SS is different from the 1SS just like the 2LT is from the 1LT model.

Let’s get a comparison table to get a better idea of what makes the Camaro 2SS different from the Camaro 1SS.

Comparison parameters	Camaro 2SS	Camaro 1SS
Primary	This one is a modified version of the 1SS model with additional amenities and features for some extra comfort	This one is the most basic model
Horsepower and engine	Horsepower 455 with a 6.2l V8 LTI engine	Horsepower 455 with a 6.2l V8 DI engine
Ventilated and heated leather seats	Yes	no
Traffic alert with blindspot monitoring	Yes	no
Rear parking assistant	Yes	no
Wireless charging	Yes	no
Mirror memory	Yes	no

The Camaro 1SS revealed:

camaro3

The Chevrolet’s Camaro 1SS is primarily a sport car and secondarily a muscles car. It is locally also called an American Pony that was first manufactured in 1966 to hit the roads in 1967. The Camaro 1SS comes with a 455 horsepower and a 6.2 liter V8 DI engine. The torque of this car is also 455 lb. -ft that comes along with plain seat cloths.

There are mainly two body types available for this car, one is the convertible and the other is the coupe one. While the former comes with seven trim levels along with either manual or automatic transmission, the coupe one has eight trim levels and four engines. The convertible version consists of a basic trim with a 4-cylinder turbocharged engine and a main 3.6 liter engine too.

The vehicle comes with a 455-pound foot torque and a 455 horsepower. Besides, the 3LT, 2LT, and 1LT trims keep the 3.6 liter DI V8 engine as one of the options. Therefore, there is an addition of extra standard equipment with a little more hike in the price.

The Camaro 2SS revealed

Similar to the 1SS model, this one is also available in mainly two types of body- the convertible and the coupe. Therefore, you can expect four engines and seven trim levels for the convertible and eight for the coupe variety. Plus, there are features such as rev-matching, Brembo Brakes with a magnetic ride guide and more. These features are present in the Camaro 1SS too.

The 2SS accompanies double zone programmed environment control and individual environment settings for driver and regarded traveler controls and outside temperature show, then again, in Camaro 1SS there is just one air control for the whole vehicle.

The Camaro 2SS accompanies the heads-up shading advanced readouts for the vehicle’s speed, chosen gear g-power, sound framework, high shaft pointers, the compass, outside air temperature, the blinker, the tachometer, vehicle messages, turn-by-turn data, and telephone messages alongside aluminum covers at entryway manages with the shifter covers and inside range lighting with a decision of 24 tones and the lighting is managed on the radio or more the cup holder.

The mirror in the rearview has auto-diminishing and is frameless which gives it a snazzy look, warmed seats for driver and traveler just as ventilated seats for driver and traveler, seal plates that enlighten the Camaro logo when the client opens the entryway independent of the side of the vehicle, a warmed directing wheel with a general home distant that incorporates carport entryway opener and three-channel programming, remote charging for the client’s gadgets.

Additionally, in the outside, the clients get outside warmed force flexible and driver-side auto-diminishing body-shading mirrors, the back park help, the back intersection traffic ready, the side visually impaired zone alert along the path change alert.

The memory bundle reviews two drivers’ presets alongside eight-way power driver seats and outside mirrors, which implies the client gets a 8-way power seat on the two sides. The Camaro 2SS has 455 drive and 455 pound-feet of force. The 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT trims add the 3.6-liter V8 as a choice, adding more standard gear with each progression up in cost.

Bentley New Continental GT

After Startech and Arden released their conversion parts Wheelsandmore has also completed its tuning program for the current Continental GT 3S. Without touching the body shapes and silhouettes, the German tuning company achieves a harmonious and powerful upgrade for the elegant gran tourer.

Away from current discussions about reducing fuel consumption and emissions the current New Continental GT still provides a W12 bi-turbo engine with 6 liters and 635 hp output. With 900nm torque the four-wheel drive pushes the coupe impressive and passes the 100 kmh mark already after 3.7s. Now the Wheelsandmore program offers two different upgrade levels for the power-hungry customers. The increasement is gained either by remapping the control units or available as a very easy to install plug-and-play variant with an additional control unit. In stage 1 the noble tuner transforms the power into 751hp and 1050nm of torque. In the second stage, the refiner drives even sharper parameters and adapts them to his flap-controlled exhaust system. With 343 kmh top speed and 795 hp engine power with a maximum of 1100 nm torque, the New Continental then turns posthumously into a real Porsche killer. The acceleration sprint from 0-100kmh is finished after 3,28s with the stage 2 upgrade tuning.

After extensive development work the Wheelsandmore technicians have succeeded in developing a full-sounding, throughput-optimized and TUV-approved exhaust system. The particle filter remains completely in the original exhaust system. The original pre-muffler dummy is connected by voluminous pipes to the flap-controlled rear silencer. The result is a rich, dull rumble, as befits a luxury coupe of this class.

Technically the New Continental GT 3S uses lot of known parts from current Porsche Panamera. It is therefore hardly surprising that the axles, brakes and wheel connection dimensions of Porsche are the same with high offsets and less space to the outside and brake calipers. In conjunction with the already immense speed and the mounted 21 inch wheels, the tuner Wheelsandmore had no other option as developing a special new 22 inch wheel for the 3S. After many rough designs and countless simulations, the manufactory has designed its new model B-Sport in 9.5 and 11.5×22 inches for the new Bentley. Available in silver and black, the classic Y-spoke designed wheel looks very filigree on the bulky New Continental and visually at least as big as a 23-inch wheel due to the spokes reaching to the outer edge and the concave contour. The matching tires are coming from the high performance specialists from Pirelli, where they have homologated tires in sizes 275/35/22 and 315/30/22 up to the vmax of 343 kmh.

Lowering height of the stock air suspension is possible due a new plug-and-play lowering module, which can easily be plugged into the chassis circuit. The lowering module can be controlled both by original suspension control from the interior as well as by innovative mobile APP. The APP is suitable for all Iphone devices and smartphones with Android operating system.

Aston Martin DBS Superleggera Tuning

Although other tuning companies are providing tuning components for the sports cars from Aston Martin, Wheelsandmore from Germany is still the first address when it comes to the refinement of all Aston Martin models since 2004. With the conversion of the current top model, a DBS Superleggera, Wheelsandmore proves once again how a tuning can combine different styles, in the end sporty discreet, yet stylistically and technically decisively improved.

With 725hp engine power, the sleek Gran Tourer is without a doubt one of the most powerful 2 + 2 seaters on the planet. Responsible for this performance and 900Nm torque is the self-developed 5.2l bi-turbo V12 engine. Once the subject of forced breathing comes into play, the tuner’s heart beats faster and the software developers are happy to modify the corresponding parameters to increase performance, in order to be able to offer a steady increase in performance. With the control units of the new generation, it already requires appropriate know-how to be able to make modifications. Wheelsandmore offers both, an increase in performance in the course of classic chiptuning, as well as an easy-to-install plug-and-play solution with an additional control unit. In both cases, the torque increases by 130Nm and the power grows by 105 additional horsepower. The standard top speed remains unchanged even after the modification with 340 km/h. The tuning upgrade is offered for the price of 4.193 EURO each.

Since the DBS Superleggera is largely based on the DB11 and Wheelsandmore has launched a program with special rims for this model already in the year 2017, it was unproblematic for the noble tuner to develop appropriate rims for the super sports car. From the multi-part rim program, the model F.I.W.E. was specially developed for the DBS Superleggera for the first time sizing 22 inches. In order to meet the customer’s demand for the most discreet yet appealingly sporty look, the Aston Martin tuning expert customized the rims on the front axle in 10×22″ and measuring 12×22″ on the drive axle. The road contact is made by high performance Pirelli tires in 265/30/22 and 315/25/22 inches with the appropriate release up to the maximum speed limit.

From the tuner’s point of view, these measures are exactly those that make the DBS Superleggera an absolute supercar. As the rim parts are always made to customer specifications in color and surface, it can be assumed that each finished Aston Martin DBS Superleggera from Wheelsandmore will ultimately be an individual one-off item according to customer specifications. Rims can certainly be assembled by many wheel companies in the world. But such extreme sizes for the latest vehicles with German TUV approval are only available at Wheelsandmore!

Wheelsandmore Lamborghini Urus Tuning

With 650 horsepower and 850Nm of torque the Urus ranged at the top of all SUV power cars until the Bentayga Speed was launched. Wheelsandmore lifts the Urus back again up to the pole position of this segment and offers 3 different upgrades, which makes a visit to the tuner from the Rhineland not necessary because all components can be installed without costly conversions to the car. All upgrades can be implemented either with an easy to install additional control unit or by remapping the ecu. In Stage 1 the tuner achieves a massive performance boost of additional 125hp and 100Nm of torque. By using 200 cell sport catalytic converters the engine power is increased with another 15hp / 15Nm in stage 2. If the catalysts are exchanged with replacement pipes the power grows to finally 808hp and 972Nm in stage 3. With prices between 2.521 – 5.469 EURO there is certainly still budget available for a throughput-optimized flap exhaust system. The exhaust system for the price of 4.029 EURO.

Like many other manufacturers of sporty vehicles, VAG subsidiary Lamborghini has realized that many customers now want to have the largest possible wheels for an ideal appearance of their vehicle and that those can live with a slight loss of comfort. After in the year 2018 the Urus was available only with maximum 22-inch wheels, it´s offered since 2019 optionally with 23-inch wheels. Therefore, the challenge for the tuner is not only to develop the gear train dimensionally, but also visually appealing than the manufacturer. Wheelsandmore mounted the Continental UHP tires in sizes 295/35/23 and 335/30/23 on forged rims measuring 10.5×23 and 12.0×23 inches to accommodate the original body perfectly without additional parts.

The complete wheel set with TPMS is offered at the price of 9.999 EURO.

With the aid of a plug-and-play module that is easy to install, the driver has the option of setting the chassis height to the millimeter with the help of a smartphone APP. The suspension tuning module, which has already been successfully used in the Audi Q7, can be rewarded with EUR 1.679 at the luxury tuner.

Nissan GTR R35 Tuning
Since almost 10 years Nissan drives the renowned sports car manufacturers from Zuffenhausen, Maranello and Affalterbach with their R35 GT-R in terms of longitudinal acceleration to insanity. The all-wheel-driven monster with its V6 bi-turbo engine passes the 100 km/h border in less than 3 seconds. A dream car for the players on their gaming consoles and for acceleration junkies anyway. You can buy it like that and indulge in the mix of adrenaline and endorphins without restraint… Or are you looking for the absolute extra ordinary, an optic to melt away, mouth lock and “ear”- gasm included. Then luxury refiner Wheelsandmore from Baesweiler in Germany with their tuning program for the Nissan GTR is exactly the right expert to provide more “Wows” and “Ahhs” by riding out through the climes.
The standard engine power of 570hp and 637Nm is upgraded at Wheelsandmore in 5 different power levels as follows:
- Stage I: Through optimized software and a F1 air filter kit Wheelsandmore generates 605hp and 700nm out of the 2017 GTR engine
- Stage 2: In combination with sports catalysts, the tuner achieves 630hp and 800Nm of torque
- Stage 3: Combined with modified exhaust system and catalyst replacement pipes the tuner measured 650hp and tight 830Nm of torque
- Stage 4: In addition to Stage3, the turbochargers are replaced, other wastegate cans and more powerful gasoline pumps were installed. With sports catalysts and adaptation of the transmission control approximately 700hp and 850Nm were measured
- Stage 5 – CrankZilla – As in Stage 4 but with catalyst replacement tubes and with the appropriate software finally 740hp and 900nm were gained.
Of course Wheelsandmore recognized and respects the internet clips of GT-R conversions with over 1000 hp but with 740hp the GTR driving machine is tuned up to the maximum to be handled safe on the track.

The valve flap exhaust system can optionally be ordered without catalytic converters, but handle the gas pedal very carefully when the damper is open, as the system otherwise sounds infernally loud to attract attention …

With the F.I.W.E. wheels the unique german manufacturer of multipart forged rims presents a provocative striking symbiosis of noble, wide and yet consistent. The 3-piece rims turn on the steering axle measuring 9.5×21 inches and on the rear in proud 11.0×21 inches. 255/35/21 and 295/30/21 tires from Continental ensure the contact with the roadway. Wheelsandmore adapted the wheel center finish analogous to the advertising lettering and the brake system in a color mixture of bronze and copper and finalized the rim outer beds with a discreet noble carbon look surface. The optical appearance is rounded off by height-adjustable lowering springs from KW, which reduce the center of gravity of the racer about 30mm.

Mercedes AMG GTR Roadster „Hypaero“

The Mercedes tuner also installs the tried and tested M178 DE40 AL bi-turbo engine in the AMG GTR Roadster, which provides turbocharged 585 hp from a displacement of 4 liters and speeds up to 317 kmh. With these performance data, certainly only a few people will think about a necessary trip to the tuner. For those who can´t get enough of emotional driving pleasure Wheelsandmore has several performance enhancements in the program joining the speed and power up to 335 kmh. Level 1: A classic optimization of the maps combined with a F1 air filter kit gains an increase in performance up to approx. 650hp and 780nm torque at a price of 2,521 euros Stage 2: The corresponding maps are adapted to the new sports catalytic converters, which leads to an engine output of approx. 670hp and 830nm, price with assembly is 7,479 EURO Stage 3: The components from stage 2 are joined by finely balanced turbochargers with a larger compressor unit – the result is 750hp and 860nm of torque at a total price of 16,723 EURO The focus of all increases in performance is on drive-ability and not the maximum possible increase in performance. Of course, well over 800hp are possible in the AMG GTR, but effort, benefits and suitability for everyday use are then out of proportion, says head of technology at Wheelsandmore Mr. Torsten Pick. Anyone who has ever heard an AMG GTR live also knows why there is no valve exhaust system from Wheelsandmore for the supercar this time…

The optical recognition feature of the “Hypaero” are the matte black F.I.W.E. forged wheels, which Wheelsandmore is still building from 3 individual parts by hand and taylors according to customer requirements in the appropriate color or combination. For the AMG GTR the tuner builds the concave special wheel with TUV approval in the maximum possible dimensions 10.5×20 at the front and 12.5×21 inches at the rear. Light tires from Michelin span in sizes 275/30/20 and 325/25/21 on the exclusive rims. The prices for a complete wheel set starts with original TPMS sensors at 11,513 EURO.

If a manufacturer is able to develop a better chassis than the manufacturer did, then it is chassis leader KW. Together with the engineers from Fichtenberg, a Variant 4 coilover kit with hydraulic lift-up function was developed, which improves the suitability for the racetrack on the one hand through extensive adjustment options and on the other hand offers full suitability for everyday use thanks to the lifting option on the front axle. So much technology and innovation unfortunately has its proud price, to be had from 7,789 EURO without assembly. Installation with the Roadster takes not less than 3 whole working days and costs additionally 1,672 EURO with wheel alignment.

Audi RS6 C8 „@TenTension“ by Wheelsandmore

Stage 1:
Using classic software optimization, the Audi tuner generates 710hp and 920Nm torque from the original (441kW) 600hp and 800nm of torque.
The price for the upgrade is about family-friendly 2,100 EURO With the ecu upgrade the v-max lock will be removed with all optimizations!

Stage 2:
In addition to the matching engine control, the luxury tuner installs a flap-controlled exhaust system from Capristo, which replaces the front and middle silencers for flow-optimized and acoustically relevant reasons. This upgrade results in an engine output of 725hp and a maximum of 930nm torque.
Price for stage 2 including assembly: 7,688 EURO

Stage 3:
Due to the lack of TUV approval, the exhaust system is no longer used and the tuner replaces the air duct and filter housing together with filters for optimized versions and implements modified intake manifolds. This upgrade to 786hp and 1060nm is available from Wheelsandmore with the appropriate blessing from the regulatory authorities at a price of EUR 12,521

Stage 4:
All components from stage 3 are supplemented by revised turbochargers. The series turbos receive larger turbine shafts, as well as a correspondingly modified compressor unit, reinforced axial bearings and larger-sized inputs.
Also this upgrade to crazy 965hp and 1250! nm enjoys the blessing of the TUV through appropriate acceptance and is offered at a price of just 33,529 euros.

Stage 5:
Out of any TUV standard Wheelsandmore offers the final Stage 5. Everything that disturbs power from the modern EURO 6-d Temp emission and eats performance is replaced by empty pipes beginning the downpipes from the turbochargers. Catalysts, gasoline particulate filters and all silencers other than the rear silencers fall victim to the upgrade. The result is a magical 1010 hp upgrade with electronically limited torque at 1250nm.
Upgrade price: 41,932 EURO including assembly

Audi has now also realized that the sporty driver is more and more concerned with individual options without regard to comfort and already offers a neat 22-inch gear train from the factory. Due to the correspondingly low offsets, however, the manufacturer does not invite customers or tuners to purchase alternative rims that match the accessories. Since most customers with an interest in a modified wheel / tire combination are always concerned with the maximum possible widening, in this case wider rims or wheels with almost neutral offsets are required.

Compared to some other tuners Wheelsandmore has taken a while to construct the perfectly fitting wheels and presents 3 different models including a new monoblock design.
The well-known designs 6Sporz² and F.I.W.E. are expanded by the new design “Atom”. All 3 rim models are either available on both axles with 295/30/22 Continental tires or when using the wider 11.5J rims on the rear with 285/30/22 and 335/25/22 tires. The price for a complete wheel set with TPMS sensors starts at 6,300 EURO.
All rim designs can be individually finished in any color and can also be front polished using an in-house CNC machine to implement an elegant bi-color effect.

As with the predecessor C7, suspension manufacturer KW also has various options for optimizing and lowering the suspension in its range for the current RS6. In addition to a Variant 4 coilover kit for 4,369 Euros, Wheelsandmore also offers adjustable lowering springs at a price of 755 Euros.

Audi R8 V10 with 1050 hp „Apocalypticar“

Audi´s high-revving V10 engine is without question one of the most solid units on the market and combines sportiness with high suitability for everyday use. The all-wheel-drive model type 4S is currently flanked by the 620hp performance model. Wheelsandmore has been offering a powerful compressor upgrade called B3AST² with almost 800hp engine power since the model was introduced in 2015. In addition, the manufacturer offers minor upgrades using software optimization, also combined with a flap exhaust system from exhaust specialist Capristo. But the latest upgrade will let the hearts of tuning fans beat even faster. The 10-cylinder engine remains completely untouched, but receives a set of asymmetrically working turbochargers, which are supported by special tailored water- and charge air coolers. With the appropriate software for the engine control and the adapted transmission control, which transmits hte signals to a high-performance double clutch from Promax, switchable 1050hp at 1000nm of torque via a boost controller are good enough for a new top speed of 357 km/h. The acceleration values:0-100 km / h = 2.7s0-200 km / h = 6.3s100-200 km / h = 3.6s0-300 km / h = 14.2 s0-357 km / h = 20.3s With prices between 2,940 EURO and 66,387 EURO for the Stage IV 430hp upgrade, Wheelsandmore has the right tuning upgrade for the R8 V10 for every requirement and budget.

Optically the modified super sports car hardly gives any idea of the performance it is capable of. The only visible but striking feature are the hand-made forged wheels of the type F.I.W.E., which fully fill the wheel arches in all directions coated in matt black. Wheelsandmore mounted the wheel 9.5×20 inches on the steering axle and covered it with 255/30/20 tires from Continental and on the other axle in the brutal size 12.0×21 inches with 325/25/21 tires.The prices for a wheel set customized in color and surface according to customer requirements are starting at 11,100 EURO.

The leader in suspension manufacturing KW also supplies all variants of its range for the successor of the Type 42. The manufacturer offers in addition to adjustable lowering springs, a coilover suspension that can be adjusted in compression and rebound and a hydraulically adjustable high-end solution, which can be lifted-up at the front axle to ensure 100% suitability for everyday use despite lowering the chassis. The prices, plus assembly and wheel alignment, range between 924 – 7,562 EURO excluding VAT.

Mercedes AMG GT63 S AMG „Cummander“ by Wheelsandmore

With the use of the AMG 4.0 bi-turbo engine it is almost like in the 90s when the same actors in every second erotic film in other constellations excited the fans and friends. AMG also installs the versatile and proven M178 DE40 AL engine in the 4-door GT63 S Coupe and offers the sport-loving customer 2 performance variants with 585 and 639hp engine power. Well that´s not bad at all but people accustomed quickly with power and so this output is similar to some marriages, quite usual and unspectacular boring. There must be more inside…

Wheelsandmore brings fresh impetus to the relationship between man and machine and offers 3 different power levels up to 810hp, regardless of whether 585 or 639PS are available from factory. Stage 1:
The AMG tuner generates 700hp and 975nm of torque by means of software optimization or extremely easy to install plug-and-play tuning module Tec-Tronic.
The price for the upgrade is EUR 2,160 without taxes

Stage 2:
In addition to the ecu upgrade the manufacturer also installs downpipes with sports catalysts and a flap-controlled exhaust system from Capristo. This tuning upgrade results in a total of 750hp and a maximum of 1010nm torque.
Price for Stage 2 including assembly: 12,605 EURO

Stage 3:
Replacement of the turbocharger with a larger compressor unit and new bearings are added to the hardware components described above. After the conversion, the test bench measurement documents severely 810hp and 1030nm of torque
For this upgrade Wheelsandmore charges 19,244 EURO including assembly

Just like other manufacturers, Mercedes AMG wants to offer to their customers the maximum possible wheel-tire combination, what makes business not easier for tuners. Optionally, the GT63 AMG rolls out of the sales hall with 275/35/21 and 315/30/21 tires. So there´s not much space for TUV allowed improvement and so far no tuner from Europe has been able to present a suitable 22 inch retrofit for the model type X290. Wheelsandmore took care of the problem and developed appropriate rims for the matching Michelin tires. The tuning company from Germany equips the “Cummander” with black bi-color rims of the type ZV-1 sizing 10.5×22 offset 24 and 11.5×22 offset 22 with Michelin tires of sizes 285/30/22 and 335/25/22. The face of the rims has been cnc trimmed to the original look and sealed with a clear varnish.

Wheelsandmore offers the complete wheel set with customizable central locking nut and TPMS sensors from 5,882 EURO.

The tuning conversion is completed by a lowering module that can be controlled via smartphone app, which enables the customer to set the lowering of the air suspension freely via a Bluetooth connection.

The price for the lowering module with Android and iOS app is about 1,428 EURO
