It’s been a very hectic time for our UK operation with the relocation of our create and design centre and after a few months of upheaval we are now getting back to normality. We have just launch the updates for our wide body aero Cayenne programme and the overhaul of every aspect of the car, starting with a complete interior retrim of front and rear seats, dash board and door cards all coming in for a little bit of VAD attention and is now a more inviting and comfortable place to sit.

VAD are to revive the old school 5 spoke DPE R05 & R16 forged 2 piece alloy wheel programme under the new VAD wheel programme that is being introduced for 2012. We have always looked at the wheel market as two separate markets and most forged wheels are out of a lot of people budgets, but as the industry changes and more and more companies seem to be opening up as forged wheel manufacturers and trends for cheaper products with lot of companies offering very cheap but in our opinion very inferior forged products, and yes there is a difference in forging from around the world but we won’t go into the debate of who is building what and where as that’s not what VAD is about, this blog is about what we do and want to offer as a company and that’s a very high quality forged wheel programme for all budgets.

New to hit the market in the way of Porsche part and available from VAD is the 997 GT3 RSR aero kit, this is an exact replica as the race version you can buy from Porsche, available in a mix of Kevlar and carbon fibre and the quality is amazing with Porsche like fit and finish and is the same to look at as the very car Porsche will take racing, and that kit is now available in road form, with the aero consisting of: Compete replacement front bumper, Compete wider front wings, Rear wider fender extensions with a complete replacement rear bumper, with engine hood and rear wing optional extras.

It’s not very often we come across a nice wide body conversion for the later generation Porsche 911 models namely the 996 and the 997, but there are a couple of conversions that have really caught our eye. The first The top secret G force 996 wide body has been shown over the last couple of years and for some reason we have always overlooked the conversion and it’s only just hit us why... the wheels, now dont get us wrong the Volk TE37 is a mighty looking wheel, but not for a Porsche and if you was going to fit this style of wheel then Black would be more fitting.

Vellano forged wheels will finally release a Monoblock 1 piece forged range of wheels to run alongside the current 3 piece forged range, and this is the first design of the production line and it’s an absolute beauty.

As per all of the Vellano forged wheels its normal service with the T6-6061 Heat treated forged aluminium, with back pad pocketing for the ultimate light weight forged wheel experience.

Two very special builds are happening at the Australian VAD branch and builds we are very excited about.

The first build is based on the Ferrari F430 and it’s a DPE first with the all new CS10 Concave with the new detailed engineering cut centres and brushed centre and outer lips with our second build based on the Mighty Lamborghini murcielago in the form of the LP640 and we are kitting the car out with Exhaust, Suspension, and ECU enhancement and of course the Wheels and tyres will also be on the list of things to change in the form of DPE SC5S Deep concave bowl 8.5x19 and 13x20 fitted with 235/35R19 and 345/25R20 front and rear.

The New Range Rover Evoque seems to be taking the world by storm; VAD is working on a new 22” light weight forged wheel for the new baby Range Rover but more on that at a later date.

 Now this little beauty is the work of Loder 1899, The German tuners are normally found fondling with the likes of Aston Martin and a few other well known Marques and now they have turned their attention to the Evoque and aren't we pleased they have.

VAD are proud to announce we have a new brand that we will be adding to our website over the next few days, the Vellano Forged Wheels.
