If you remember we featured KJ’s (@kdot_vossen) RS-R Lexus RC F in June but with two major additions it was time to feature his beautifully aggressive RC F again. First up, the beautiful Apexi N1-X exhaust (resonated version). Hand built in Japan, with polished barrels and heated tips, this exhaust looks like a work of art. The powerful 467hp V-8 engine already sounded good stock but now sounds utterly amazing with the Apexi exhaust. We also have had the time to hang out with the team at Apexi and they are just an amazing team of car enthusiasts and their passion shows in the product!

Next up on this UltraSonic Blue RC F, our Vossen Forged VPS-308 wheels. Proudly Made in Miami in our TUV verified facility(#madeinmiami), KJ chose this beautiful eight spoke design that gives his RC F a more aggressive stance wrapped in Pirelli tires. As for the color of the wheels, its called sonic gold and with the big custom red painted Brakes, this RC F have a true tuner look. Like Apexi, our Vossen Forged Wheels also look like a work of art especially with the hand brushed barrels and faces of the VPS-308 wheel.

You can always catch this stunning RC F repping the @Lexusboys at a local meet or car show in the Miami area and if you are interested in your own set of Vossen Wheels, you can contact KJ who is part of our sales team!

The days of plastidip being reserved for matte black color-changes are long gone, and that is largely a result of Fonzie and his company, DipYourCar.com. Fonzie has revolutionized the automotive industry by producing countless videos that teach enthusiasts how to use his dipping products and perfect their technique when changing the color of the car and wheels.

Fonzie recently visited our TUV Verified Vossen Forged Wheel Factory here in Miami, Florida, to show his subscribers everything that goes into the manufacturing of our forged wheels. In the Part 1 of DYC’s How It’s Made series, Fonzie learned about the manufacturing and what differentiates our forged wheels from their cast counterparts. In Part 2 of the DYC’s How It’s Made series, Fonzie brought his freshly dipped 458 to our factory to learn, step-by-step, how his Vossen Forged: VPS-308 wheels are made.

We teamed up with Fonzie to produce the third video in his How It’s Made series, showcasing the VPS-308 wheels and the process of dipping them in DYC’s Burnt Copper Pearl. In the video above, you’ll see the process that Fonzie goes through to apply a pearl finish to his VPs-308 wheels, as well as the final product—an entirely unique Ferrari 458 on Vossen Forged wheels.

Our Porsche 911 Cabriolet on Vossen Forged VPS-308 is one of my favorite cars in the Vossen family. While most opt for the Rosso Fuoco Opaco Ferrari 458, the flagship of the Vossen fleet, there’s something special about the new 991 body of the Porsche—especially as a cabriolet.

Revered as a landmark in Porsche’s design history, the 991 generation of the 911 is a mildly-but-diligently revised successor to the 997 body, boasting a wider track and longer wheel base, though even the most-trained eyes may not even notice.

Outfitted with 21×9 and 21×11 Precision Series wheels, front and rear, the Porsche’s wheels are just an inch larger in diameter than what’s offered from the German factory, but mated with KW Variant 3 coilovers fit just right, keeping a respectful proportion inside the wheel arch.

Outward aesthetics aside, this Porsche 911’s real beauty is hidden away on the inside, in the tone of Porsche’s Yachting Blue Leather. Nearly ever panel inside the 991’s face-lifted interior is trimmed in this timeless shade of leather, and carbon fiber accents break up the blue in all of the right spots, with satin black and brushed aluminum supporting the accents.

To tie it all together, the Vossen Forged: Precision Series VPS-308 wheels have been powder coated by our in-house facilities to match the color of the Porsche’s seat backs—a clever and easily overlooked pairing.

As with any Precision Series wheel, the VPS-308s were developed, engineered, and produced right here in Miami, in our TUV-Verified factory. From measurements specific to the new 991 body and its clearances, the wheels were engineered to outperform their German counterparts that were originally fitted to the Stuttgart-born car, and will stand the test of time and hold true (overall runout on our forged wheels is less than 3 human hairs thick).

If you’re interested in purchasing this Porsche 911 Cabriolet with Yachting Blue Leather interior, please contact sales@vossenwheels.com.
