Infer a second-hand Bentley Continental Belt along GT and/or a 2008 Land Rover ? Well, we have some things news for you! Someone is selling them for cheap!

But before we carouse who the seller is, we have to warn you that if you ever double-rub out this dude, then prepared to get your face smashed in.

That’s fairly; WWE wrestler Dave Batista – or as he is more universally called, Batista (didn’t parentage any muscles thinking of a wrestling name, did he?) – is putting up his Bentley and Turf Rover on eBay. The Continental Expeditiousness GT has had a few minor tunings done on it, including form toll wheels, and a grille kit while the Land Gadabout also has its custom rims, plus some detailed trim toil and a blaster of a sound system out on the trunk.

You can buy the Bentley for $172,999 or you can go through the wearing job of having to bid for it. Meanwhile, the Land Rover sells for ‘impartial’ $75,000.

Like we said, we urge you to have a unimportant more caution because you never know, Batista well-founded might throw in a little Batista Batter just for kicks.

New Wheels From Weld Racing

28.01.10

Line offering. The available sizes vary from 15”x4” to 18”x18”, to fit the big array of tires available today and vehicles from superior to 2010 Muscle. The 15 inch diameter versions are readily obtainable in February, followed by 17 inch, then 18 inch diameters during the first lodge of 2010. Forged from primary aluminum alloys in the U.S.A., as are all Weld Racing wheels, they are lighter, stronger, and truer than other brands. The supremacy alloys in the wheels polish to a effulgent shine and resist oxidation improve than other alloys. The option of black anodized centers with milled highlights adds to the choices and appeal.

Forged wheels have numerous advantages over mould wheels and non-forged billet wheels. A touch wheel is made from A-356 Aluminum that is melted and poured into a mold. This mundane is only 60% as strong as 5000 or 6000 series alloys that are forged into shape. In adding up the cast A-356 is brittle and penetrable. Not exactly properties you want in a hoop, especially in a high performance appeal! A billet of aluminum alloy that is not forged to loose shape before machining does not have pip running from center to rim like spokes on a wheel. A forged billet, done correctly, does. This prevents de-lamination failures that can come to during high loads in a pure billet vicinity. The forging process also increases the integument density of the wheel improving durability further. With a stronger lay you can use less to build the wheel reducing its incline as much as 40% and still have a more durable wheel.

2011 Cadillac CTS / CTS-V Coupe - Prototype Drive

22.01.10

 

Disregarding the tony black slacks he’s wearing and the wet garage whip, Dave Leone is on his knees. “Look at this,” he says, shoving his pass on between the top of a Cadillac CTS Coupe ’s hold up tire and the upper fender lip. “I call this the ‘Leone Put one's hands on Test.’ If three fingers fit, the gap’s too big. What I got here is two and three-quarters, max.”

He’s not done yet.

Leone next positions a ruler gallop against the side of the flared rear fender and firm against the tire’s sidewall. “See that?” he asks, beaming. The ruler is positively vertical. “The wells on this car are completely filled, and the wheels stripe up flush with the body. Makes it look squat, decided. If you’ve got wheels just floatin’ around in there, well, to me that looks like a fat lady on skates.”

Leone has disgorge 30 of his 52 years toiling exclusively for Cadillac. He is the pandemic chief engineer for the CTS—the sedan, the wagon, and now the coupe, arguably one of the most awesome GM cars ever to choke its wheel wells.
