It’s official; wheels make our world go round! They’re the holy grail of the modified world, they possess the power to make or break a project, they will give you fame and take your fortune. We love them and that’s why we have dedicated this whole issue to the circular wonders!
All seven feature cars are rocking some seriously cool hoops, from Patrick Lindgren’s amazing Volvo 242 wearing iconic BBS RS splits, to Carden Mizzi’s Corsa sitting perfectly on Rota BM8s, not to mention the Audi A7 boasting perhaps the wildest wheels in the world, Messer Turbo-Fans!
We also have a Lord Of The Rims quiz that will test the intelligence of the world’s most prolific wheel snob, and then there’s our DIY guide that’ll help you to make your own socket valve caps, bullet bolt covers and beer can centre caps!
Plus all the usual shenanigans from our show reports, product pages and projects section.
Fast Car is available on Newsstand for iPad, iPod and iPhone, and FC is also on some Android devices on Google Play and of course in print at your local newsagent (in the UK).
Until next month,
Team FC

Rota's are "cool hoops" now?
Spaghetti I guess so. Sad isn't it? and the BM8s are just a copy of Hayashi Racing. Rota are the next Seibon.
AmirIzham Spaghetti ...and Hayashi Streets rims are just a copy of Campagnolo 40802 wheels. Is that sad too?
@octopus I was going to say the same. And did you know everyone that has bolt-on arches copied RWB? There's was no way what so ever that has ever been done before in the history of all things car like.
I do love all the 'they copied such a company/person' when that company/person did the same.
AmirIzham Spaghetti Maybe everyone should get Hayashi Racing wheels instead, as there are so many of those available...
The world is full of copies, so what. Get over it. ROTAs are pretty well proven. I have them on my battered drift S15 and they have survived more knocks than JDM yo! wheels that cost four times the price.
Highly misleading magazine name
Dave GTR And did you know that RWB copied the design of the 993 GT2 yet somehow gets credit for the whole riveted fender fad?
@octopus AmirIzham Spaghetti
I was going to say, it's a copy of a copy... pretty awful when a company with resources decides to take the easy route and copy someone else's work exactly.
4 wheels, except for the original gold finish on the Campys, all look shamelessly identical, at least they are copying in good taste i guess:
