June 2010 MuscleCar Power Features 515 Charger with bonspeed Wheels

Steve Strope at Pure Vision really took his latest build to the limit. The 515 Charger is all muscle car, but it has the inspiration of a classic European. The car even has been converted to right-hand drive.

When Steve needed a set of wheels as special as the car he contacted bonspeed and we made him a one-off style to compliment this beauty. The wheels began as 7" thick discs of billet aluminum and they were machined to a special design that Steve and bonspeed owner, Brad Fanshaw created. Next a unique set of knock-off style caps were deigned and machined.

The budget was big, but the wheels had to fit the larger-than-life styling of this car!

bonspeed Look Back 1997! Bonneville Open House

This was the greatest open house and car show So. Cal may have ever seen and certainly the best we ever hosted! It was 1997 and bonspeed was still called Bonneville Sports (our original name- Where the name bon originated).

We invited everyone to come by for an open house, show and party at our design studios. Just a few of the names that were on hand Tony Nancy, Don Prudhomme, Jesse James, Lil John Buttera, Ron Capps, Harry Hibler and many others. We had the Mooneyes streamliner, a Tony Nancy vintage dragster, a half dozen choppers that Jesse hauled over from his shop and lots of other famous cars too.

Good Times...we need to have another soon!

Super Chevy Magazine Shootout- Features Hotchkis Wagon

Super Chevy Magazine invites the suspension gurus and chassis specialists out for a day of hard charging action. They call this the Super Chevy Shootout and manufacturers all bring out the best they have.

Now you would expect that these would be Camaros, Mustangs, Cudas and anything that comes to mind when we speak autocross, road courses and such.

This year Hotchkis suspension showed up with this rare 2-door Malibu wagon. While preparing the car they called Nitto for tires and bonspeed for the all important wheels.

With just a week to prepare our factory went into high gear and machined a set of pro-touring, road course worthy 18" Crokus style wheels with big back pads to clear the massive brakes.

The wagon did tremendously well, but you will need to catch a spring 2010 issue of Super Chevy magazine for the results and tech specs on the car.

If you want your Super Chevy to handle like a pro-touring champion you can always call bonspeed so we can build you a set of wheels!

bonspeed boys- Michael Anthony & Brad Fanshaw at Barrett-Jackson, Scottsdale 2010

Every year the bonspeed boys, Brad Fanshaw and Michael Anthony (owners of bonspeed) eagerly await the Scottsdale Barrett-Jackson auction. This year was no different except getting there was more difficult due to severe weather.

Michael was scheduled to fly in on Thursday, but was forced to drive when all flights were cancelled from Southern California. Brad and his friend Mark Cilani attended the anniversary party for Lear Jet on Thursday night and still had to drive over on Friday. The good news is they made it and missed the drama of the big storm on Thursday night in Scottsdale.

ABOVE PHOTO: Michael Anthony and Brad Fanshaw were both interviewed by Speed TV
for an upcoming 40th
Anniversary Barrett-Jackson
special.

The event in Scottsdale was a s exciting as ever and the boys saw many friends and plenty of great deals on cars. That's right great deals on cars at Barrett-Jackson and the boys kept their hands in pockets! Remember, Michael is building a new pro-touring Chevelle and Brad is getting ready to start on a 1969 Camaro. Our friend Bob Johnson did buy to the sum of thirteen cars?

LEFT PHOTO: Brad Fanshaw and our entire group had the best view in the house, thanks to our friends at Cox Communications who hosted us in their private skybox.



Along with their friends the bonspeed boys had a great time again this year. Thanks to our friends at Cox Communications who invited us all into their skybox. Being able to split the time between the reserved floor seats and the skybox is the way to go when you can swing it!

Remember Barrett-Jackson is part auction, part car show, part midway and part car enthusiast social event.
It is one of those events you must attend in your lifetime.

Along with all the great cars for sale there is always a tons of vendors. We saw our buddy Mike Stevesky and the guys from Mr. Norm's. They were showing among other things this Cuda that features bonspeed wheels made exclusively for Mr. Norm's cars!


So when you make it to Barrett-Jackson next year or the upcoming Orange County event, look for the bonspeed boys. They are there to have fun, meet people and talk cars and wheels!

bonspeed Intense Wheels on the Cover of Street Trucks


Pick up the February 2010 issue of Street Trucks to see Josh Wiley’s 2000 Chevy Silverado with bonspeed Intense wheels gracing the cover! Josh and Eric, of the Little Shop of Horrors, took the full-size Chevy from being in pieces on a garage floor to the jealousy-inducing driver she is today. With mods such as a stock bed raised in the center only, to the cherry red “wet” paint, and to the custom billet bonspeed wheels, this truck’s a beauty. One of Eric’s favorite things about her? Her bonspeed wheels are powder-coated clear, so that means no need for ever having to polish them!

Want more bonspeed??? Pick up the latest issue of Truckin’!

Congrats also to loyal bonspeed fan Tony Saenz from Andrews, TX on being picked as having one of Truckin’ magazine’s Top 10 Trucks of 2009 (the issue hit the newsstand Jan 2010)! His blue-flamed, gleaming green ’04 Dodge Ram sits on 22-inch bonspeed Tsunami’s and was featured in the magazine earlier in the year. It wowed editors and readers so much that it was an obvious choice for being included in the Top 10.



bonspeed's in Truckin' Magazine!



Flip a few pages past Tony’s truck and you’ll find Chassis by Aaron’s buildup, “The Show”, also featuring bonspeed Wheels! Last month, you read how the frame was designed and made. This month, check out the spindles, control arms, brakes, and bonspeed wheels being installed on the chassis. Aaron wanted the deepest lip in the rear wheels as possible, and man does it make this truck look slammin’! Aaron chose 22-inch bonspeed Quasar wheels to accentuate just how extreme this project is.

bonspeed Wheels has Teamed Up with Street Trucks Magazine for “Operation Muscle Truck”

For the past few issues, Street Trucks has been working on what they’ve dubbed “Operation Muscle Truck”. The guys at this leading truck mag are taking a popular pickup platform and turning it into a “performance-inspired, cornering and handling machine”. When it came to the wheels, of course they would turn to nobody else but bonspeed Wheels.

In the latest issue, the ’95 Chevy C-1500 Cheyenne pickup was equipped with massive 20-inch bonspeed S/S wheels. The forged billet wheels look aggressive on the truck, and the large window design reveals the Baer brakes, too. Finally, the editors and bonspeed added one of the exclusive Color Forged© finishes to the wheel center in cast gray. Make sure to follow the build-up on the truck in Street Trucks magazine for the next few issues as it receives more updates.

Every set of bonspeed Wheels is custom-built to your specifications, offering wheels from 17-inches all the way to 26-inches. bonspeed was the first to offer the Color Forged© program, ensuring that your wheels are as unique as your car.

Eddie Van Halen's- Van Hauler Original Photo!


I heard recently that the truck that Boyd Coddington and I designed and built for Eddie Van Halen was being resurrected. Duane Mayer at American Hot Rods called to ask if I knew anything about the truck that was built at Hot Rods by Boyd for Eddie? I replied that I did and where was it? He informed me that someone had called about restoring it and they were bringing it to his shop.

This was one bad ass sport truck with Corvette suspension, drive train and the full Boyd sport truck treatment. We even made one-off wheels that replicated Ed's stripe pattern. The side stripe not only had his stripes but, it ends with the shape of a guitar head. I do remember driving the truck through Los Angeles and many a Van Halen fan strained to see through the tinted windows. They knew what that stripe represented and they thought maybe the guitar god was behind the wheel.

Somewhere I have a photo of Eddie and I with the similar, but less modified giveaway truck in the Petersen Publishing photo studio. If I find it we will post that at a later date.

It is great to see the truck is being granted another life, but in my opinion a restoration instead of modification would have been better and more valuable!

PHOTO ABOVE: Brad Fanshaw, Eddie Van Halen and Boyd Coddington the day we delivered the truck at the 5150 studio.
