Platinum Motorsport released shots of a Rolls Royce Ghost sitting on Agetro F100 Wheels. Check it out...

Sanctiond Automotive talks with Platinum Motorsports

(You know the Keshishyan Brothers have the best photos of themselves on their site)

LA Native and Photography great Estevan Oriol shot an incredible video about "the Neiman Marcus of Car Customization Shops", Platinum Motorsports. He shot the Keshishyan brothers (George and Jack) and discussed how they acquired the business from their father and turned it into a powerhouse, their work ethic, and the work that comes out of the shop. Either way, it was a great look, even better than whatever articles that's been printed out about them.

Check out the video and see for yourself.



Even though they had a leg up in the business (meaning: the business was given to them by their father), you have to admit, they did turn it into something far greater than what the business originally was. Anytime you can do that, you have to give them respect.

P.S. You know Estevan Oriol does great work. He reminds me of Hype Williams- meaning the video he produces will have that same uber high quality like his photography. With Hype, his movie Belly looks just like his music videos.

Platinum Motorsport shows off a Mercedes CL550

The guys at Platinum Motorsport released shots of a Mercedes Benz CL550 wearing Agetro f140 wheels. The Agetro brand isn't as common as Forgiato, Asanti, Lexani, etc, but they're specially made for exotic cars, which is why Platinum Motorsport loves them. Check this out...

You know I love the Mercedes Benz body style for CL/CLS. I'll use any excuse to show them off... even if I don't like the front end for the present edition.

Platinum Motorsport Shows off BMW650i wearing Agetro M700 wheels

The guys at Platinum Motorsport released some photos of a BMW 650i. The significance behind this is that the BMW is wearing the Agetro M700 wheels. This isn't the first time that the Keshishyan duo has used Agetro wheels. They've been commonly seen on a Ferrari 458 that they customized for their friend, Kim Kardashian. Check out the photos...

I don't know much about the Agetro brand, but I'm sure that it has be high end if Platinum Motorsport uses them. I really do love the last photo. I'm a sucker for photos that has a skyline in them.

Forgiato beat ADV.1 Wheels to the punch...

Awhile ago, ADV.1 Wheels posted on their site about how they were going to be the first one to offer aftermarket wheels for the Bugatti Veyron. Well, it looks like Forgiato Wheels beat them to the punch. At SEMA, Platinum Motorsports brought many, many cars. All of them were very impressive, but the one that stole the show was the white Bugatti Veyron... the one with the first set of aftermarket wheels.

According to Forgiato,

Forgiato brought you the first custom Lamborghini Reventon and now we have followed it up with the worlds first Bugatti with aftermarket wheels. Forgiato continues to push the envelope in the wheel industry. This special project would not have been possible without our collaboration with Luxury 4 Play, Exotics Boutique, and Platinum Motorsports. This Bugatti Veyron is painted matte white with 21″ and 22″ new Forgiato wheels from our 2.0 line that is not yet released.

I'm not an "exotic" type of girl, however, I do like this particular Bugatti. I honestly think Bugatti should take a page out of this book and offer the matte white, since in person, it looks so gorgeous. A lot better than that tired red shade.

Maybe next time, ADV.1 Wheels. Please believe me when I say that this car looks even better in person. I'm pretty sad because I would have loved to see, in person, what tricks Platinum Motorsport have up their sleeve for the LA Auto Show.

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: SEMA 2011 (Day 2)

Luckily SEMA's so large that you need more than a day to see everything, and sometimes with the time you alloted to see things, it's still not enough time. I continued my second day (SEMA's third) by doing what I do best-- take photos. Check out Bernie's SEMA Coverage...

(The cutest Scion xB ever... if you look closely, they crystalized certain parts of the car.)

(Like the tail light)

(Still love this magazine. Sometimes you get tired of the same automotive magazines that showcase mediocre photography. Just saying my own personal opinion...)

(Lowriders making an appearance. But there weren't as many as there were last year. Almost disappointing.)

(Fully customized Kicker-Sponsored car, complete with clear trunk door to showcase the mini-waterfall. It's not the first time I've seen a waterfall inside of a vehicle, but it's not common. Love the detail in the black paint.)

(YES!!! The car I've been waiting to talk about. The latest model Dodge Charger, painted matte black but with glossy black dual racing stripes. And did I mention that it was completely blacked out.)

(This particular Fiat was popular. The matte olive green forced people (including me) to stop in their tracks)

(Now this car was very popular. It had to be one of the most popular cars outside. I hated the cheap linoleum flooring that the car was parked on. Should have just left it parked on the concrete.)

(The owner of this Nissan is a Japanese guy, so don't let the crystals fool you. So cute...)

(And they weren't kidding. Don't believe me?)

(Chevy took a Z71, the one with the most horsepower, and used it as a canvas for a history lesson)

(And West Coast Customs bought my boyfriend- the Tron themed Audi R8. And he looks even better in person, I was willing to take this off of their hands. Note: My lover is that Ford Super Snake by Galpin Auto Sports)

(For about 5 minutes, I wanted her job.)

So, the customization shop with the most impact on the entire show, wasn't Platinum Motorsports or Galpin Auto Sports, but it was actually West Coast Customs. WCC took out an entire section of the South Hall and not only showed off their projects, but had a DJ playing more house music than what I cared to hear (note: not everyone from Long Island fist pumps. Don't let Jersey Shore fool you.) as well as WCC held classes.)

(They bought Will.I.Am's interesting car that I've talked about before)

(And they bought the customization car that's been in the news lately- Justin Bieber's Batmobile)

(WCC had four classes going on- Interior, Electronics, Wheels and Tires, and the safest class to take when you have nails: Wrapping a car using vinyl. Surprise, surprise, I was the only girl in the class. But above happens to be one of my instructors, who sadly had on a Boston Red Sox hat.)

(The guys jumped at their chance to wrap a vehicle the West Coast Customs way, but I had to get my hands on some vinyl, and I did. I actually wrapped the right side (aka the side that's closer to you guys) of the lower front hood. P.S. West Coast Customs was filming their show at SEMA, so don't be surprised if you see me)

(To continue with my point about models, I'm well aware that most people aren't like Status Wheels and don't have a budget to hire Playboy Playmates (like Miss February of 2009: Jessica Burciaga). Get your mind out of the gutter, I only knew who she was because she was on Girls Next Door)

(Mad Mike made my day. And he is just as charismatic in person as he is on TV)

(Chevy's Hot Wheel edition Camaros were very poopular. I love the paint job, hate the color...)

(Blink 182 has their own edition of a Honda Civic. A part of me thinks that groups/solo acts that have longevity should have their own special edition of a car.)

(Gorgeous... Burgundy Chromed Ford Mustang and it's not even the Super Snake.)

(The Bugatti Veyron brought to you by Platinum Motorsports. The black and white combo looks great, I'm not a big fan of the red.)

(This is the shopping cart I need when I go to Walmart, Target, Ikea, etc...)

To see the rest of the photos, check out Bernie's SEMA (Day 2) gallery at BeTrueATL.com And Vegas... See you next year!!!

P.S. And you know I had to get the video of Justin Bieber's car...


I blame a cross between bad nerves and having my hands full when recording the video. But who else has the video?

Platinum Motorsports Shows off Kim Kardashian's Ferrari.

Several weeks ago, I released a post about this, and now I had to bring it back once again. Kim Kardashian's car customizer, Platinum Motorsport, has released official (not paparazzi) shots of her Ferrari 458 that's been getting buzz all over the internet. According to PM, Here is a closer look at her New Ferrari 458 Italia wrapped with Agetro M140's on her feet 21" front wheel 22" rear wheel.

Check it out...

Every time she steps out of a car, it's just free advertisement for Platinum Motorsport. At the end of the day, you have to admit that Kim has a very impressive fleet of cars. Don't hate.

(Note: I like the Kardashian girls as much as everyone else does, but to me, red lipstick doesn't look good on them. Sorry, girl moment)
