When I’m walking through an event, no matter which car they may be found on, I always catch myself deeply fixated on a very specific wheel. It speaks to me in a way no other wheel manages to do.

While lightweight, one-piece wheels have their dedicated space in my mind, the intricacies and possibilities of three-piece wheels speak to my soul. Damned is the mind that even gets started on deciding the fit and finish for their wheels. They can be widened, they can be stepped up to a larger diameter, and the options for colors… or lack of color in favor of a diamond cut face or polished lips... are endless.

Of all the wheels on the market and all of the new contenders showing up, my choice always came back to one design - the Weds Kranze LXZ. It all stemmed from constantly seeing them with aggressive, low offsets on widened cars. From drift cars to VIP styled sedans, they always seemed to have this aggressive “fuck you” look that I loved so much.

I feel as though with the recent announcement of the discontinuation of the LXZ and Bazreia… they will both have that much more attitude, that much more “damn” factor, that much more presence for as long as they’re around. They are now pieces of history, every single set, and I hope that you cherish yours and continue the legacy that was and will be.
