Something interesting and, by customer request, Vera in a machined face satin setup. Kind of an homage to BMW’s Bi-Color but a very different take. We did a pewter base color, machined face, and satin clear overall to give a two-tone dynamic that is subtle but distinctive. Can’t wait to see this one mounted!

Mixing it up and trying to get more of the colors that haven’t been shown in here. This is extra dark gunmetal gloss (and it is dark, note the outdoor pics). It’s a really nice rich gunmetal tone that has historically been relatively popular in other markets but this is the first BMW set I’ve made in the finish.

Hi John: Curious if Millie can be black with machined face...like bi-color factory wheels.

Sorry to have missed this. Running around a bit the past couple weeks. That can absolutely be done. I did that configuration for someone a while back and it came out really nicely IMHO.




This could be done in the classic black/machine face setup shown above or really any combination of colors (similar to the pewter / machined satin Vera setup above)

An absolute stunner today, IMHO. This design evolved from a few of the brushed-face, polished-window setups I’ve done — but instead of raw aluminum, this one’s finished in brushed and polished champagne. The bi-substrate effect gives it a really dynamic look, with the high-sheen polished satin windows perfectly complementing the brushed satin face.

Interestingly, I have a set of Anikas in this same finish combination that I’ll post later this week (still have a huge backlog of posts to make admittedly).

Fun one today…

A forum member reached out wanting to build his dream wheel setup. We went back and forth on the design for weeks — literally down to the millimeter of spacing between the twin spokes — to keep them perfectly parallel while still leaving enough room for easy cleaning.

I’ve been doing a lot of custom projects lately, and honestly, I love it. If you’ve got something specific in mind but don’t see it on my site, just reach out. Chances are we can make it happen.

Another fun little tidbit: if you do a fully custom design and I end up adding it to the site (I usually do, unless it’s too close to an existing one), you get to name it — as long as it fits the BSPK naming convention. This one’s called Ariana, named by the customer himself. Beautiful name for a beautiful set of wheels.

Lastly, a quick anecdote about the videos: I posted two this time because I wasn’t happy with the reflections in the first one. For clarity — what I share here are my marketing videos, not the inspection ones. Every set gets several detailed inspection videos before leaving the factory, panned slowly over each spoke and surface from multiple angles. While the factory performs its own QC, my standard goes beyond that. Their QC is to clear the wheels for me — mine is to clear them for you. I don’t ship anything until I’m personally convinced it meets the BSPK standard.

Without further ado...

Ariana | Gloss Black | 20x10, 20x10.5 | Flush Fitment | OEM Caps | BSPK Forged Text on Lip |

That’s the modeled weight so I would expect within a 10th or two of that up or down. Sometimes they come in lower (pretty frequently actually, I round up on the modeled weights). There’s machining tolerances and the weight of the finish is something you have to estimate. Brushed finishes are always going to be less than painted finishes because it’s just less material.

Since I teased it, I had to follow through — this one deserves its spotlight.
Introducing the bi-substrate Anika in champagne satin (brushed face / polished windows).

This set came out amazing IMHO — the contrast gives real depth to the face, with the high-sheen windows catching light from every angle. One I’m particularly excited to see mounted.

Hot damn! That is gorgeous. Are the polished windows satin coated after? The pockets actually look very much like the BMW frozen colors where there is metallic sheen underneath. How much extra charge is there to do this finish versus the standard finished included with the website price?

Can you share specs? Fitment is perfect imo.

Yes, the whole wheel is given a satin clear to achieve that high sheen you mentioned. To do the bi-substrate effect is the same as price as polished, so it would be $300.

Another fun cap today. This customer wanted Bowser center caps and why not? If there’s anything you want on the center cap, just ask. I am quite confident it can be accommodated.

Wanted to give a shoutout to John with his support and professionalism ... took the time to answer all my questions and put together a custom setup for my G80 M3 Xrive 2026 that will be going into production sometime this month. Can not wait to take delivery of my M and these set of wheels for 2026!! Will definitely be a great New Year for me in 2026

Let’s do a couple today because I’m so far behind over there. Yesterday’s post didn’t happen because my puppy decided to climb onto my desk and knock a full bottle of water onto my computer. Thankfully everything important was on the cloud and I grabbed a new machine today. Let’s all buy some wheels though — the dog is cute and she definitely didn’t mean it, LOL.

First up is a custom job for a customer’s TRX. This style was built specifically for him, and he’s a long-time repeat customer — I think we’re up to 7–8 sets of wheels and 3 sets of brakes together now. I’m basically his one-stop shop at this point, and I love that. I genuinely try to be the last wheel company people ever need. I treat every order with the same level of care, but I’ll admit I take extra pride in taking care of the guys who keep coming back. I think that’s true in any business.
