BMW M Monday! Green and bronze. Does it get much better than this? This BMW G80 M3 looks incredible on Vossen Wheels Hybrid Forged HF-5 wheels.

The HF-5 features an aggressive split five-spoke design and Vossen’s Hybrid Forged construction, which uses flow-forming technology to improve strength while reducing weight. Paired with Michelin tires and contrasting red brake calipers, it’s a great match for the G80 M3.

Big brakes for this 2014 Audi Q5 TDI!

With over 152,000 miles on the odometer, this 3.0L turbo diesel Q5 came to Griffin Motorwerke for a comprehensive brake service. Up front, we installed new Brembo brake pads and massive 380mm rotors, which look great behind those BBS wheels! The rear received fresh brake pads and refinished black calipers, along with a complete brake fluid flush. A nice refresh for this well-traveled Audi, with plenty of stopping power to complement its torquey diesel V6.

Porsche just unveiled its Mission S concept today, and we have to say, this looks pretty good!

At a time when some manufacturers seem determined to outdo each other with increasingly controversial designs, Porsche has taken a refreshingly different approach. Inspired by the legendary 959, 917, and 911 GT1, the Mission S looks modern and aggressive without losing its Porsche identity.

A new mid-engine supercar positioned above the 911, with a driver-focused interior and the possibility of gasoline or hybrid power. We're liking this direction! What do you think?

A little old-school Porsche charm for Wheel Wednesday!

This 2000 Porsche Boxster S (986) is sporting a set of BBS Porsche SR wheels, measuring 18x8 up front and 18x10 in the rear. The classic BBS multi-spoke design complements the clean lines of the first-generation Boxster, giving this mid-engine roadster a timeless look that still holds up more than 25 years later.

BMW M Mondays. The BMW G99 M5 Touring looks absolutely stunning on P301 Full Disc wheels finished in Gloss White Gold.

The P301 introduces a new chapter in HRE's forged Monoblok lineup with an intricate five-spoke mesh design and an integrated structural disc. More than just a styling element, the disc serves as a structural backbone that increases wheel rigidity while adding depth and dimension to the design. The Gloss White Gold finish provides a striking contrast against the satin dark gray exterior of this M5 Touring.

Throwback Thursday. Who doesn't love a good Audi wagon? Especially one with a V8 under the hood.

This 2002 Audi S6 Avant represents an era when Audi combined understated styling, naturally aspirated V8 power, and quattro all-wheel drive into one seriously capable wagon. Now sporting NEUSPEED RSe06 wheels, this C5 S6 stopped by Griffin Motorwerke for a four-wheel alignment.

More than two decades later, these Avants still have plenty of appeal.

Wheel Wednesday. Porsche 992 Carrera on Vossen Wheels Hybrid Forged HFX-2 wheels.
Vossen’s Hybrid Forged construction combines a flow-formed barrel with a cast wheel design, reducing weight and increasing barrel strength while keeping the price more accessible than a fully forged wheel. The HFX-2’s split-spoke design and silver finish are a great match for this deep blue 992.

2026 BMW M3 Competition xDrive with its new cat back exhaust.
The Valvetronic system gives this S58 powered M3 control over the exhaust note while maintaining a clean appearance that fits naturally with the G80.
Next up, we’ll let you hear it.

2015 Porsche Boxster S in for maintenance and a few key updates.
