SR Auto Group's Reventon on Autoblog
 
I thought it was neat seeing a local car club's car featured on Autoblog.

I believe this was the car that was blasted by almost everyone in the car show thread for having a "tuned by..." sticker?

you can hide many babies in the exterior of the car.

Wheels go great with the car IMO

ate.ge 04-14-2010 06:31 PM

Mr.Jay 04-14-2010 06:50 PM

i love how what everyone said in the thread about how all SR did was put their sticker on it and throw on rims and thats exactly what the article said


It was cool to see this on autoblog tho

Given it's a hypercar still within its short warranty period I don't think anyone is crazy enough to start ripping things out....

just playing the waiting for warranty to run out game, baller style.

Original wheels look way better. These look like they don't really belong on that car

The first thing they did was work with wheelmaker ADV.1 to develop the ADV05, a gunmetal five-spoker with a matte black lip
The wheel looks exactly like an Advan Model 5 (as stated in the comments) which makes this even more laughable. I don't overly like newer Lamborghini's and especially not the Reventon, but I feel bad for this one getting used for so much fail.

What's the difference between sitting around doing nothing just waiting for it to run out, and actually voiding it? They could have done SOMETHING besides put on some rims.

hyde's posts are more entertaining.

The pictures don't do any justice to that car.

And the editing...wow. Brutal. :cry:

true that all they did was throw on wheels and a sticker

but at the end of the day, if the reventon was yours, would you go and mod everything?
everything on this car is already pretty top notch, from the interior, exterior, looks, everything
doesn't make much sense to me to start ripping things out, regardless of the warranty

Exactly why it's stupid to change the wheels. It seems like they just wanted some reason to put a sticker on the car.

i think it would've been better to just slap the sticker onto the stock reventon. just to let people know it's theres, instead of swapping the only thing that sorta made sense and then slapping it on

with that being said, no denying that those wheels look good on the reventon though

The_AK 04-15-2010 10:29 AM

Wonder what they're going to do with the stock rims, if anything

It`s not even thiers. It`s a customer`s car.

lay it on the owner's living room floor to form a rectangle and lay a piece of glass over it. Voila, a very fucking baller coffee table. (add some phone books under the front wheels to balance the table, lol)

no matter, if i owned a shop and one of my customers had a reventon, i'd be itching to throw my sticker on it too

thinking of the reputation they've gained from just this car alone
from a business standpoint, very wise move

Boostaholic 04-15-2010 02:57 PM

Changing the wheels is a brilliant marketing move. look at all the attention they drawn themself.

"omg they changed a wheels! omg omg omgwtfbbq!"

If I was gonna do that I'd buy the brakes from Lambo... bolt the wheels to the brakes and then have a piece of metal that goes from the brakes to the floor. Just make the length different from front to the back to even it out.
Now that would be baller.

Qmx323 04-15-2010 04:03 PM

you know what? why don't u just use a lambo as your coffee table


PRETTY BALLER EH?

bigzz786786 04-15-2010 04:19 PM

its not sr's car, it actually belongs to somebody else and SR is featuring it
