Dennis Rodman Cruising In His Custom Two-Tone Lambo

Retired Hall Of Fame NBA player, Dennis Rodman, was spotted taking his two-tone Metallic Gold and black Lamborghini Gallardo around the block. I have a feeling this whip will be covered in sponsor stickers for the Gumball 3000 this year in May. Other than the paint job, and some custom rims, nothing has really been done to it it. Looks almost like a toy car! He should jump the gun and have Underground racing put in twin turbo's, might make up for the paint job.

Dwyane Wade Recieves Brand New McLaren For His Birthday

Well, this is one way to receive a big birthday gift! Dwyane Wade, (who is an ambassador for a large luxurious car dealership in Miami) gifted him with a $230,000 2012 McLaren MP4-12C for his birthday. That alone, is a crazy gift! BUT, the dealership had to go all out presenting him the car as well. Get this, using a crane in the alleyway next to a hotel pool, this quarter-million dollar car was lifted over the hotel wall, onto a platform in the middle of the pool to be given to Dwyane Wade! I would personally like to see this topped!

Blake Griffin – 2011 SEMA Show – 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid

The 2011 SEMA Show featured this Kia Optima Hybrid that was inspired by Blake Griffin whatever that means. The car features his name on the hood and a basketball hoop in the trunk. The build was completed by West Coast Customs in Los Angeles, California. The sensible hybrid was placed in the official Kia Motors booth with this basketball style wrap. This whole build was probably a nice thank you present to Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers after he did this with a Kia Optima at the 2011 NBA All-Star Dunk contest. In case you missed the video, watch it below:

Ron Artest’s Los Angeles Lakers Themed Hyundai Genisis

George Lopez recently dropped off a stock 2011 Hyundai Genesis at Platinum Motorsports for a L.A. Lakers makeover. He made this for Ron Artest as a gift. It has been fully decked out in a custom matte pearl white paint job, with yellow flakes in it. The seats were fully customized with a Veyron style stitched black/purple/yellow leather. Custom purple paint was added to the forged modular Agetro F100 rims, 20 inches! The list doesn't stop from there too! George Lopez sure went over the top on this car. Aside from the glitz and glamor of this Genisis, it sports a 3.8L V6 motor, pushing 290 horse power. The Genisis gets 18 mpg in the city, and 27 mpg on the highway. Let's just say it stays true to its colors.
