EXCLUSIVE Sneak Peek

JT Wallace - Thursday, January 21, 2010
Here is an exclusive sneak peek of a brand spanking new style that will hit the streets soon.  Shown below in both a one piece and three piece set up. 

We've designed these wheels specifically for a wide array of luxury performance vehicles. 

The one piece forged wheel is finished in black with a diamond cut face. The three piece (on the right) is also finished in black with a diamond cut face and chrome lip.

Rolls Royce Solution

JT Wallace - Wednesday, January 20, 2010
How can you put a set of custom wheels on a Rolls Royce without the factory floating center piece!!!

Here at MINT we were fascinated with the way Rolls Royce engineered a floating center cap.  It seems we are the only ones that found a proper solution which integrated the factory cap into custom wheels.

Above you can see that we matched the MINT billet cap to the factory Black Kirsch paint.

Voila!  MINT caps ready to be put together after painted.  Caps ready to be finished to the customers likening. 
Keep checking back we will be posting a video of the car after the wheels are installed.

SAOSIN meets MINT

Beau Burchell...Lead guitarist for SAOSIN...

As an old childhood friend of AP's, Beau knows where to go to get what he wants.
"Ever since high school, I knew Beau was going to make waves in the music world. We used to jam after school and he would amaze us with his talent that surpassed anyone we ever encountered in our age group." 
Beau is currently touring in Japan with his band, spreading his gift of sound...Thanks bro.
Beau's BMW 5 series fitted with 20" MINT M100's in semi-gloss black.

Yard House...TAKE II

JT Wallace - Wednesday, January 13, 2010
The founder of the popular restaurant, The Yard House, chooses MINT on all of his sleds.  Mr. Platt is a man of vision, as he created one of the world's most unique concepts in dining.  His restaurants boast a selection of over 250 drafts of beer, which can be served in the famous yard glass.  The yard glass stands 3 ft tall, hence its name and is sure to get the job done.  In his garage, we mounted his first set of wheels off his Mercedes S 550, a set of wheels influenced by the yard glass.  Each spoke is an exact replica of the yard glass with his company logo engraved at the end of each spoke.  When it came time for a new ride, he still had to keep 'em insight.
His new S class rides on 22" MINT X's with black chrome centers and chrome lips.

The center caps were engraved with his Yard House logo.
 

The founder of Mossimo clothing loves his MINTs.

JT Wallace - Tuesday, January 12, 2010
When fashion mogul, Mossimo, was searching for the look he wanted, he turned to MINT to create his vision.  He started off by showing us some pictures of archaic military vehicles which rode on plain steel wheels.  We laughed and debated back and forth for roughly two weeks until he decided on what you see now.  If MINT can make one of the world's best clothing designers content, hopefully we can accommodate just about anyone.  Thanks Mossimo.

Mossimo's G Wagon fitted with 24" custom MINT Wheels with gloss black centers and matching lips.

Some specialty caps to put the icing on the cake...

More than meets the eye. As you can see, we wanted to run with simple styling, yet we were not happy with the weight.  So, we removed the dead weight from the backside of the center, and pocketed out as much excess material which could be safely removed to lighten these babies up!

The King of Speed chooses MINT for his off track adventures

A Mustang lover and his set MINT VI's

JT Wallace - Sunday, January 10, 2010
Mike truly is one of the smoothest dudes on the planet.  Charismatic, charming and caring are just a few characteristics which Mike keeps laying on us here at MINT.  In the entertainment world, Mike manages an elite list of stars including Lionel Richie, Puff Daddy, and Lenny Kravitz...  He keeps a very low profile, but every once in while he lets it all out on one of his new rides.

Mustangs, he loves "em".  Although he may have a few pricier vehicles in his garage, he holds a special place in his heart for his first love.

Mike's 2010 Mustang GT is rolling on 22" MINT VI's with polished and brushed centers and chrome lips.  That's correct Mike!

 

Guess who these are for???
