Latest Project: The Drop off. Kansei X Wheelprice

Once again, Its time to get the team together for another Kansei Wheels project.

For the last 2 years we’ve helped our good friends over at Kansei with producing content for their social channels and various platforms. This time around we were trusted with helping launch a brand new wheel size and bolt pattern.

When Sempek reached to us, he was looking for a street-styled EG or EF civic to use as the main car for the project. After thinking for a second, It was a no-brainer; Kirk from Wheelprice! The guys over at Wheelprice have been good friends here in Charlotte for a good while now and this would be a great opportunity to make an introduction.

Once I made the call and gave them the run down, they were more than down and we got to the drawing board. When it comes to a team, it’s always fun to work with your friends so as always I went to my go-to, Scott aka Funkymac. We’d been shooting together long before we both moved to Charlotte. To help assist us, we got Dylon who’s usually the subject matter when it comes to a Kansei Project 

From time to time, we are faced with interesting challenges when shooting and this was one of them. Why? One might ask. It’s due to the fact that it’s a white car with black wheels and on sunny days it can be difficult to highlight the wheel and the car. Our only hope was to pray to the weather gods for an overcast day. It looked like our prayers were answered because on shoot day it was perfect! 

Special thanks to Chris Sempek for relying on us time and time again and being a platform for ideas to come to life. Also thank you to the Crew, Scott, Dylon & Kirk for always being down and killing these projects. Lastly, the homies at Wheelprice. Kyle, Kirk, and Wally! 

For those wondering what Wheelprice is. It’s a mobile app marketplace for car enthusiasts to buy, sell, and trade wheels. Be sure to follow them across all social platforms @wheelprice
