About This Bentley Continental Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Red Bentley Continental sits on a set of 22×10 and 22×11.5-inch Strasse SV1 Deep Concave FS wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Strasse for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Bentley Continental builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the Red exterior with the Strasse SV1 Deep Concave FS creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Strasse SV1 Deep Concave FS on the Bentley Continental
I walked around this Bentley for twenty minutes just to soak in the stance. We fitted these Strasse SV1 Deep Concave FS wheels at 22x10 in the front and a massive 22x11.5 in the rear. This setup pushes the limits of the Continental chassis perfectly.
The 22x10 front wheel sits flush against the fender edge. We calculated the offset to clear those giant factory iron rotors without needing any spacers. The hub bore matches perfectly so you get zero vibration at highway speeds.
That 22x11.5 rear setup is where the magic happens. We needed that extra width to get the deep concave profile that Strasse is famous for. It fills the rear wheel arch without sticking out past the body line.
I checked the clearance at the inner fender liner during the test drive. We have just enough room to tuck the tire under full compression. You won't hear any rubbing unless you hit a serious pothole at speed.
The spoke design pulls the eye straight to the center of the wheel. It creates a visual illusion that makes the car look even lower than it actually is. That depth is a huge upgrade over the flat-faced factory wheels.
We paid close attention to the barrel lip depth on the rear set. It adds a layer of aggression that the stock Continental desperately lacks. Every time the light hits those barrels, you see the craftsmanship behind the forging process.
The air suspension on this Bentley makes fitment a bit of a moving target. We set the ride height to our preferred level before locking in the final alignment specs. Dropping the car any lower might require a fender roll, but right now, it is spot on.
What We Recommend for Bentley Continental Owners
If you want to replicate this look, stick to the 22-inch diameter. Anything smaller gets swallowed up by the bulky bodywork of the Bentley. You need the mass of a 22 to balance the visual weight of the car.
We always suggest a staggered setup for these GT cars. Running a wider wheel in the back keeps the traction where you need it. It also gives the car that planted, rear-biased stance that looks so good parked.
Watch your offsets like a hawk. If you go too aggressive, you will chew up your tires on the rear quarter panels. We have tested dozens of configurations, and our specific offset range is the golden ticket for this platform.
Don't cheap out on your rubber, either. We spec high-end performance tires to handle the torque this W12 engine produces. A thin sidewall looks cool, but it offers zero protection against road hazards on a heavy car like this.
Avoid generic spacers if you can help it. They introduce unnecessary failure points and often lead to alignment headaches. Always buy a wheel that is built to the correct hub-centric specs for your specific Bentley year and model.
Most guys mess up by buying wheels that are too narrow. If you do not have the width, you cannot get that aggressive concave look. Commit to the wide barrels and get the stance you actually want.
Style and Build Analysis
The color combination here is bold, but it works perfectly. That Gloss Black finish provides a dark foundation for the wheel spokes. Then, the Gloss Red accents pop against the car’s factory paint job.
Matching the wheel accents to the car color is a risky move. Usually, it looks tacky, but here it adds a sense of cohesion. The red details on the wheels draw your eye down to the contact patch.
The Strasse SV1 design features clean lines that match the elegant body of the Continental. It manages to look both sporty and luxurious at the same time. It does not look like an aftermarket afterthought; it looks like a factory prototype.
This car has a presence that demands attention in any parking lot. The way the black spokes disappear into the shadows while the red highlights catch the sun is brilliant. It feels like a high-end fashion statement on wheels.
Compared to other builds we have featured, this one is much more refined. Some guys go for flashy chrome or wild designs that clash with the car. This build respects the Bentley DNA while turning the volume up to eleven.
Why We Love This Build
This Red Bentley looks like a predator sitting on the pavement. The Gloss Black and Red finish gives the car a sinister vibe that makes the stock model look boring. I love how the deep concave rear wheels tuck perfectly under those muscular fenders.
Every time the sun hits the red paint and those matching wheel accents, the whole car glows. It is a masterclass in how to modify a luxury cruiser without losing its soul. We see a lot of cars, but this one sticks in my mind.
You need to see this fitment in person to really appreciate the stance. It is functional, aggressive, and undeniably beautiful. Build your car like this, and you will never regret the choice. Do it right the first time.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Bentley Continental owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 22×10 and 22×11.5-inch wheels fit my Bentley Continental? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Bentley Continental owners run 22×10 and 22×11.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
