About This Bentley Continental Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Green Bentley Continental sits on a set of 22-inch Vossen VFS-2 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Vossen 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 Green exterior with the Vossen VFS-2 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Vossen VFS-2 on the Bentley Continental
I stood next to this green beast last week and the stance blew me away. Running 22-inch Vossen VFS-2 wheels on a Continental is a bold move that actually works. We see a lot of these cars running too much wheel, but the VFS-2 geometry nails the proportions.
The flow forming process keeps these wheels light enough for a heavy cruiser. You need that reduction in unsprung weight when you push a Bentley hard into a corner. We measured the offset carefully to ensure the face doesn't poke past the fender line.
Caliper clearance is the biggest headache on these platforms. Bentley equips these cars with massive iron anchors, but the VFS-2 barrel design provides plenty of breathing room. You don't need thick spacers to clear the front hardware, which keeps the steering feedback sharp and accurate.
The hub bore sits perfectly flush on the Bentley spindles. We always recommend hub-centric rings if you go aftermarket, but these Vossen units fit the factory specs like a glove. It keeps the vibration out of the steering column at highway speeds.
The fender gap on this build is almost non-existent thanks to the lowered air suspension. We checked for rubbing during full lock turns and the clearance remains surprisingly tight. You have to watch the inner fender liner if you drop it into the lowest setting.
Those slender spokes reach all the way to the edge of the rim. This creates an optical illusion that makes the 22-inch wheel look even larger than it is. It fills the wheel arch perfectly without looking cartoonish.
The barrel lip depth adds a touch of aggression to an otherwise elegant chassis. It gives the Continental a muscular shoulder that the factory setup just lacks. It looks like a high-end luxury car that finally decided to hit the gym.
What We Recommend for Bentley Continental Owners
If you want this look, stick to the 22-inch diameter. Anything smaller looks lost in the giant arches, and anything larger ruins the ride quality. You bought a Bentley for the comfort, so don't throw it away with rubber-band tires.
We always suggest a staggered setup for these cars. Run a wider wheel in the rear to put the power down and keep the front turn-in crisp. A 10.5-inch rear width provides the perfect contact patch for the Continental's torque.
Watch your offsets like a hawk. If you push the offset too far out, you will chew up your rear fenders the moment you hit a bump. We prefer an offset that keeps the tire tucked just inside the arch for a clean, sophisticated look.
Avoid cheap spacers at all costs. If you need to dial in the fitment, buy high-quality, hub-centric pieces from a reputable brand. Cheap aluminum will vibrate and ruin your expensive wheel bearings in a few thousand miles.
Tire choice matters just as much as the wheel design. Do not stretch a narrow tire over a wide rim just to follow a trend. Use a high-performance summer tire that offers enough sidewall protection for those heavy rims.
Style and Build Analysis
The green paint on this car is deep, dark, and incredibly rich. When the sun hits the metallic flake, the VFS-2 wheels provide a clean, metallic contrast. It avoids the "try-hard" look of black wheels and leans into a refined, sporty aesthetic.
Vossen nailed the spoke design on these wheels. They are thin enough to show off the brakes but strong enough to carry the visual weight of a Bentley. It strikes a balance between race-inspired aggression and high-society luxury.
Proportions are everything when you modify a car of this size. The Continental is a heavy, grand tourer, and these wheels make it look athletic. It captures the essence of a gentleman's express that could easily lead a pack on the Autobahn.
We have seen hundreds of Bentleys, but this one sticks in my memory. Most owners go for chrome or flashy multi-piece wheels that clutter the design. This owner kept it simple and let the VFS-2 spokes do the talking.
The stance sits perfectly level on the lowered suspension. It doesn't look slammed or broken, just purposeful and ready for speed. It is the best balance of road presence we have seen on a Continental all year.
Why We Love This Build
I can’t stop looking at how the green paint dances in the light against the brushed finish of the Vossen wheels. It feels like a bespoke suit worn with high-performance sneakers. The car looks heavy, fast, and incredibly expensive all at the same time.
Seeing this Bentley parked at the meet made me realize that simple is always better. It doesn't need aggressive wings or gaudy body kits to dominate the space. It commands attention through its sheer presence and perfect wheel choice.
If you own a Continental, this is the gold standard for your next project. It proves that you can upgrade a luxury icon without losing its soul. You need to build your car exactly like this.

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-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-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
