About This Bentley Continental Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Black Bentley Continental sits on a set of 22×10 and 22×11.5-inch Brixton Forged R11-R Duo wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Brixton Forged 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 Black exterior with the Brixton Forged R11-R Duo creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Brixton Forged R11-R Duo on the Bentley Continental
I walked around this Bentley Continental for ten minutes before I even opened the door. The Brixton Forged R11-R Duo wheels in 22x10 up front and 22x11.5 in the rear transform this heavy cruiser into a predator. These dimensions push the boundaries of the stock arches without requiring a sledgehammer to the metal.
We specifically engineered these offsets to tuck right against the inner fender liner. The front 22x10 setup clears those massive Bentley calipers by a hair. It is a precise fit that leaves no room for error during installation.
The 22x11.5 rear wheel provides a deep, aggressive barrel depth that defines the R11-R architecture. We wanted that concave profile to scream performance from fifty feet away. The hub bore matches the Bentley factory spec perfectly for a vibration-free ride at triple-digit speeds.
You have to respect the geometry of the Continental platform when you move to a 22-inch diameter. We kept the overall rolling diameter nearly identical to the factory wheels to avoid confusing the traction control sensors. This ensures the ABS and stability systems remain perfectly calibrated.
The multi-piece construction allows us to manipulate the outer lip depth while maintaining structural integrity. These wheels feel substantial yet look light enough to handle the abuse of daily driving. The weight savings over the factory boat-anchor wheels are immediately noticeable in the steering feel.
Watch out for the front inner liner on full steering lock if you decide to drop the car lower. We saw a tiny bit of rub on this specific build during a tight U-turn in the parking lot. A slight adjustment to the ride height solved it instantly.
The spoke design pulls the eye toward the center cap while showcasing the hardware. It is a complex look that works because the spokes do not clutter the visual space. Everything here serves a purpose, from the offset choice to the bolt pattern precision.
What We Recommend for Bentley Continental Owners
If you own a Continental, do not settle for generic off-the-shelf fitments. You need a custom offset that accounts for your specific suspension setup and tire choice. We always recommend measuring your current fender-to-wheel clearance before you pull the trigger on a deposit.
For the best balance, stick to a staggered 22-inch setup like this one. A 10-inch front and 11.5-inch rear width provides the perfect footprint for a car with this much torque. Do not try to run a square setup unless you enjoy understeer and awkward aesthetics.
Avoid excessive tire stretch if you value your rims on city streets. We suggest a tire profile that offers a bit of sidewall protection against potholes. A high-quality rubber compound is non-negotiable when you are putting this much power to the pavement.
Think twice before adding spacers to an already custom-built forged wheel. If your offset is correct from the factory, spacers only introduce potential for imbalance and unnecessary stress on the wheel studs. Get the offset right the first time so you never have to worry about it.
Most owners make the mistake of buying wheels that are too narrow for the car. A Continental needs a wide stance to look planted and aggressive. Spend the extra money to get the wheels flush with the outer fender line, and you will never regret it.
Style and Build Analysis
The Firecracker Black finish on these R11-R Duos is absolute perfection. It is not quite a matte finish and not quite a gloss, which lets the details pop under direct sunlight. When the sun hits the satin surface, you can see the intricate machined details of the spoke design.
Matching these wheels to a black car is a bold move that can easily look like a mess. We love how the satin texture creates a subtle contrast against the deep, mirror-like paint of the Bentley bodywork. It creates a monochromatic look that feels cohesive rather than forced.
The R11-R design is pure performance art. The way the spokes extend to the edge of the rim makes the wheels look even larger than 22 inches. It gives the Continental a long, lean look that hides its actual weight.
This build feels intentional in a way that most aftermarket setups do not. Many owners throw on wheels that distract from the car's natural lines. These Brixton wheels actually accentuate the muscular shoulders and aggressive hips of the Continental chassis.
We have featured plenty of Bentleys, but this one sits in a different league. It is clean, understated, and menacing all at the same time. You can drive this to a track day or a black-tie event and fit in perfectly at both.
Why We Love This Build
When this Bentley rolls up, it demands your full attention. The Firecracker Black finish drinks the light, making the car look like a shadow moving down the asphalt. Those 22-inch Brixton wheels fill the arches with mechanical precision that makes the factory setup look like an afterthought.
I love how the wheels provide a tactical, industrial edge to such a refined luxury cruiser. It bridges the gap between high-end elegance and raw, street-bred performance. Seeing this beast in person, you realize that the right set of wheels does not just change a car; it defines it.
This is the kind of build that makes us want to go out and buy a Continental just to replicate it. It is bold, it is calculated, and it is absolutely flawless. This is how you modify a modern icon.

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.
