About This Bentley Continental Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Black Bentley Continental sits on a set of 22×9.5 and 22×11-inch Vossen S17-04 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 Black exterior with the Vossen S17-04 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Vossen S17-04 on the Bentley Continental
I walked around this Bentley for twenty minutes at the show, just staring at the Vossen S17-04 setup. We went with a 22x9.5 front and a massive 22x11 rear to really anchor the car. The stance is aggressive without looking like a cartoon.
We specifically chose these offsets to push the wheels flush with the fenders. On the Bentley platform, you have to be careful with the inner clearance. We cleared the massive OEM calipers by a hair, which is exactly how you want it.
The hub bore sits perfectly on the Bentley hub, so we didn't need any sketchy hub rings. The Vossen engineering team nailed the bolt pattern precision. You can feel the quality when you look at the mounting surface.
Those lowering links changed the whole game for this fitment. By dropping the ride height, we tucked the tire right into that sweet spot in the wheel well. It eliminates that awkward factory gap that plagues these luxury land yachts.
The barrel lip depth on the 22x11 rear is pure eye candy. It gives the car that wide, planted look that screams power. We spent a lot of time measuring to make sure the face profile matched the rear concave perfectly.
Watch out for the front inner liners if you go any lower than this. We have about five millimeters of clearance at full lock. Don’t get greedy with the lowering links, or you will be chewing up your liners on every sharp turn.
The S17-04 spoke design directs the eye toward the center of the wheel. It creates a sense of motion even when the car sits dead still. This is exactly what a Bentley needs to look modern and mean.
What We Recommend for Bentley Continental Owners
If you want to replicate this, do not cheap out on the tire choice. We went with 265/30/22 front and 335/25/22 rear rubber. That 335 width is non-negotiable if you want that fat, aggressive rear end.
Stop hunting for square setups on these cars. The Bentley chassis craves a staggered look to handle the power delivery. A square setup just ruins the proportions and makes the car look unbalanced.
Always prioritize the correct offset over just slapping on spacers. Spacers can ruin your steering feedback and introduce vibration at highway speeds. Do it right the first time with a custom forged wheel build.
Don't be afraid to use lowering links, but get a professional alignment immediately. If your camber is off, you will burn through those expensive rear tires in a few thousand miles. Trust me, I have seen it happen to guys who try to wing it.
The biggest mistake I see is guys running too much tire stretch. Keep the sidewall looking beefy so you don't crack your rims on a pothole. You drive a Bentley, not a drift car, so keep some protection on those lips.
Style and Build Analysis
The Gloss Black finish on a black Bentley is the definition of stealth. It is not just black; it is a deep, liquid reflection that hides the wheel details until you get close. It looks like a shadow rolling down the street.
The Vossen S17-04 design is sharp and geometric. It cuts through the rounded body lines of the Continental perfectly. We like how the spokes contrast with the soft curves of the factory sheet metal.
This car has serious road presence compared to the stock builds we see at the dealership. It looks like it belongs on a private jet tarmac. The monochromatic theme makes the car look lower, longer, and much more expensive.
Many builds fail because they try to add too much flash with chrome or wild colors. By keeping it all black, we let the aggressive wheel design do all the talking. It is refined but clearly modified by someone who knows cars.
We see a lot of Bentleys, but this one stands out in a crowded lot. Most owners go for standard polished wheels that look dated. This setup proves that a modern, dark aesthetic is the only way to go.
Why We Love This Build
I cannot stop looking at the way the light dances off the black paint and the glossy Vossen barrels. It has a menacing, heavy-metal energy that makes every other car look like a toy. When the sun hits the concave spokes, the whole profile of the Bentley shifts into something truly lethal.
We built this to be a driver, not a garage queen, and it shows in every mile. The way the wheels fill the arches gives the car a grounded, predatory posture that commands respect. It is the perfect balance of luxury comfort and pure street aggression.
This build represents everything we love about the scene. It is a masterclass in clean, aggressive styling that improves on perfection. Go build your own, because this look is timeless.

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 22×9.5 and 22×11-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 22×9.5 and 22×11-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
