About This Bentley Continental Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Red Bentley Continental sits on a set of 22-inch BC Forged RS40 wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose BC 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 Red exterior with the BC Forged RS40 creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: BC Forged RS40 on the Bentley Continental
I stood right next to this Bentley when it rolled into the lot, and the stance is absolute perfection. We see a lot of Continentals, but running a 22-inch BC Forged RS40 setup changes the entire personality of the car. The wheels fill those massive arches without looking cartoonish.
The 22-inch diameter matches the heavy chassis proportions perfectly. We chose a width that pushes the wheels flush with the fenders for that aggressive, planted look. You get zero poke, just a straight line from the fender to the tire sidewall.
BC Forged nailed the offset on these RS40s. We needed enough clearance for those dinner-plate-sized Bentley calipers, and these barrels offer exactly that. The spoke design arcs away from the hub just enough to keep the iron brakes cool and visible.
The hub bore fits the Bentley factory specs perfectly, so we didn't need any messy hub rings. A direct fitment keeps the ride smooth at high speeds. I hate vibration, and this setup tracks straight as an arrow.
The barrel lip depth on the RS40 gives the car a deep, layered look. It adds a bit of mechanical weight to the visual profile of the car. These wheels don't just sit flat; they command attention from every angle.
We dialed in the suspension to close that factory gap, which makes the fitment look even tighter. You have to be careful with the inner liner if you go too low, though. We kept the ride height sensible to avoid any nasty rubbing on full-lock turns.
Running a 22-inch wheel on a Continental requires the right tire choice to protect the rim. We went with a slightly lower profile to keep the rolling diameter accurate. Everything clears the fender liners, even under heavy cornering loads.
What We Recommend for Bentley Continental Owners
If you own a Continental, don't waste your time with cast wheels. You need a forged setup like the BC Forged line to handle the sheer weight of this heavy grand tourer. These cars break cheap wheels for breakfast.
Stick to a 22-inch setup if you want that modern, elite look. Going up to 24 inches usually ruins the ride quality and makes the car look gaudy. Keep it classy with the 22s and you get the best balance of looks and comfort.
We always suggest a staggered setup for these big coupes. Put a wider wheel in the back to help put the power down and beef up the rear profile. It balances the visual weight of the car significantly.
Watch your offsets carefully, because the front fenders have limited room for error. We recommend a high-positive offset to keep the scrub radius close to factory specs. If you mess this up, your steering feel will turn into a nightmare.
Don't fall for the trap of massive tire stretch. You drive a Bentley, not a drift car, so run a tire that actually protects the rim edge. We prefer a square shoulder profile for that meaty, purposeful aesthetic.
Style and Build Analysis
The red paint on this Bentley is deep, liquid, and incredibly aggressive. Putting the RS40s in a brushed or dark metallic finish creates a high-contrast look that pops. It transforms the car from a luxury cruiser into a serious street machine.
The RS40 spoke pattern is clean and symmetrical. It mimics the luxury lines of the Bentley bodywork without overdoing it. We love how the spokes extend all the way to the outer edge of the lip.
Proportions are everything on a car this big. Without the right wheels, a Continental can look like a bloated whale in a parking lot. This build uses the wheels to sharpen the car’s edges and define its silhouette.
I have seen hundreds of wheel setups, but this one feels cohesive. Many owners go for chrome or loud colors, but this understated approach works better. It lets the body color do the heavy lifting while the wheels provide the support.
The stance sits low enough to be menacing but high enough to be functional. You can actually drive this car on real roads without scraping the front lip on every speed bump. It captures the essence of a custom build that still feels like a factory prototype.
Why We Love This Build
This car is a total showstopper because it respects the heritage of the Bentley while adding a modern edge. The red paint catches the sun, and the RS40s shine back with a sharp, industrial brilliance that pulls your eyes straight to the wheel wells. It is the perfect marriage of English luxury and forged performance.
Seeing this car cruise down the strip reminded me why we do this. It isn't just about the parts; it is about how they make the driver feel behind the wheel. The fitment is so flush it looks like it rolled right off the assembly line in Crewe.
You need to see this build in the metal to truly appreciate the craftsmanship involved. It motivates me to get back into the garage and refine my own project. Go find a set of these wheels, get your offsets right, and make your Bentley look this good.

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.
