About This Bentley Continental Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This White Bentley Continental sits on a set of 24×9.5 and 24×11.5-inch Brixton Forged M51 Targa 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 White exterior with the Brixton Forged M51 Targa creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Brixton Forged M51 Targa on the Bentley Continental
I walked around this Bentley for twenty minutes at the last show. Seeing a 24-inch setup on a Continental is a bold move, but the Brixton Forged M51 Targa pulls it off perfectly. These wheels measure 24x9.5 in the front and a massive 24x11.5 in the rear. It fills those heavy wheel arches without looking like a cartoon.
The offsets here are custom-tailored to push the wheels right to the edge of the fenders. We always look for that perfect flush look, and Brixton nailed the math on this one. The car sits wide and aggressive, making the factory wheels look like spare tires.
Caliper clearance is always the biggest headache with these massive Bentley brakes. These M51s provide plenty of room for those huge front rotors. I checked the barrel clearance, and there is zero danger of the spokes kissing the calipers under hard braking.
The hub bore is machined specifically for the Bentley platform, so we avoid any sketchy adapter rings. Everything bolts up tight and feels solid. This setup keeps the vibration low even when you are cruising at triple-digit speeds.
The barrel lip depth on the rear 11.5-inch wheels is something to behold. It adds a layer of depth that standard wheels just cannot replicate. The spoke design carries the weight of the car visually while still looking light and intricate.
If you plan to run a 24-inch setup like this, watch your suspension settings. The owner dropped this Bentley on lowering links to close the fender gap. We checked for rubbing, and it clears the liners perfectly at a moderate ride height.
Just remember that you have very little sidewall left with a 24-inch wheel. Watch out for those nasty potholes on the highway. One wrong hit will bend a lip, so keep your eyes on the road.
What We Recommend for Bentley Continental Owners
If you want to upgrade your Continental, keep your total wheel diameter reasonable. While 24s look like a million bucks, 22s are much better for daily driving comfort. Stick to a staggered setup if you want that true performance look.
We always suggest working with a shop that understands Bentley offsets. If you go too aggressive, you will chew up your tires against the fender liner. Aim for a setup that keeps the tire face flush with the outer edge of the wheel well.
Don't try to save cash on cheap spacers. If you need to push the wheel out, buy high-quality hub-centric spacers or just order the correct offset from the start. Cheap spacers lead to steering wheel wobble and broken lug studs.
Tire choice matters more than you think. You need a tire with a decent rim protector bead to save the finish. We prefer premium performance tires that can handle the weight and torque of a heavy Bentley.
Avoid square setups unless you are tracking the car. The Bentley chassis needs that wider rear track to put the power down cleanly. A staggered setup keeps the handling predictable and the aesthetic balanced.
Style and Build Analysis
The Brushed Olympic Bronze finish in Satin Clear is a stroke of genius against the white paint. Most guys go for silver or black, but the bronze adds a level of warmth that transforms the whole car. It picks up the light in a way that makes the wheels look like jewelry.
The M51 Targa design features clean, sharp lines that match the muscular haunches of the Bentley. It looks like it could have come straight from the factory if Bentley had a wilder design team. The satin clear coat takes the edge off the shine, giving it a sophisticated, expensive look.
Proportion is everything with a car this large. The 24-inch wheels don't look oversized because the Bentley has massive fender flares to begin with. The visual balance is spot on, creating a stance that is both elegant and intimidating.
I have seen plenty of Bentleys on custom wheels, but this one feels different. It manages to be a show car that you would actually want to drive to a high-end dinner. The bronze finish prevents the car from looking like just another white luxury sedan.
The way the light hits those brushed faces in the afternoon sun is incredible. You can see the hand-brushed details, which adds a tactile quality you don't get with powder-coated wheels. This build sets a new bar for how we should be modifying these British cruisers.
Why We Love This Build
This Bentley Continental creates an instant impact the moment it rolls into view. The White paint acts as a perfect blank canvas for those Brushed Olympic Bronze Brixton wheels. Every time the car moves, the satin finish shifts under the light, revealing intricate details in the spokes. It isn't just a wheel change; it is a total attitude shift that makes the car look faster and lower.
We love that the owner didn't compromise on quality. Everything about this build feels intentional, from the perfect fitment to the bold color choice. It reminds us why we fell in love with car culture in the first place. You need this setup to truly make a Bentley your own.

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 24×9.5 and 24×11.5-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 24×9.5 and 24×11.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
