It's been nearly a decade since Bugatti officially discontinued the Veyron, yet this modern-classic hypercar keeps a good chunk of the petrolhead crowd up at night.
Back then, the Molsheim brand was all about establishing records, so the Veyron Super Sport was the fastest car in the world at one point, hitting a top speed of 268 mph (431 kph) at Volkswagen's Ehra-Lessien oval back in 2010.
The Super Sport boasted more power than the standard Veyrons. The quad turbocharged W16 engine, which had an 8.0-liter displacement, was tuned to develop 1,183 hp (1,200 ps/883 kW) and a whopping 1,106 pound-foot (1,500 Nm) of torque.
Bugatti built only 450 copies of the Veyron in total, most of which were the original 16.4 specification. To this day, this timeless beast born in Molsheim remains a sought-after collectible and a multi-million dollar machine, depending on the configuration and how many miles it has under its belt.

It is unknown how many examples of the Bugatti Veyron have survived the test of time, as some were involved in horrific crashes, yet the ones that have still receive much attention. That said, let's put our hands together for one special copy. The pictured machine received a visit from the wheel fairy, which granted it a wish called the SV5 Deep Concave Dublock.
Yep, that's the name of the alloy set that equips it. It came from Strasse's portfolio and features a satin bronze look. The wheels measure 10x20 inches at the front and 13x21 inches at the rear, and they are a two-piece forged proposal with optimized weight. Besides this size, they are also available in other diameters, ranging from 18 to 22 inches, and can be finished in different hues.
Besides the pictured Bugatti Veyron, which was made back in 2009, these alloys were also fitted to other hot rides. The Ferrari 488 GTB wears them, and so does the F8 Tributo. They are the wheels of choice for one special Audi R8, and the owner of a G82 BMW M4 Competition decided their ride needs to sit on them, too.
Thus, the SV5 Deep Concave Duoblock is not exactly on the exclusive side. Still, that doesn't matter, as it fits the styling of the pictured hypercar great. This Veyron has a bi-tone look mixing white and gold, and it comes with black brake calipers with Bugatti branding in white on them. The vehicle has aged like a fine wine, and even if its successor, the Chiron, may look and perform better, it is impossible to argue with the coolness of a Veyron, regardless of its specification, isn't it?
So, if you were the proud owner of this hypercar, would you have given it aftermarket wheels?
