Remember the days when an important part of the urban tuning culture was all about the wrap and the custom wheels? Well, that combo is still alive and kicking, as this Rolls-Royce Cullinan comes to show.
This SUV left the Goodwood factory covered in a shade of grey, but since its owner was going to drive it in LA, where the supercar and luxury vehicle density is uber-high, the gear head decided to give it a bit of a custom treatment - the vehicle was touched by local label RDBLA.
Of course, this behemoth only looks like a cloud in certain lighting conditions and, hopefully it ride still makes occupants feel as if they were riding on top of one - the machine now rides on 26-inch Forgiato wheels. Heck, these are the kind of rims that might just turn a smaller car into a #donk (if you don't know what's behind that hashtag, you'd better hold on to your seat before clicking the link).
Then again, the Rolls-Royce doesn't sit high, as the machines following the said subculture do. Even on these monster rollers, the Cullinan has been slightly lowered, albeit with the air suspension of the vehicle allowing the one behind the wheel to play with the ride height.
Oh, and yes, those floating RR center caps are still there, so nobody will hurt their neck while checking out this thing rollin' slowly through the parking lot.
The inspiration for the project might've just come from the cabin of the machine, which is covered in satin white and black. Laminated satin white is the finish that defines the wrap covering most of the $500,000 SUV's body, while other elements, such as that massive front grille, come in glossy white.
If you think about it, all the elements of this custom job are reversible, so perhaps this will give purists a way to cope with the transformation. If, however, this kind of touches float your custom boat, there's always the Monopoly Man Cullinan.
