Bentley Bentayga deliveries might have kicked off, but both Crewe and aftermarket developers are working overtime to give the world updated incarnations of the lavish SUV.
While the British automaker is developing an even quicker Speed incarnation of the Bentayga, the young age of the model means tuners haven't managed to fully rework the vehicle yet.

For now, those seeking to add a custom touch to their Bentaygas will have to settle for a set of wheels. German tuner Startech is among the first, if not the first, custom specialist to gift the Bentayga with aftermarket shoes.

The Brabus-owned company has fitted the jacked-up Bentley with its Monostar S wheels, which the company offers in the two finishes you can see below. Since Bentley has gifted the Bentayga with wheels ranging between 20 and 22 inches, the aftermarket specialist felt the need to up the ante on this front, delivering 23-inch rollers.

These wheels come with a multi-double spoke design, while featuring a concave profile, with the latter feature appearing to be the norm these days.

Ever since Bentley introduced the EXP 9 F Concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, which previewed the Bentayga, the styling of the SUV has been the target of many critics. Despite Crewe changing the design for the production model, the trend hasn't changed too much.

Given this background, we don't expect anybody who has paid a small fortune on a Bentayga to care about the popular opinion on their car. And the same goes for those who choose a custom shoeing job for their Bentley SUV.

Nevertheless, it shouldn't take long until complete visual Bentayga packages show up. And since Mansory, which is known for its ridiculous kits, has already teased such a package, we're warning you - as an enthusiast, not having an armor that protects you against kitsch is a serious issue.
