YOUR STORY MATTERS

Editor's Note

Great builds aren’t rushed—they’re earned.

Aaron’s 2007 Mustang GT Widebody and its bronze DR08D deep dish wheels are the result of an unusually long and meticulous journey. Countless back-and-forths, refinements, and discussions shaped every detail into exactly what it needed to be.

That level of patience and commitment is rare—and it shows.

Now part of our ambassador family, Aaron’s build is a true testament to what happens when vision meets persistence.

RVRN Feature Interview

Aaron G. & RV-DR08D & 2007 Mustang GT Widebody

An exclusive interview with our featured VIP

What first drew you to your 2007 Mustang GT widebody? Was there a specific moment or memory that made you decide this was the car for you?

Originally, I wasn’t speciﬁcally looking to get a Mustang, any cheap manual car would have suﬃced. But my mom being a previous mustang owner, my dad insisting that a cheap car will cost more in the long run, and them both being great parents; helped me purchase a clean 2007 Mustang GT with only 16k miles back in 2014 when I ﬁrst got my license.

How does your 2007 Mustang GT widebody fit into your lifestyle? Can you share a memorable scenario where your Mustang really stood out?

It was my daily driver for 6 years and I drove it everywhere. I then installed a Saleen supercharger and everything snowballed from there. Suﬃce to say, I worked on it as much as I drove it,so it became more than just a car to me. It was equal parts a hobby as it was a mode of transportation. I even drove it to and from the church when I got married.
I went through 5 sets of wheels of varying size and color. 20”, 19”, 18”; black, white, chrome, bronze. I’ve had both single and multi-piece wheels, real and replicas. Some I outright didn’t like, others were ﬁne but just didn’t stick. But the one issue I had with all of them was ﬁtment, I always had to use spacers or they just didn’t ﬁt as nicely as I would have preferred.

How did you first learn about RVRN, and what made you consider them over other wheel brands?

With all the modiﬁcations I had done to the engine, exhaust, suspension, and exterior; I ﬁgured it was time to ﬁnd an end all set of wheels. I knew a custom set was what I wanted, so I had been browsing around for companies who provided that. Around the same time, Shirokai (a company that produces wide body kits) messaged me asking if I’d like to install one on my Mustang; to which I said yes. This made the choice of companies that make custom wheels much slimmer as the oﬀset I calculated was a staggering -70mm, among them was RVRN wheels.

When selecting your RVRN wheels, what caught your eye first? Why was that important to you?

I knew that with the body kit, I didn’t want the wheels to be so ﬂashy they become the focal point. Instead, I wanted something that would add to the overall aesthetic and ﬂow well with the rest of the car. So The DR08 step lips caught my eye, an oem+ look with ﬁne details that would make you have to look twice.

Did you have any custom requests for your wheels? How did the RVRN team collaborate with you to bring that vision to life?

I sent a quick message asking if they could be made to the spec that I needed and was promptly answered by Vicky who took down all the information for my wheels and took care of the rest. The oﬀset however, did pose an issue with the design. I was given the option for max concavity or maximum lip, neither of which I felt would look right at such an extreme oﬀset. After some back and forth with Bruce, who was my wheel engineer, my dream wheels were born. A gloss black lip, bronze faced, monster that somehow both hides and accentuates the oﬀset and tucks perfectly within the widened wheel arches.

What’s the first thing you noticed about your car after installing your RVRN wheels? Was it the handling, the appearance, or something else?

Opening the box for the ﬁrst time was truly an experience, getting to see what was only renderings and pictures a few weeks prior, in front of me. Besides the amazing ﬁnish, the ﬁrst thing that stood out to me was how light they were for their size. At 20 x 11 inches, the wheels are not small by any means. Knowing they’re forged, I expected them to be light, but I didn’t expect them to be noticeably lighter than my 19 x 9s that were on the car previously.

Have there been moments when RVRN wheels exceeded your expectations? How do people react when they see your car with the RVRN wheels?

With the mustang sitting at a hefty 82” wide, it deﬁnitely gets a lot of attention whenever I drive it. The most common question is always “what wheels are these?” And to the more keen car enthusiasts, the follow up question is usually “what oﬀset are they?” It’s always entertaining to see their reaction when I tell them it’s -70. highend, super-expensive wheels out there.

Is there anything we haven’t covered about your RVRN experience that you’d like to share?

If I could describe RVRN in one sentence to a fellow car enthusiasts, I would say “The go to place for the wheels you want, exactly how you want them.” I know that it would mostly be for very speciﬁc cases, but a feature I’d love to see in future wheel collections is the addition of the same hybrid deep dish/concave as my wheels for other wheel designs. I think it’s such a good blend that bridges the gap for cars needing wheels with large oﬀsets so owners don’t need to pick one over the other.
