2009 - A recap of wheel releases

2009 has been a time of economic downturn and struggle for many individuals and companies. The wheel market on the other hand has been pumping out many wheels. The freshly released wheels have all new designs as well as new manufacturing techniques resulting in stronger and lighter wheels! Wheelsto wanted to take the time towards the end of the season to recap some of the exciting wheel releases from various premium manufacturers.

WSTO and IND’s annual summer BBQ photos

Even though competition in the automotive industry is sometimes fierce, fantastic things always happen when two companies choose to work together for a common cause. IND, WSTO, and their clients were able to get together for a great cause, and make a donation to the Susan G Komen breast cancer foundation. I hope that everyone who came out to our event had a great time, and that we can make next year an even bigger event!
