The annual SEMA show offers the wildest high performance products you’re likely to find on earth. And without doubt, it also serves up a hearty helping of the wackiest gear too. If super-sizing wheels isn’t taking things far enough, you can always add some sparkle – or space for a Jacuzzi. It’s SEMA, after all, and subtlety is one thing you’re not going to find at the show.
Bedazzled Chevy V-8
Who doesn’t love the power and punch of a classic Chevy V-8? Apparently, the folks at Proform figured it needed something a little extra. This V-8 now boasts some blinding bling. It certainly drew a crowd here at SEMA. But try to imagine the chaos that V-8 would inflict on the precious bedazzled heads the first time the engine was started. Ouch!
2010 Camaro
If you have stock in Goodyear or Pirelli, chances are you’ll love this car. This 2010 Camaro comes with humungous 24×15 rear wheels wrapped in 405/25-24 tires. These massive wheels could fill the arches on a Peterbilt tractor-trailer, much less a Chevy muscle car.
BPG Werks Scooter
The DTV Shredder from BPG Werks features a 200cc 18hp 4-stroke engine. Top speed is 30 mph. It has lean-to-steer controls with two CVT’s controlling the treads. A tow hitch comes standard, while a remote control, amphibious package and GPS are optional. It’s kind of cool, in a Mad Max-meets-Segway kind of way.
Jeweled Wheel Weights
These impressive wheel weights from P.C. Products mark another entry into the ledger of things that don’t need to sparkle, yet somehow they must at SEMA. They could also double as a flashy set of earrings in a pinch.
Wild Boar Jeep
This dual-axle jeep at the Wild Boar Products stand looks rough and tough, until you factor in the longer wheelbase and larger turning radius. Not exactly fine attributes for a serious off-roader. However, the truck-bed could make the perfect spot for a Jacuzzi…
Crazy Shift-Knobs
If you’re looking to dress up your rat-rod – or scare would-be car thieves – this smoking monkey head in a fez and deranged pineapple shift-knob might be just the thing. These could make even a beige Corolla look seriously demented.
Dcenti Custom
We think this blindingly orange creation at the Dcenti stand started life as a Chrysler 300. Maybe. It has all the custom car touches: suicide doors, TV screens, huge wheels, massive speakers and Bentley-like grill. What takes it to the next level are the Venus Fly Trap bed cover and hood. Okay, those and the hard plastic seats. And with so much work poured into this vehicle, you think someone might have color-matched the black rubber door seals.
Optima Rock Crawler
How do you get people to look at a stand devoted to batteries? You put THIS in front of it. Meet the very awesome Optima Rock Crawler. Did anyone else play with a Construx building set as a kid? Apparently so.
This is all and good fun and we get a kick out of seeing the wild things that are brought to the show each year. Because, just when you think you’ve seen it all at SEMA, you turn a corner and find the unimaginable!
