How does one seek tix to this event. I believe its only open to people in the Auto industry, no?

[rage2]

If you are a Tunerworks customer, I'm sure they can hook you up.

We get in as we're media. VIP no lineups getting our passes haha.

[Mibz]

"Auto industry"

If you work anywhere mildly related to the automotive industry, including an electronics retailer or mechanic student, you can get tickets to this show and proceed to step in front of me then spend a full minute trying to take a shitty photo with your iPad.

Totally not bitter.

A lot of the wheels in the Ford booth were Fogiato. I'll chekc the other angles we have of that wheel to see if there is a name.

[rage2]

Kompression forged 24x16" rears. The damn lip fit an iPhone 6 and a 6 plus haha.

I checked this car up close and spoke with the owner, the whole rear end was reworked with shorter half shafts, custom suspension, and brakes/hubs moved several inches inwards to make those wheels work.

[kenny]

The red mustang has Kompression Forged wheels.

What Goes On Outside The SEMA 2014 Show – Part 1

http://www.beyond.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/outside-outdoors-sema-2014-40-550x310.jpg

I joke every year that the cars and models outside of the main SEMA Show are just as jaw dropping as the cars at most car shows. There is just an amazing amount of nicely done up cars and it really is hard as a tuner to stand out whether you’re booth is inside or outside of SEMA.
