On June 13, 2026, the Driven National Tour rolled into the Great Canadian Casino in Coquitlam for its Vancouver stop, and Forgelite Wheels was proud to be part of it. As one of Canada's premier aftermarket car shows, Driven brought together builders, brands, and enthusiasts from across the country, and for us, this stop meant a little more than most. Vancouver is actually where Forgelite Wheels began, and our headquarters in Delta, BC sits just forty minutes down the road.
Driven is part of a coast to coast tour celebrating Canadian car culture, and the Vancouver stop delivered exactly what fans have come to expect: a family-friendly, all ages showcase of modified vehicles spanning imports, domestics, trucks, motorcycles, and more. Running from 12 PM to 6 PM, the show combined a full vehicle showcase with a marketplace of vendors covering performance parts, detailing equipment & cleaners, electronics, apparel, and everything in between.
The headline moment of the day was a live Rauh Welt one off build curated by Akira Nakai himself. This was a rare opportunity for Canadian enthusiasts to watch an RWB creation take shape in person rather than through the usual cell phone screen. We think it's safe to say the Vancouver stop lived up to its reputation as one of the most anticipated dates on the tour.

Every stop on the Driven tour matters to us, but Vancouver holds a particular place in Forgelite's story. This is the city where the brand was born, and our headquarters in Delta remains close enough that we consider the entire Lower Mainland home turf. Representing the company anywhere in the world is a privilege, but doing it a short drive from where it all started carries its own kind of significance.
That connection to our home turf showed in the turnout, as our booth saw a steady stream of visitors throughout the day, from enthusiasts asking about wheel designs and finishes to owners talking through fitment for upcoming builds. Conversations like these, about custom offsets, sizing, and discovering new possibilities for a specific platform or specific designs are exactly why we show up to events like this one.
Alongside the show's headline attractions, we brought a lineup of builds fitted with custom Forgelite wheels. Each one has a different take on how the right wheel setup can define a car.
This Verde Mantis Huracán Tecnica paired its vibrant factory color with a set of Forgelite SV04-M forged modular wheels, sized 20x9 up front and 20x11.5 in the back. The build used a brushed gloss clear face with a mirror-polished lip for the passenger side, and the driver's side carried a custom lime juice green accent through the barrel and lip to color match the car's paint, and features a satin black face. The passenger side kept things classic with a brushed and polished combination, giving the car two distinct personalities depending on which angle you caught it from.
Our in house engineering team has the car's flush fitment sitting just right, dialing in a 'wider than stock' look that gives the Tecnica a more planted look without sacrificing the weight efficiency a performance car deserves.

This ABT kitted Audi S7 is equipped with Forgelite ML02-M modular wheels in a Satin and Gloss Triple Bronze finish, sized 21x11 all around with half exposed black PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) hardware. The bronze tone plays very well against the widebody kit's carbon fiber accents, shifting subtly in different light while staying refined when the car was parked. Our engineer team worked closely with ABT & our client to get the proper flush stance; proof that on a build this aggressive, fitment has to be exact, not approximate.

Rounding out our display was a 2026 BMW M4C fitted with Forgelite SV11 monoblock wheels, sized 20x10.5 up front and 21x11 in the rear. The wheel set was finished in polished, caduceus gold, with the lettering hand-filled in purple for contrast. The 4 piece center caps carried the same theme, featuring a gloss weave carbon insert with a purple engraved logo and ring. It's a build that shows how far a finishing package can go in giving a wheel its own identity, without changing anything about its initial design.
Every build on our stand at Driven Vancouver made the same point in a different way: aftermarket wheels work the best when the fitment is right. Custom offsets, precise sizing, and platform-specific engineering are what separate a wheel that simply looks good in photos from one that actually sits correctly on the car.
This is the standard we build to on every project, whether it's a forged monoblock set or a fully modular design like the SV04-M or ML02-M. Getting the offset, width, and concavity right for a specific vehicle isn't a finishing touch, it's the foundation the rest of the build sits on.
Driven Vancouver 2026 was by any measure, a strong day for Forgelite Wheels. Between the turnout at our booth, the conversations about upcoming builds, and the chance to share the floor with a live Akira Nakai build, it's a stop we'll remember.
