- Ha!
- Welcome back to another episode of Reviewing Your Cars
except this time we're reviewing our cars baby.
- Outside!
- You know why?
- Because it's 50 degrees outside.
- Well that too,
but we made our own fricking wheel brand
Artisa Art formed Wheels
and we wanna talk about them.
We want to show what we got to offer,
so we figured we'd be doing another review
in our ride because you guys enjoy that.
And I like to make fun of Giles car.
So wheels, tires, suspension fitmentindustries.com
and we've got a gallery madness tournament going on,
so make sure to vote on that for your favorite car.
Somebody's gonna win some good stuff.
We're giving away $500 gift card,
- Ooh.
- an Artisa wheel signed by all of us.
- Ooh!
- We got some crazy stuff going on.
So if your car is not added to the gallery,
get it added so we can review it.
You can get featured on our Instagram pages
and you can help other people out
and find their Fitment.
- Most important of all.
- I think that's enough of the plugs though.
Giles let's start reviewing this bad boy
orange Scion Toyota Subaru FR-S thing.
- Toyoburu incoming!
- Alrighty, so tell me a little bit about this thing.
Let's get into it.
- Alright, so as probably most of us know,
- Yup. - Right.
2013 Scion FRS,
- 2013, great year. - Nothing crazy,
nothing fancy.
They came out with orange cars, right.
On Tein Flex Z coil overs.
Artisa carriers, designed by yours truly.
- Yeah it's good.
Now let's talk about them.
What are they ramped and what size we got.
- So here we have 18 by nine and a half
plus 38 offset square set up front and rear
255, 35 federal 595 RSRs.
So pretty aggressive tire on here.
- I don't know about those.
- No rubbing issues, no, no, anything like that.
Fenders are still not rolled.
Of course like, you know, as you can see,
not sitting crazy low or anything.
- We've been talking about lowering this thing
for a year Giles and you haven't done it.
- I know.
Listen, all right.
So I love the plus 38 offset.
So actually when we were designing these wheels, we're like
what wheel do we want to bring
over to the FRS, B or Z platform?
And I was like, this one I think would look really good.
Like split five spoke.
They're directional, as you can see.
So we actually deco direction loops
to their left and right side.
So the right side looks just like this.
You don't have like the weird you know
swooping this way and that way.
- Well then lets prove it, let's go
on the other side and look at it.
Let's see.
- So something that was super important
to us, obviously, other mods.
So I got the Tomiuneath length header
with the open flash soon.
So that kinda frees up the incredible torque dip
that's on these cars.
- Shredded torque dip.
- Ready revolution three inch exhaust
coming out the back single exit.
I got the VIS carbon trunk on there
the duck-bill, the STI side skirts.
- We're gonna do a fist test this test on the exhaust.
Brent, come here.
Are you getting this?
We're about to fist this.
Cut that.
Yeah, she passes the fist test.
We got a racer.
Just kidding.
I like how this exhausts sounds.
It's actually a good tone.
Especially with those unequal length headers.
You get that classic Subi rumble.
Carbon trunk on there.
We've got the STI style side skirts
and then the BattleAero chassis mount splitter.
That is a unit in itself.
- Would you stand on it?
- I would, but I'm a big boy.
And like, say it's not like it's gonna fall up.
- Stand test, stand test, stand test!
Ooh, okay!
Good enough.
That's a solid splitter though.
- She ain't going anywhere.
I remember when we got it we were like,
Jesus the thing was like this thick and yeah.
It attaches to the frame.
- It's literally sandwiched between
like the crash bar and the frame of the car.
It's not going anywhere.
- I do like sandwiches.
- Yeah.
- What would you say out of everything
on your car is your favorite mod and why?
- Honestly, I mean, I got to say the wheels just
because you know, like I'm super, yeah.
I'm super proud of them.
Like we put a lot of heart and soul into them.
Like they're coming out super lightweight.
They're deco directional, something that really
hasn't been introduced to the car scene before
besides like in your forge wheel
margin which is a couple of thousand dollars.
- Yeah the fitment is spot on.
Nailed it.
Using the fitment gallery.
We were able to figure out
what was going to be the exact best fitment
for this make and model and it is flush.
- On my end keys here, running a nine and a half
plus 40 square set up.
They were, they were good.
I liked that fitment
but I wanted something just a little more aggressive.
And the next step usually is like a plus 35
which just gets really pokey on these cars.
So then you usually have to run like a staggered set up.
And I don't know, a lot of people
don't really like to mess with staggered set up
because then you're buying two different tire sizes.
You're you know dealing with all of that.
So we said like, what if we did a
plus 38 offset to kind of that happy medium in between?
I think they fit damn near perfect.
- Come on you floozy, let's go.
- Why does Tre always look so pissed off?
- He is pissed off.
- Is it because his car blows up all the time?
Do a burnout, all wheel drive.
(laughter)
Just poof, oh yeah.
So one thing I just want to touch
on last about this car, cause I think it's weird.
And I think I brought this up before,
but I want to say it.
- I know.
- Why the, they put red seats in an orange car?
Who did that?
Who okay'd that?
That's not okay.
Red on orange is wrong.
Three, two, one,
- Nine and a half. - Eight point seven five.
- Nine and a half because I know I need a diffuser
and a little bit more low.
- That was my pick too.
- Except the problem is I bought an RX eight
and that has consumed my life for the last six months.
- You'll have that on some of those Dorito jobs.
- This guy is just sitting here like.
- Cool ranch, bro.
Let's keep moving forward.
So car number two we have my baby
2014 Ford focus ST3 package.
Just so you know, not the RS.
Cause I was a broke bitch when I got this.
Just kidding if you have an ST you're not a broke bitch.
But I was so.
- I mean you got the ST3.
- Yeah I pulled out you know what I'm saying?
I guess I gotta get this out of the way
it's driving me nuts.
So fist test.
- Yeah hold on a second.
What happened here?
What happened?
You were so proud of these.
You just decided to rip one out?
- So we were filming an Artisa video
on Artisa's YouTube channel.
- Oh so it's our fault.
- It is because it flew off during that shoot.
It was like the first time I,
it wasn't even in the winter
but it was really cold out that day.
I'm guessing the adhesive.
I mean they were on there for two fricking years.
Just decided to let go.
But hey, I knew we were filming this video.
- Oh no.
- No, not oh no.
I got another one, it's ready to go.
I didn't have any Elmer's glue.
- Elmer's, well no it fell off,
you're using fucking Elmer's glue
to hold your hood fan?
- I didn't use Elmer's glue.
It's made out of horse hooves, but okay.
So anyways, let's get in.
Now that that's addressed, we can keep moving forward.
Yes I know I have to fix my hood fan.
I'm gonna go home and glue it tonight
after I get a good solid glue stick that works.
So I have Aeroflo dynamics splitter
canard side skirts, diffuser, all that kinds of stuff.
Why don't we all go that full bolt-on.
So we have our intake our exhaust,
the catalyst downpipe.
It's tuned on 91 because when I got to the tune,
I was daily driving the car and
I didn't want to get on with finding 93.
It can be a pain in the ass.
Plus I can run 93 anyways so.
And it's a Focus ST,
I'm not going crazy fast in it anyways.
we have the rally innovations wings.
I doubled up on the wings.
So I have two times the down force
on my front wheel drive car.
I got it tinted.
We have the Corbo seats inside.
I have a SS tuning custom shift knob in there
with El Cantara.
Airlift performance.
Three piece suspension.
That's why I got the lanyard.
- Hey, who stole my car?
- Yeah, what the hell?
- Got it, got it.
- What else do I got done on this thing?
So we have 18 by nine and a half
plus 38 Artisa kinetics in the road in bronze.
I thought the bronze would be a good kind
of contrast between the white and
the black you got the bronze.
I think it pops.
It looks really nice.
And then I was so damn happy with the fitment.
It turned out amazing.
It literally airs out right on the spot.
Absolutely love it.
And then wrapped on those I have some federal 595s
235-40.
On my previous set up I had VIP modular,
a BLS nine, 10, three piece wheels.
Those were a little more aggressive offset.
So I was actually running a 215.
So when I went with the Artisa's,
I was able to run a bigger tire and
it still fits good, airs out perfect.
So I was really happy with that.
Now I was going to wash this car for you guys
because I love you guys.
However, I have a giant hole in my hood
and I didn't want the fountain of water
just pouring down there.
So as soon I get the glue stick
going to wash the car too.
- Hell yeah.
- But yeah, I'm trying to think what else to go over.
Here I'll pop the hood.
I have carbon fiber all over this car too.
- Can't you just reach inside and do it?
- Yeah I got a, I had my battery cover off.
- Dude, retro.
- OG baby.
- Sorry.
- No, that's fine.
I have the, ooh, I have the custom fall leaf mod.
Hey, back up here.
Hey, camera guy you getting this?
I'm up here.
I have the full dress-up bolts kit on here
which was really cool.
I think it makes the engine bay kind of pop.
- That I do like.
How much of a pain in the was that to do honestly?
- Not that bad.
The only thing that sucked was a lot
of those were just like pop in clips and stuff.
And now they're screws that have nuts on the backside.
So like getting a wrench in behind there
got kind of tight.
Overall, super easy modification.
I think it makes your engine bay look good.
You got the Cobb access port
because it's the Ford focus
and Corbo RRS seats.
You got the stitching, got the airlift controller
mount on there.
And then everyone thinks my badges are whited out,
but if you look closely it's ghosted
and then it has a matte Ford logo in there.
I just didn't like the blue oval.
It stood out to me.
I like the white on white think it looks nice and clean.
Got the banners, got stickers,
so I can't see anything.
I've done pretty much everything
I've wanted to do to the car
including losing a hood vent.
Always wanted to try that out.
It sucked.
I'm going to rate it in its current state.
- Okay.
- All right.
Ready?
Three, two, one,
- Ten - Nine point nine.
- Yeah, 10 baby.
You know what?
That's a new trend.
I'm actually not going to put the new
hood vent in I'm going to leave it out.
- Okay.
- You're getting more air flow in there
the intake is over back here.
But you know what, the air will get in there regardless.
It's sick.
It looks cool.
You know, 10 baby all day.
All right, next car.
All right.
Now I'm on this side.
- Wrong way.
- So yeah, we got a van.
- Some weird stuff going on now.
- Dude, Odyssey gang, this thing is dope.
I don't care what you say.
- Hold on, hold on.
Not only is it a van,
come here, come here.
- Come on camera guy.
You getting this?
- Come on, hop in the passenger seat,
I'm just kidding, hop in the driver's seat.
- Right hand drive van.
- Right hand drive dad van.
- You might have seen it on driver to driver.
Possibly.
If you haven't, you should check that episode out
cause it was funny.
But we want to get into details about this thing.
Cause it's dope and it's on Artisa's now.
So yeah.
Another set of carriers.
This is one of our guy Bronson's he works here.
He works on some website stuff, all sorts of fun stuff.
This is his Honda Odyssey van.
It's got the Mugen conversion body kit on it.
- Moo-gin.
- Moo-gin, not mew-gin.
- Don't say mew-gin, no, they get mad.
They made a whole conference about saying moo-gin.
- Moo-gin, not mew-gin, moo-gin.
All right so, Mugen front end
I absolutely love it.
He's rocking the Artisa carriers.
So not only the same wheels that I got on my own FRS
but these are in the rode in bronze
and I absolutely love the color.
- So if our wheels fused.
- Yes, thank you, did that.
So like I said, rode in bronze, Artisa carriers.
These are an 18 by nine and a half
plus 35 for the five to one 14 point three.
It got some advent sport, all seasons,
255-40 for the tire size on there.
It's a good all around.
- He drives this all year.
- Yeah he does.
- A good tire for that.
I absolutely love this thing.
- We should drive it back to Japan.
- Yeah?
That'd be a long ferry ride.
- We'll just drive it back.
- Oh.
- You go up through Canada and
- Alaska, Russia?
- We'll get there.
Anyways, so, this thing's dope.
I love it.
I think the fitment is spot on
he's on BC racing, coil overs.
They ride amazing on this van.
You'd never even think it was like
lowered when riding it's just like a van.
It's comfy, it's spacious.
It has the largest rain guards in the game.
So I can see Giles getting red in the face
getting a little bit upset,
but it's still dope.
This thing is so dang cool and so different and quirky.
And I think the wheels paired on it are dope.
They look super good.
The fitment, nice and spot on, flush.
Can't say we were making these for Honda Odysseys.
But it worked.
It worked damn good and they look good.
Does have an exhaust on it and we can do a fist test.
- Oh God.
- It's your turn though.
You got a fist it.
Fist the van.
You can double fist it if you want.
Double fist test, double fist test.
- Oh, oh a little tight.
- Okay oh, piss.
- All right, Giles is stuck.
What are you doing?
(beep)
- Kid hauler.
And Artisa skate deck.
Bronson knows what's up brother.
Hell yeah.
Get the baby skating.
The map is only set to Japan.
You cannot change it.
And it only speaks Japanese to you.
- Are you serious?
- Yeah.
You probably get to Japan now.
- Oh yeah, look there it is.
- See, I told you we can just drive there.
We're almost there.
- Why are like half the buttons in English
and half of them in Japanese?
- Because you never know.
When you're sitting here.
- Yeah.
- It looks like it's a million miles away.
Almost like Japan.
So that is the JDM Honda Odyssey
on the Artisa carriers.
Hope you guys enjoyed this, but before we leave
we've got to rate this puppy.
- I was going to say it ready?
- Three, two, one,
- Nine. - Japan.
- Nine.
- Japan out of ten.
Nine Japan out of ten.
Okay, thank you.
So thank you guys for tuning in.
It's super fun to do this.
And I think you guys enjoy seeing our cars
and we wanted to talk a little bit about the Artisa's
cause we worked really hard on them.
So comment down below if there's
any cars you'd like to see reviewed
I think we're going to start changing up
and reviewing more cars out in the wild like this
and get your car added into the gallery
so when we do our reviewing your cars,
you can get reviewed,
but we appreciate you guys so much.
Wheels, tires, suspension, fitmentindustries.com
everything you've seen in this video

All right.
I'm going to see if I can get to Japan.
- It's going to be a long drive.
- They have good sushi.
So I'm going to go.
(honk)
- You're gonna need those, yeah, yeah.
All right, cut, cut, cut.
(hip-hop beat fades out)
