Introduction by the Editor

From the first time we covered the Tuner Evolution Philly event back in 2013, we were thoroughly impressed by the presences of uniquely modified cars and beautiful models and various party themed activities of the event.  All are in the east coast style.

Earlier this year, Tuner Evo team tested the water on the west coast in conjunction with the Ace Alloy Wheels for an open house.   It proves the fun did not just happen at the east coast, but across the continent as well.

Here we have the opportunity to have our contributing photographer Jasper Ibe to cover the 10th anniversary of Tuner Evolution Philly event, and it seems to be a grand success again!  We are super happy to see the cars and models and stage actions.  Definitely look forward to seeing them in many years more!!

Here is the direct report from our contributing Jasper Ibe:

On-site reporting from Jasper Ibe: 

"I have been attending and covering car shows since 2011.  I can only imagine the amount of time and energy required to plan, organize and execute.  To deliver a high quality product for 10 years is quite amazing, to say the least.  That is the team at Tuner Evolution has been able to do.

Their 10th Anniversary show as held at The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center on July 30, 2016.  From the layout and the spacing of the vehicles to the different sound systems that kept the music and energy levels going throughout the day, it was clear that this wasn't their first rodeo...lol

There was a very entertaining breakdancing contest of which I am glad I was not a judge.  Plenty of vendors to get inspired or rep your preferred vehicle.  A highly engergetic performance by Xavier Wulf.

A myriad of models that were more than welcome to chat and take pictures with their fans.  As well there was school bag giveaway to all the kids in attendance.

Last but definitely not least the cars.  Wow...there were more than 400 of the hottest cars on the East Coast.  There was a great mix of vehicles of the 2 wheel variety as well, some were raised up, and some were slammed to the ground.

It was most definitely a day filled with enough eye candy to keep you occupied.  This was my first time attending a Tuner Evolution Show, definitely not my last.

Congratulations on an amazing 10th Anniversary show, and cheers to the next 10 years!"

Thank you Jasper Ibe!!  We will have more coverage in the following days.  Definitely stay tuned here as well as magazine's cars section.

Second Meeting is Even Better Than The First! Meeting Caitlin Wood at Motiv Wheels in Bimmerfest 2016 @Caitlin_baby5

The all American bombshell Caitlin Wood has impressed us again and again!  Here at the Bimmerfest 2016

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

The first time we met Caitlin Wood, it's like walking into a fashion booth and met the fashion super model, with a slick Jeep, at the SEMA 2015 show.

This time at the Bimmerfest 2016 Caitlin showed up again with her ultra glamour self that calls for all photographers' attention within the full venue spectrum of the show.

Caitlin looked even better than the first time we met if that is possible.  Her beautiful silky blond hair with picture perfect smile has already melted people's heart.  Then her fashion goddess figure makes the whole presence a radiant and impeccable one! 

Needless to say we were impressed again and look forward to being impressed one more time!

Even though we did not get to know more about the model from the Krave Girls team, but this cute blond model is enough to make a good impression on us.

The leggy model has a bright personality that shares her inner happiness with all the people surrounding her.

It was  a great pleasure taking pictures of her at the show and we are sure that we will see her again soon!

Lots of Rafael Clothing Girls at @ExtremeAutofest Anaheim 2016 @EAFcarshows

Under the southern California sun drenched sky, the cool model Lindsey Bower for the GEAR Wheels stayed healthy and happy under the booth.

Lindsey was busy signing her autographed posters, and we got a chance to take a few snaps of her away from her duty.

Just a Few Photos That Show How Beautiful Amy Fay is, at Bimmerfest 2016 @theamyfay

Amy Fay.  We think the title should just be like that and it will do all the rest of talking for us!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

Amy Fay, always a fan's favorite, showed up at the Bimmerfest 2016.  It's a pleasant surprise for us, as we have not seen her for a while, and it's definitely great to see her again.

We managed to capture just a few shots of this gorgeous model.  We believe the simple but highly effective collection of Amy in this article is a strong piece to stand by itself.

We did not get a chance to talk with Amy more to see what she is busy with and any future projects that she is working on.  We are sure that we will see her again soon and there will be opportunities to find out more as well.

Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Cover Model Angelina Andrada for Rohana Wheels at Bimmerfest 2016

Every time we meet our cover model Angelina Andrada, our heart just melts, and our camera could not stop.  What an amazing model and a wonderful friend she is!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

At the Bimmerfest, we were totally ecstatic to see our over model Angelina Andrada, at the Rohana wheels booth!

Angelina has been busy running businesses and traveling.  We were talking about the beautiful trip that she took in the big white.  It sounded really wonderful and magical!  Now we just need a ca show big enough for us to go there!

This time at the Bimmerfest, Angelina wore a cute white top and a casual denim shorts, that totally accentuate the shapely limbs that she has!  What a glorious  sight she always produce!!  And that's why she is our cover model, TWICE!!  We are honored!!

All The Way From Hawaii to Fontana, Models With Love at Bimmerfest 2016

Our cool cover model Crystal Mendez had made a great link point for her three lovely Hawaiian model friends at the Bimmerfest 2016 car show, and we were delighted to capture them!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

In the middle of Bimmerfest 2016 car show, we just finished our conversation with our cover model Crystal Mendez, and then she totally called out her model friends who just strut into the show space.

From her quick conversation, we learned that they were her friends from her Hawaiian trip and now the reverse was happening.

Crystal quickly played a wonderful host to show them around and introduced to us.  And we did what we did best, by capturing them in our camera and bring them back to you!  So definitely Enjoy!!

Sexy and Sultry and Bright Cambria Joy Mansfield for Rohana Wheels at Bimmerfest 2016 @Cambria_joy

Cambria always looks so leggy and awesome!  No wonder she is an it-girl in the car show industry!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

No matter where you see Cambria Joy Mansfield, she always  has that telepathic smile to you that warms your heart, and triggers your fingers.

This time at the Bimmerfest 2016, we had the opportunity to see her again for the Rohana wheels booth.

Cambria is the same as we met her first time back in the HIN / SD car show a couple of years ago, gorgeous, elegant, and super leggy!!

We are sure that we will see her in future shows, and probably in many other commercial modeling media outlets as well!

Ultra Popular Super Model Marie Madore for FondMetal in Bimmerfest 2016 @MarieMMao @Fondmetal

It was a cloudy and somewhat dark day at the 2nd day of Bimmerfest 2016.  However, it did not dampen the glamour of this super import model, Marie Madore

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

At the Bimmerfest 2016 show, the first model that we saw was Marie Madore.  She is all white and classy, just like the BMW i8 right next to her.

We got a chance to sanp a few photos and bring them back to all to enjoy!

So Good to See You Again, Our Cover Model Sandra Wong!! for MOD Bargains in Bimmerfest 2016 @Thesandrawong

We haven't see our cover model Sandra Wong for a long time. This is the perfect setting to meet again this gorgeous model and friend at the Bimmerfest 2016 for Mod Bargains

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

Sandra Wong has been a bit out of our coverage for a while.  We missed her a few times, and she was busy at some other time.  This results the great opportunity to see Sandra Wong again at the Bimmerfest Mod Bargain's booth!

Sandra is just as beautiful and charming as always has, if not more!  She is still super friendly and sociable and totally awesome meeting all her fans and friends!

We sure missed her a lot in the past, and would wish that we will see her a lot more in the future!

The Beautiful and Leggy Alicia Kush Kandy for JDM Sport at EAF A 2016 @JDMsport @JDMSportVixens @ExtremeAutofest

The fast rising model star Alicia Kush Kandy did her awesome thing at the EAF Anaheim 2016 for JDM Sport!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

At the Extreme Autofest Anaheim car show this year, we met Alicia again.   She is definitely a true-to-herself awesome model that we totally love!

At the JDM Sport, the music was vibrating and Alicia naturally picked up the beat and started her beautiful waves of salsa dancing.  One could hardly pull self away from this mesmerizing and beautiful model!

Lovely EAF Model Lounge, Christine Zegers, Kastilla Daniel, and Amanda Mitta at @ExtremeAutofest Anaheim 2016

Model Lounge in Extreme Autofest is always fun!  This time we saw Christine Zegers, Kastilla Daniel and Amanda Mitta!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

In the tide of model lounge format transformation, Extreme Autofest Model Lounge still holds its prestige place in the so-Cal car show industry.

This is the place where we meet our old acquaintances as well as finding new faces.  We got the luck to see Christine Zegers, Kastilla Daniel as well as the new model Amanda Mitta.

They all presented different styles in their presence, and showed off their own individuality through costumes that they were in and the hair styles that they wore as well as the smiles that shared with people.  We got three totally different looks!

We Love the Awesomely Cool Charise Jeanine at #DUBShow LA and #EAF 2016

Even in the dark LA convention hall, our feature model Charise Jeannine still shines bright!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

DUB show likes to keep it low, the low light we mean.  The vast Los Angeles Convention Center had a nightclub mood feel at the show.  However, it did not prevent our feature model Charise Jeanine to shine with her gorgeous inks and sleek look to stand tall among models and personalities.

Charise Jeanine, as we mentioned before, has that strong fashion editorial sense of modeling that makes her a different and strong model than other models in the car show world.

She always strives to be good, strong, better, and the best

We Found The Ultra Lovely Sarah Marie Again for Powerbass at @ExtremeAutofest Anaheim 2016

It's so great to see our feature model Sarah Marie at the Extreme Autoefest car show Anaheim 2016!  And she looks more amazing than before!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff

At the Extreme Autofest Anaheim 2016 car show, the sky went dark after 8pm, that summer delayed sunset time.  When we walked around the show, a beautiful blond girl came to our vision.  When the encounter became closer, we recognized that she is our awesome feature model, Sarah Marie, now with Powerbass company!

The excitement was heart felt, because we haven't seen her for a long time, and only in a recent show that we started to see her again!

She is as beautiful as always has, and more so than before.  She went through experimental stages, with her hair colors traveling through the light spectrum.

So Many Models But So Little Time at #Nitto #EAD2016

There were so many models at the Nitto AED Anaheim 2016 that we really could not finish covering them all!  Especially we missed quite a few we know!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com
We know we will come back with stronger coverage next time, if possible. :-)  Great job Nitto Tires for putting together this year's Auto Enthusiast Day AED car show, which is the biggest in its history!  Bravo, bravo!!

You Should Meet This Super Cool Model Kylie Marie Walton in FondMetal Booth at Nitto #EAD2016 @FondMetalUSA

First impression is precious, especially with this amazing model, Kylie Marie Walton at FondMetal!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com

A great promotional model is great at making a great first impression, and a greater model would make that impression lasting by her wonderful personality and interpersonal skills.

Kylie Marie Walton has achieved that and we were totally impressed.

At the FondMetal booth, Kylie Marie Walton gave us a great chance to take some snap shots of her even during the hot hot sun!  She was always so supportive and cheerful that we totally felt at ease at shooting with this cool model!

Cool and Angelic Bella a wonderful JDM Sport Vixen at Nitto #EAD2016 @JDMSportVixens

Bella is always so awesome in everyway!  Not only she looks awesome in our photos, she is also awesome in person, and totally awesome in her contacts!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff
We've met Bella many times, so many that we even lost counts.  As being a staple JDM Sport Vixen model, Bella has created a consistent look for the team, and we can always count on her to create amazing photos to bring back to all our readers!

Each time we take picture of this awesome model, we noticed something different, as in different good!  Before we saw a cool urban kid, and later we witnessed a beautiful flower in blooming, and this time, we see a refreshing beauty that brightened the whole scene!

We are sure that we will see her again in the future, and we sure will bring more awesome photos of this talented model back to all again!!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com

We would never give up the opportunities to capture Motiv Wheels models.  Just look at our past coverage of their models [link] and you will see why!

This time, Caitlin Wood was holding the tent for the great wheel company.  She was busy all the time handing out her autographed posters and posing for either happy fans' selfies with her, or for media photographers at the show.

This is the third time we met up Caitlin Wood, and she looks ever amazing and more!!

Heat And Sweat Neve Stopped Our Feature Model L'Amour Niggl for McLeod Racing at #Nitto #EAD2016 @LamourNiggl

It was hot, really hot at Angel Stadium, on the first day of August 2016.  Our feature model L'Amour Niggl was not deterred by the heat or the sweat or anything that could stop her!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com
In her second hear appearance at the McLeod Racing booth, L'Amour Niggl worked really hard and hot as well!

Not matter how high the temperature was going, L'Amour Niggl always brought her smiles to us and to everybody.  She walked around the booth under the bright sun, and still wore her bright personality on her.  She is totally a trooper!

Glamourous Top Model Bradi S for Centerline Wheels at Nitto #EAD2016 @CenterlineWheel

Thanks to the great Centerline Wheels team, we got a chance to get some really cool shots of this amazing and super glamorous top model Bradi S!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com

We've met Bradi S in the past several times [link].  And we were very happy to see her again, here at the Centerline Wheels booth in Nitto AED 2016!

During our mini shoot, Bradi not only presented her awesome glamour side, she's also a great fashion model in front of our lens.  This very fit model is like the perfect American model that shows up on the cover of fitness magazines, or on a gigantic billboard, or in

That Commanding Presence of Lyssa Roberts for Narvaez Racing at #Nitto #EAD2016

Once you look into Lyssa Roberts' eyes, you could not go away without thinking of her... Lyssas effortlessly made huge impressions on us during the Nitto AED Anaheim 2016!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com

Lyssa Roberts has that Rhianna's laid back aura with high intensity without even needing to make an effort for it.  Her presence is simply a statement of charisma!

During the Nitto AED 2016 car show, we met Lyssa Roberts at the Road Race Engineering booth.  At first, it was a chaos, because there were so many photographers there.

After a closer encounter, we were immediately impressed.  Lyssa has that unspeakable power through her gaze and her power connection without even betting her eye lashes.

That's what we call power modeling!  We sure hope to see more of Lyssa in the future, to witness more awesomeness from this awesome model!

Wow!! More Models at 86Fest Fontana 2016 by Clinton Lum @calibre68

As we said there were so many models at the 86Fest!  Our sage contributing photographer Clinton Lum was really busy that hot day!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com

Our highly professional photographer, Clinton Lum, proved just how professional he is.  The models across the 86Fest were so many but he still got the chance to capture them all, with multiple individual shots.

This level of achievements is not easily attained by anyone, because it's just taking a lot of time, and efforts even to get models to pose specifically for you.  On top of all these model photography, Clinton also does tons of car photography as well.  That's wearing two hats at the same time, bearing heavy gears and spending double the time.  Clinton is totally awesome!!!

The Inside Out is BACK! Models with Inner Wears at 86Fest Fontana 2016 by Clinton Lum @calibre68

We haven't seen models in lingerie at car show for a long while.  We firmly believe that beauty comes in all different forms and styles!

www.wheelsandheelsmag.com / W&HM Staff * Please forward any requests or questions to info@wheelsandheelsmag.com

In the golden old days of car show modeling, lingerie was common at shows.  However, different models have different ways to show them.  Some were really cool but not all of them were.  Then in the low years of car show modeling, things were quietly transforming to a different type of modeling.  More about sleek wears, or club dresses, or cosplay costumes.  Suddenly lingerie went out of the fav of most models.

But not in 86Fest, our safe contributing photographer brought back the evidence that good art never dies, even against the trend!

We are happy to see the budding trend coming back to the car show world, and shows us the glamour of lingerie modeling with cars and gears.

You may ask, what's lingerie to do with cars?  Well we say, what do all these models' wears have anything to do with cars?  It's not like they drive in those dresses or bikinis or the cars have these models come in those looks either.

It's the integrated look.  If your car is hot, you don't want a drab.  If your car is sleek, you go for the stylish.  If your car is souped up, then you should have an equally glam up model to go with it!
