DonвЂ™t ever let your momentum stop.ДЄll that skratchingвЂ¦ is making me itchвЂ¦ makin me itchвЂ¦ SF Bay area native DJ Qbert is the best in the world at rocking the tables. Clout is one of the top independent magazines about graffiti art and spraycan culture, and it was all started by a motivated, resourceful young lady named Jane from San Jose CA. This show had all that and then some.Д Styles is shown here rocking a hat from CLOUT Magazine. It was pretty awesome to see hip hop legends like the ISP crew out at InfamousвЂ¦ right after high school, I was pretty much obsessed with cars, girls, hip hop, and photography. While everyone else was busy walking around staring at wheels, DJ D Styles of the legendary turntablist crew Invisibl Skratch Piklz was gettin busy on the wheels of steel. Maybe someone else can figure out a better caption than I can. On the opposite end of vendor row, I spotted our boy Brian Scotto from Hoonigan. This would look incredibly bad ass on the MotorMavens Scion FRS project car. Check out their all new ULTRA DEEP CONCAVE Work CR Kai Ultimate!!!! Amazing. In the vendor row, my favorite booth was definitely from Work Wheels. This looks so sick!!! To whoever owns this Ruck, you have great style! Probably my FAVORITE wheel setup at the entire Infamous show was this single SSR Mark II wheel mated to a turbocharged Honda Ruckus from the SGV-based Standard Functions crew. Perhaps the Porsche 911 that piqued my interest most at the Infamous event was this little leather handmade 911 that was strapped to Mark ArcenalвЂ™s Leica camera! This thing is dope!!! IвЂ™m not exactly sure where he got it (I forgot to ask), but most likely it was made in Japan? Every time I go to Japan, I always find super cool handmade leather or wooden crafted goods.

He kept the body of his 964 Porsche clean and original, but slammed it on his ever popular Rotiform wheels. I love them! Brian Henderson from Rotiform definitely comes from the same school of thought. ThereвЂ™s just something to be said about steel fenders. When I finally get around to buying a Porsche of my own, I think IвЂ™d most likely keep the body original. Either way, they fill the overfender arches very nicely! Of course, I love the wheels on the RWB Porsches.

It was great seeing the new RWB 993 in person. The new SSR Professor wheels look much better on this car too! No offense meant to the manufacturer of the carвЂ™s previous wheels (those guys make awesome wheels too), but I think SSR wheels just fit the look of what an RWB car should look like. It was cool to see Mark ArcenalвЂs Pandora One RWB 964 911 redone in black! I like this black exterior much much much much much better than the matte green exterior it had when the car debuted at SEMA 2011. They had poles and trash cans and fences behind them вЂ“ no bueno! But then againвЂ¦ they ARE Rauh Welt Porsches, so I suppose theyвЂ™d look good even next to a trash dumpster. As the most widely publicized marquee vehicles in the entire show, I was surprised that the cars were staged in such a bad location for photographs. In the familiar grassy field next to the Queen Mary, I spotted the internet famous Rauh Welt Porsche 911s built in California by RWB USA. Since itвЂ™s farther away from where I live, I decided to check out Infamous in Long Beach first. HereвЂ™s a quick gallery of images from both events! ItвЂ™s obvious that MotorMavens connects to both scenes and both types of automotive taste, so those who follow on Instagram and Twitter already know that we decided to hit both shows. For this rapidly growing new generation of frame-scraping tire stretchers, the newly conceptualized Infamous show was thrown as a collaboration between the Fatlace and Canibeat Crews at the Queen Mary in Long Beach. However, some young car enthusiasts donвЂ™t care about memory lane nostalgia or waxing poetic about the good old days.

Can it be that it was all so simple then? Good cars and good friends in a relaxed atmosphere, surrounded by good Japanese restaurants and boutique shops in Little Tokyo. The whole vibe at Nisei Showoff feels a bit nostalgic, to be honest.

Everyone knows that Nisei Showoff symbolizes the best of the best вЂ“ the highest standard in modified import cars, with attendance by the OG crews that used to run the streets of Los Angeles when the sport compact scene was just beginning to blow up. The tried and true Import Showoff event thrownВ by legendary import carshow promoter Ken Miyoshi during Downtown LAвЂ™s annual Nisei Week Festival in Little Tokyo is always a good time. This past weekend, there were tons of automotive events happening, so those of us located in Southern California faced a dilemma вЂ“ should we go to Nisei Showoff or Infamous?!
