Shaq Buys New RAM 1500, Has It Fitted With 26-In Wheels

Be it a large pickup truck such as the Ford F-650, a muscle car like the Dodge Challenger or even a long-wheelbase Lamborghini Gallardo, Shaquille O’Neal has had his fair share of rides over the years.

But the retired basketball player has always favored good ol’ pickup trucks because of their comfortable interiors and increased hauling abilities (what’s Shaq usually carrying inside those beds, anyway?), and now has a new toy to play with: a 2019 Ram 1500.

The vehicle is already in his possession and, as you’d imagine, it’s not the base version, but a fully loaded model, which has been further customized by the retired professional basketball player, with a set of new rims. These come from Forgiato and are 26-inch in size, with a 10-spoke pattern in a concave design, hence the name of the Series: Concavo. They have also been painted grey to better match the exterior of Shaq’s new ride.

Forgiato has used the same set of wheels in other vehicles in the past, such as the Rolls-Royce Wraith and Aston Martin Vantage V8, in 24- and 22-inch sizes, respectively. Though, if you really want to go over the top, the wheelmaker can sell you the 30 inch Concavo set.

Just to understand what that does to a ride, we covered a story a few months ago with a Chevrolet Camaro sitting on ginormous 32-inch wheels at the time. And guess who made them? That’s right, Forgiato.
