Streetspin by Davin Provides New Level of Luxury for More Than 100 Vehicles; Davin Wheels' Style and Technology Available to Entirely New Market

PROVIDENCE, R.I.--March 23, 2004--For years, automotive enthusiasts have waited patiently for the superior design and patented spinning technology of Davin Wheels (www.davinwheels.com) to be available in a wide range of fitments to fit their vehicles. Streetspin by Davin (www.streetspin.com) ends the three -year wait. With design cues taken from Davin's signature Revolution line, Streetspin offers "affordable luxury" for auto enthusiasts who want authentic spinning wheels, rather than spinning attachments.

Streetspin utilizes Davin's proprietary technology to produce spinners with unparalleled balance. The base wheel is a fully-chromed, low pressure cast wheel with an integrated mesh screen made from light-weight aluminum. Streetspin is currently available in two styles:

-- SS1 -- A traditional five-spoke design makes SS1 a classic. It is designed with a recessed spinner and lip overhang to accentuate spinning at all angles. It is available in 19-, 20-, 22- and 24-inch diameters and a chrome or satin silver finish.

-- SS2 -- SS2 pays homage to traditional mesh-style wheels. Its nine-spoke design blends traditional style with new age spinning technology. SS2 also is available in 19-, 20-, 22- and 24-inch sizes and a chrome or satin silver finish.

"Streetspin by Davin offers the consumer a high-quality, competitively-priced alternative to the imitation spinning wheels that are in the market. Streetspin carries the distinction of Davin's patented freespin technology and superior design, but at a lower price point," said David Fowlkes, president and lead designer, Davin Wheels. "We equate Davin's 2004 product collection to Ralph Lauren's Purple Label collection, which makes Streetspin the 'Chaps by Ralph Lauren' of the Davin product line. With Streetspin we are continuing to offer the style and luxury of the Davin brand."

Even though the mesh screen of the base wheel is painted black, it provides the perfect canvas to inspire "multifaceted customization." This may include spinners painted to match the vehicles, which downplays overall wheel chrome, or painted screens, which is a subtler approach to customization that accentuates the overall wheel chrome. (Wheel owners are responsible for customization.)

Streetspin offers fitments for more than 100 vehicles, which is most extensive range of fitments ever offered for a Davin product line.
