# This Turbo Chrysler PT Cruiser on Bentley Wheels Goes Unbelievably Hard

*\<em\>Летающие Псы on YouTube\</em\>*

It was only ever [a matter of time before people started saying "damn, that's a nice PT Cruiser" again](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/28646/how-post-irony-will-bring-about-the-chrysler-pt-cruiser-revival-movement>). That time is now, because someone has built what might be *the* hardest Chrysler PT Cruiser GT in existence by giving it wheels from a [Bentley Continental](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/42326/2022-bentley-continental-gt-speed-first-drive-review-a-w12-hoon-missile-in-a-grand-touring-suit>). In fact, it's so good that even PT Cruiser haters—and they are many—can't deny how good it looks.

This [Chrysler](<https://www.thedrive.com/category/chrysler-news>) was built in Latvia of all places, by [a guy](<https://www.instagram.com/p/CxNQn2KMt12/>) who I imagine had to jump through more than a few hoops to get a PT Cruiser in the first place. It's an early-production GT, the performance version with a 2.4-liter turbo-four shared with the esteemed [Dodge Neon SRT4](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/24510/you-can-buy-this-low-mile-dodge-neon-srt-4-acr-in-a-bubble-for-100k>). That means it has [performance potential worthy of the Bentley wheels it rides on](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/27715/this-808-hp-chrysler-pt-cruiser-drag-racer-is-ugly-as-sin-but-itll-smoke-dodge-hellcats>).

Said wheels are the 19x9s off a first-gen Continental GT, which ordinarily wouldn't fit the PT Cruiser. They have a 5x112 bolt pattern, while the [Chrysler](<https://www.thedrive.com/category/chrysler-reviews>) uses a 5x100. But that's what hub-centric adapters are for, and while it wasn't necessary to [re-barrel these wheels](<https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw-7F3QsXzw/>), they look all the better for it.

As for why they work, I have a theory. The PT Cruiser rode the same wave of neoclassical car design as the [Chrysler 300](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-2023-chrysler-300c-hemi-v8-sold-out-in-just-12-hours>), which at the time closely resembled the Arnage. (Many Chrysler owners even threw [Bentley](<https://www.thedrive.com/category/bentley-news>) badges on their Chryslers, and were dragged for it.) That means the PT Cruiser has only a degree or two of stylistic separation from a Bentley, which might explain why the British ultra-luxury brand's wheel design fits so well on an otherwise tacky Chrysler.

Of course, that's just my rationalization; I may be full of it. Regardless of reason, it can't be denied that this is one of the best-looking Chrysler PT Cruisers out there. That may be a low bar, but that doesn't mean you can't clear it like a rocket leaving the atmosphere. It's like they say: Shoot for the moon, and you'll land among the stars.
