Back then, I was tinkering with my Trabant\u2014an East German icon that already had plenty of character, but I wanted to make it stand out even more. I got obsessed with the wheels, giving those standard steel rims some extra flair with widened lips. Turns out, those wheels caught more attention than I anticipated! Before I knew it, I was getting calls for custom orders. At some point, I realized most modded Trabants cruising around Germany were rocking my wheels. That was <br>a pretty surreal moment for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-scaled-350x234.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-41-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">photo by Micha\u0142 Szczepan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As time went on, I pushed myself to get more creative. I wanted my work to go beyond functional modifications. Something that really felt like wearable art for cars. So, I focused on classics. Those timeless beauties that truly deserve unique touches. Over the past years, my little workshop evolved into something much bigger, with more people knocking on my door for custom wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-scaled-350x234.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-26-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">photo by Micha\u0142 Szczepan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, I\u2019ve got my sights set on the future. I\u2019m still all about giving classic cars a second life, but I\u2019ve also caught the Japanese car bug. My latest project &#8211; a rare Nissan PS13 &#8211; is proof that my passion isn\u2019t slowing down anytime soon. I\u2019d love to explore more in that direction while staying true to my roots in old-school craftsmanship. For me, it\u2019s not just about making wheels; it\u2019s about telling a story with every single project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-scaled-350x234.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gedeichselt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Marcin-31-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">photo by Micha\u0142 Szczepan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It all started over a decade ago in my tiny garage at home.
