OVERVIEW:
Highbeams was published by Paisano Publications and publisher Joe Teresi. It was a glossy,
male-oriented lifestyle magazine focused on tuners. Seven issues were printed with the Highbeams title, then it
was re-titled to HiBeamZ and continued for five more issues.
The full-sized print magazine followed the same formula Paisano Publications used for a sister title, Tailgate. It focused on young male readers and offered content on "cars, shows and buns". The early issues featured Fords, Chevrolets, Hondas, Pontiacs, Nissan and Mazda vehicles. And some point, the title pivoted to more tuner-lifestyle oriented features, with a cover heading emphasizing "tuners, tech, products, lifestyle, events and trends". This was represented by the name change to HiBeamZ.
