Looks very nice personally, not sure I'll spend that $$ on a minivan though . . .

I wont say its a 'real' minivan... i usually think of minivans with sliding rear doors.

This is the japan/asia odessey, and it sits low to get ground, much lower than mivans.
You wont get the big headspace like a minivan... I would say this particular car is more like a station-wagon or a crossover, something like Pacifica or the Mercedes R-class.

Btw, this is the Elysion, which is Honda's real minivan.

Mini-van with dropped and wheels are pretty common in Asia now, I think its a trend over there.
My dad has a Astima with wheels, we are going to drop it, get some BBS, and Blitz charger probably next

yeah very true.

if i get my van, i might lower it a bit with wheels as well well, wishful thinking

not like i will put exhaust or charger though, that's kinda like a waste. after all we have to look at the main purpose of the car

Definitely hot. But I wouldn't spend to make a van look like that.

It looks pretty good, but I am pretty sure it is due entirely to the Work wheels

People over in Japan have tuned some Toyota vans too in a similar fashion.

Those wheels belong on a real car with power, not on a minivan.

Hey -- that's pretty sweet! Maybe if minivans in the U.S. looked that good from the factory, guys wouldn't be buying Escalades to try to look cool while hauling the family around. Seems like a better alternative to me.

well that's just your perception right?

to me, the wheels belong to a car that looks good and make it looks even better

Of course, we're all being subjective here. I am more performance-oriented and less on looks.
