It's a new style called LUG CAR in Japan. Apparently, this is what they think the Americans like to style their cars after. Darn 2F2F, darn it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lookie, he's even got the West Coast Customs plate!!!











Amazing what Hollywood can do to impressionable young people on the other side of the world!

That burgandy looking GS looks good with the exception of the ugly a** wheels! Take off the wheels and he has a nice car.

It is funny how people int he states try to be JDM, and its the exact oposite for the folks on the other side of the world. If you look through the Hyper Rev, you see all of the Lexus emblems, door sills, etc..

I agree with ya. The car was HOTT, but those wheels really messed it up for me.

Um...didn't hear the term - but maybe saw the pics which put a puzzle in my head!

I was thinking - these are Japanese pics but- HEY JAPANESE FOLKS DON'T TO THE RAPPER THING??? Now you explained it!

Also I saw plenty of Japanese "lowrider" trucks club links browsing - with real chrome rims like in the one you pictured! Kinda strange!!! Here are the two gs ones a while ago which made me wonder......
