I actually like the wheels. I would love to see some pics at normal ride height instead of slammed.

it's real, I talked to some Aristo owners in Japan and they said the "tsura" was insane.

I've seen this car with different wheels before. I actually like the M6 wheels a lot, but I'd never put it on my GS.

Interesting ... I did like the different styling .. sides and rear are nice .. front to but has alot going on

and I seen the missing lug too


I am sure he didn't change the hub just didn't install a lug for the shoot .. or maybe drives like that ?

People have been talking about Bmw wheels on a lex but today I get to see it ..

Props to him for being the first to do that in my book

I like the sides and rear aswell, the wheels are pretty cool, the front bumper looks weird but I bet if the chrome strip went all the way around the front not just he sides it would look much much bettrer.

Alright how does that front bumper look like a 'VW bumper' Having used to be very big in the US euro scene I have never seen a bumper that looks anything like that on a VW. Some Belgium cars have a little more wild styling going on but they are usually made fun of by the US VW scene for it. Looks like something outta japan to me. I can see it looking alright with a few tweaks to the lines of the bumper here and there.
