Wow, didn't even swap the centercaps. He must have drilled the wheels, the lug pattern is different.

There are so many choices of wheels, why put BMW wheels on your Lexus?

yeh there is also the Instant Gentleman S15 etc that has BMW wheels.

as stated they are 5x120 not 5x114.3. Judging from the aggression of the fitment both on the S15 i spoke of and also on the B-Spark car, i would assume they have fitted spacers that are a different stud patten. e.g. say 15mm Bolt on spacers which are 5x114.3 to bolt on to your studs, then have 5x120 spaced studs coming out of them. This pushes the wheels out to a more aggressive fitment and also allows you to fit them
