Whereabouts are they?

I'm in Korea at the moment and the amount of VIP styled cars around here is nuts. Everything from old school SM5's (Nissan Maxima), Genesis sedans, Lexus, BMW's, Mercs etc all modded pretty tastefully and some of the cars are sitting flush and super low, considering the roads here you need an SUV to get around (where we're staying anyway).

I still remember seeing a shop where they were rolling out a Zonda in Cheongyan-ri (sp?) in Seoul. Tons of wheel stores around here to with what looks to be authentic wheels (a LOT of Weds Bazreias, Auto Couture etc). I know there's an official Junction Produce outlet somewhere in Seoul as well, hoping to visit there before I leave. When it comes to big money items they seem to be pretty honest. A lot of people seem to have a thing for 'premium' goods over here and have an expectations of high quality.

I'm staying in the lower Gyeonngi-do area. My wifey (she's Korean so no translation issues there) said I can do a little bit of wheel window shopping so if it's anywhere close to here I can go around and have a look.

Heh sure. I just figured if you're walking around the city and see a nice car, you could take a picture for us.
