In the U.S. though, we only think rims that are 40" or bigger is baller

I'm tired of everyone going the same route. To me it looks cool, although I'd remove all the other chrome accents. The LS is so baller, it can pull out almost any style.

Ls is good to have different styles.

Just cause a car has big rims does NOT make it dub style gets tiring hearing peoples ignorance...

Everyone is too caught up in stereotypes
Conversely,In japanese [U.S style] is puttd on
[ASANTI]
[LEXANI]
[GIOVANNA]
[DIABLO]
RIMs is Popular style.
(As far as the JAPANESE U.S style)

are there many doing u.s. style in osaka compared to vip style? i was just in osaka in september and although i love to see all the vip celsiors i'm sure it would get really old quickly. my favorite is the old school lowrider american car clubs in kansai at night time.



when i used to live in okinawa i got very tired of seeing so many cheaply built skylines really fast, but in the u.s. they would go crazy for them.

Thanx for messege just now

In japan,especially in the Celsior,U.S custom is
very very very few.
Many of my celsior friends also customs VIP style.
(Please see the photo)

Conversely,U.S customed GS(ARISTO)&ACURA is
quite a lot.

I think in japan,Theres manymany VIP customed
celsior,I want to in order to differentiate style.(My opinion)

and,[US custom categories] is [u.s domestic parts]&
[big rims]is most popular and descriptive.

i can definitely appreciate wanting to be different and customize your car not to look like the 20 others in your same work or home parking area. a lot of my neighbors probably think my car is very ugly because it is so low, dark tint, and big lipped wheels that poke a little.

next time i live in japan i am considering doing an old school american low rider build just to be rare instead of doing another vip setup that is so so common. but in a perfect world i do both,, 1 for work and 1 for play
