genetic - i cant see the pic cause i'm at work. but the point i was trying to make is that there are different approaches to VIP wheel fitment, it doesnt necessarily have to be any one extreme. i think the thing that lets that Excellent car down is its lack of flow more than any one thing in particular. its up to you if you dont want an extreme camber VIP Car, doesnt make that any less VIP than anything else.
to illustrate my point here ssome pics. these cars are all VIP styled and have different approaches to wheel fitment. they may not be the most awesome examples but theyre just whats on my work computer.

A vip car in every right mind, doesn't matter if it has lots of camber, doesn't matter if you are not using most of your tire. You gotta have the wheels fit right, your fenders gotta be clean, your car has got to be clean, and
You gotta be able to drive low. No need for that bag stuff blah blah blah
TO illustrate my point:
if you saw a car like that, would you call that vip?

haha okay so i couldnt see the pic but you're getting at how bippu's car isnt true vip and didnt have proper fitment cause his car couldnt get down low enough due to the wheel fitment. fair enough i guess.
i still dont rate this excellent car as overly VIP either. but it does some things very well, such as driving that low!

i dunno, VIP to me isn't ridin so low you're wipin your *** with the pavement or driving on your tires sidewalls. that thing's gotta get RAISED 2 inches.
i would prefer this one instead:

I like it. It's tunerish but still sport-luxury.
I don't think changing the bolt pattern to accomodate BMW wheels is a big deal. It's a Lexus. I don't agree with going through the trouble. There are plenty of choices of wheels that resemble the Breytons that actually fit a Lexus. Other than that it's cool.
