Volk Progressiv ME knock off wheels.
It's made by some British company called prodrive?
it even stamped "forged" so its probably some forgery imitation of the real Vorks.

^^ I wouldn't call those knock-offs. Prodrive has been around for a long time and make great racing quality wheels... They had [have?] a japanese branch too.

That's my car.. I have Work's now, anyone want to buy these te's in this pic they are just laying around taking up space. They are 18's with 95% tread tires..

I know you weren't talking about my car, hahaha as the offset on the te's in my pic above = weak...

But yeah the couple other cars pics with them look pretty nice, the TE is just such a clean simple wheel.

They are telescopic parking guides and are oem. They are on the front and rear bumpers of the passenger sides (of a rhd) furthest from the drivers view. Parking is so tight in some areas of japan that these are used to help judge distance. Same concept as the chrome pole on the front corners of a 18-wheelers that usually have a small amber light on top, so they know how close the bumper is to other objects when turning..

Theres a Onyx GS300 on this forum that has hyper black BBS LM replicas with. I don't know what thread I saw it in but I haven't been able to find it since. Anyone have a pic of this car, or a similar one?

It's nothing special but I polished my old g35 rims and threw them on. It is lower now. I figured this thread was more fitting than anything else
