I applaud the person who did this for being creative and not a follower. Respect!

Not sure if you are serious, but you do realize there is an entire movement of people who do this to their poor cars right? It is big down south. Not that unique, and defeats any reason on earth to buy a Lexus.

Personally I don't find adding the biggest wheels possible to be that creative. It shows no class. IMHO

Oh I know people do this, but I haven't seen it on a GS until now. Exactly, no one would ever want to do this to a Lexus GS because of the negative stereotype, but he still did it. I always acknowledge people who go with a decision that no one else would go through with, even if these wheels are hideous on this car.

You must be blind to the fact that this is in Japan. That happens all the time, I agree, but this is in a country where those wheels cost in the upwards of $10-15k+ for the set alone, tires are a whole other story.

Over there they have different goals than we do over here. It's funny, but we follow in their trend and they actually follow in ours.
