If you have some sort of fake wheels, that's fine by me.

If you have some sort of fake wheels with stickers/badging/logos from the real wheels on them? Not cool.

I agree. Pointless thread. There's not even a pic of this "knock off 350"

This reminds me of the Mercedes C and the BMW with the 3/5XX logo stripped off.
They don't want people to tell that they're a wanna be driving an entry C2XX cars...

At the end of the day. Its still a lexus. Sure he's faking the funk but its still in the same breed. As long as he's happy right? I personally would debadge everything but the lexus symbol 250 or 350 Haha Can't beat a 7 series rocking a nismo plate =)

Now that I see this thread I should have took a picture of the Toyota solara debadged and a Lexus logo placed on the front and back where the Toyota emblem was. It sort of looked like an ES coupe, if there were such a thing.
