Looks big and considering it is at parking height...the ride height would probably look almost Donk style for clearance. Other words...not feeling it.

I am curious to know how this car would look form the side speeding down the highway at night. Assuming the black tire and rim aren't really visible, it would like like the car is riding on that jagged chrome strip? That could be cool looking. In any case, I comment you for having the b$%lls to do things your way and not just settle for being another style lemming.

but his engrish is so damn good though

i was walking down a street one day lost in japan trying to find a business location from an address & poor directions,, in some childish simpleton japanese i was able to ask this business man walking by if he could help me. in perfect english with perfect enunciation he said back to me "i must apologize, for i do not speak any english at all",, i was like what the?? now whenever anyone tries to sell me anything while walking down a street or in the mall i reply in the same manner you gotta love their facial expressions after hearing this.

but i digress, the ls430 pictured on page 1 with the 22's is still ugly and nothing can change that
