UGH. Those are downright nasty. Looks like this should be in the DUB forum.

the colored wheels? eh, sometimes dope, but i dont think any of these pics specifically come off that nicely. even the two tones i personally dont like that much either. too much contrast.

America already had that trend. 4-5 times in fact. They can enjoy this one for a year or 2 before everyone there hates it... just like it happened in the good ole US of A.

i quite like the LS second from the bottom, pretty sure thats the one that used to be white with green tint.

The bottom two are both 'black pearl' sponsored cars. i think theres just a few companies that started getting in to the coloured rims and lips to stand out (black pearl being one of them) and then they just tried to find a way to carry it over onto the bodywork. just trying to be eyecatching i guess :P

I don`t know if you call it a new trend... let me guess, was it from Osaka? or Fukuoka?
Not from Tokyo for sure
