You can really see the rear fitment in this shot, and that is a lot of camber to make the 18×10.5 wheel fit in to the rear flared fender. Barely any tire contact patch is on the ground. – Work Meister S1 3 Piece on JDM Honda Inspire

SSR Professor MS1 on Toyota Celsior / Lexus LS400
The Toyota Celsior is the JDM version of US Spec Lexus LS400; a large luxury sedan with a silky smooth V8 power plant. That makes the Celsior/LS400 Duo a popular platform for great VIP builds. – SSR Professor MS1 on Toyota Celsior / Lexus LS400

The wheels are SSR Professor MS1, or more comonly SSR MS1 for short. Custom red faces are mated with stepped lips for a unique look. Black lug nuts and carbon fiber center caps are also nice touches. – SSR Professor MS1 on Toyota Celsior / Lexus LS400

The rear SSR MS1 wheels look huge, looks like quite a bit of work was done to get them to tuck in the wheel well like that. Rear roof wing and deck lid spoiler are subtle and nice. – SSR Professor MS1 on Toyota Celsior / Lexus LS400

Brabus Monoblock III on Lexus LS400
Brabus is a company known for producing top notch Mercedes Products, notably some really nice wheels. The Brabus
Monoblock III was and still is one of the nicest wheels produced by Brabus; they were and still are a wheel that is hard to get. – Brabus Monoblock III on Lexus LS400

This set of 20″ Monoblock III’s made their way on to this 1996 Lexus LS400, an unlikely combination. The wheels
had to be persuaded to fit on the LS by way of re-drilling and adding spacers . – Brabus Monoblock III on Lexus LS400

Friends Rides – Soaring Happi Lexus SC300 on Work VS-XX

Lexus SC300 Soarer on 19" Work VS-XX
In japan the SC300 as we know it is referred to as the “Soarer”. I’m guessing it means to soar, or fly, smoothly like a bird. This
Soarer is owned and built by my good friend Mistahappi. I’ve known MH for a while now and he is one smooth and happy guy
if I’ve ever met one. – Lexus SC300 Soarer on 19″ Work VS-XX
Lexus SC300 Soarer on 19" Work VS-XX
MH started out with a mint and rare 5 speed Lexus SC300. 5 speed SC300 are very hard to come by, I know he waited a while
to pounce on the right specimen. He soon after purchased a Auto Couture body kit, 19″ Work VS-XX wheels, and brought the
car down with a Universal Air, air bag system. – Lexus SC300 Soarer on 19″ Work VS-XX
Lexus SC300 Soarer on 19" Work VS-XX
Let me tell you, I have ridden in this car, it is smooth and it attracts attention. You might
think low profile tires and bags would provide a suspect ride, but like I said, this car is
smooth! This car may not have many mods, but it has the right combination of parts to
be daily driven, and to turn heads. – Lexus SC300 Soarer on 19″ Work VS-XX
