Besides the Tail Lights, I love that Car !!!

It's a Honda with Vdub Flava. Boser Hood, Angle Eyes, Dual tips, Streched tires and staggered wheels.
Pretty fresh for a Honda IMO.

The wheels look just like stock Porsche's.... but 4 lug !?!? Hmmmmm?

I think you could best try your luck on the VW forums, they are usually used in that scene.

Or try your luck on ebay germany

Yup. And it's UNSAFE. Mounting a tire on wheels wider than those approved by the tire manufacturer builds up high levels of stress and heat in the sidewalls, which means an increased chance of blowouts. Some people get away with it because they're pushing their luck, but it's pretty stupid to take chances like that.
