This Streetoptions JZS161 VIP Toyota Aristo belongs to our customer, Lam.

This car was the first properly built UK VIP car. It has a set of wheels, ‘Luxury Abstract Mador’ (with the Black and Red custom finish). These wheels are the only set in Europe. Outside of the united states, there are only three sets, Lam owning one of them. The other two sets are in Japan. Now, this is the really interesting part… they are the only set in the world, in this exact specification. The specification meaning in terms of: the width, concavity, the offset and the colour / finish.
