Seriously do you think California does EVERYTHING that they do in Japan?
You've got to be kidding me, I can promise you that the low offset look isn't very big in Japan, wanna know why? Because they actually USE their cars for the track.
They don't hard park everywhere like we do here in the states.

IMHO (and thats all any of us can really say):
Comsetic enhancement that is not tacky/ overdone and does not hurt performance = Cool
Performance enhancement = Cool
Doing both on the same car = Cool
non-tacky cosmetic enhancement that hurts performance on a economy or luxury car = Cool
Cosmetic enhancement that hurts performance on a sports car = Fail
So, with this in mind, a small stretch on low offset wheels that poke put a little but not overdone on a luxury car such as a lexus, is cool (emphasis not overdone) i.e small poke with 245's on a 9 or maybe 9.5 in wheel is cool... huge poke huge camber and 215's on a 9in wheel is RICE
Also any sort of hellaflush look on an S, or any other sports car is just RICE... if all you want to do is look pretty don't buy a sports car, you can look pretty and be way more comfortable in a lexus, or MB, or something like that
So i guess my real answer is "it depends"
