I think he means "real cars" are those that aren't hellaflush. So, a $300,000 Ferrari stops being a "real" car if it's slammed so hard with pulled fenders and low offset wheels to the point where it can't drive around a parking lot, let alone a racetrack.

Personally, I love a car that's low and has massive wide tires on it. But as soon as you're so low, so wide, or so "flush" that the handling starts to suffer, you're wasting your time and money. So, like Kevin said, if you're trying to go low (both height and offset) just for looks and ruin the handling of the car, might as well save your money and get Rotas and some cheap/shitty tires. No point in nice, light wheels if you can't really drive on them.
