I recently put on some weather visors and biggest mod of all so far 18" aftermarket (G2) rims with yokohamas. and a close up of the visors I got the rims from a place at peakhurst. CAR LINK AUTO. Where there is another photo of the car.

(awesome tyre). Its good to hear your not in a hurry. good luck.

Thanks for the heads up?!?!...............please brother...........you have had your HIDS installed for what, 3-4 years now J!! I understand that the Ballasts put some heat out, but please, the engine bay gets hot in general. (nah) HV electrical noise, perhaps (but unlikely in my opinion).....................HV arcing from the ballast, hmmm......unlikely. In a nut shell, doubt it. you're right, i've had them in for 3.5 years and no dramas but like dan said, its better to know than be clueless. i did however have a steering problem but lexus said it was a failure on the magnets or something and was NOT related to the hids at all. steering was not possessed in this case. more like a car without power steering but worse..... anyhow, lexus fixed it without any dramas and that was about 18 months ago. no dramas since. its electrical inductance. what happens is there is so much current running through the ballast it creates like an electrical magnetic field around it. . . in turn messes with all other electronic components near it. Can cause faults that are invisible to find.

wow, suddenly i feel like i've overpaid. lol..... toyo transpath (TASW) are a great tire. the asymetric pattern gives a nice quite ride. and nice and soft even for 18's i think they were about 200 - 220 (225/18). i cant remember but it was a while ago now so prices probably changed. awesome tyre. basically anything toyo is great. asymetrical and/or japanese also really helps.
