That is a slick device. I've used it as well.

I have been told to be wary of aftermarket wheels a) becuase many come from China and b) because they have a universal hub diameter and can be hard to balance. I will have a look at Tire Rack!

I love the tirerack website, thanks. Now I have a CD stereo issue : error # 3, whatever that means......the radio works fine.

Welcome to the forum. I bought my rims/tires from Tirerack. They came mounted and balanced.

I have a few pics but cannot find the method to upload. Any pointers appreciated to a newbie.

there are a lot of non-china made aftermarket rims...it really depends on your price range. With 500-600 bucks you can have a set of some 06 SC430 wheels or even 2IS wheels (what I have on mine, and actually have a second set for sale). I would negotiate to try and get a little more but if not thats fair. Also are they all ruined? You might be able to replace one or two for cheap by getting them from ebay or something.

One mod I highly recommend is the LuxLink...luckily for you (unlike when I purchase mine) there are like two for sale in the classifieds. As far as the radio goes its not too hard to remove and plug a new one in...maybe try and get one from one of the many members that are starting to upgrade their head units while your add it hook up a Vais Tech SLU for 2 extra audio aux ports and your good to go.

First, congrats on your choice. I have a 2002 with 75K. My first concern was the stereo.

The woofers in the door were obviously blown and after looking and discussing with quite a few forum members I opted to have mine rebuilt. Pretty inexpensive and WOW, did it make a difference.

I also wanted Sirius radio and I believe that VAIS is the only real option unless you want to swap out the whole system. I'm having those installed this afternoon.

There are more expensive ways to go...oh boy are there! But for my wallet, the above made sense.

Good luck,

Mike
