Update

Got the wheels on.

22" Replica Style 168 rims on Toyo Proxy S/T tires (285/35/22 front, 315/30/22 rear)

I got an amazing deal on the wheels, and I had a great deal on the tires until I was charged 470 dollars for canadian shipping and taxes.

I polished and waxed the ride today so I decided this would be a good time for pictures.

Thanks to all for helping me with questions so far.

Damn I love the 22" 168's! Just noticed in the last pic you are mising one of the exhaust trim rings, would clean up the back alot if you put some chrome tips maybe 4.8is style.

Yeah, that's the problem with snap in trim... at least they don't cost much.

Looks 'sweet as' with those 22" 169's, nice one. Agree with weasel re exhaust tips, can't go past 4.8is tips.

Thanks for the comments,

I am in the process of looking into how to make it so that only the AE's are lit. In canada we have those dull amber lights (5W one closest to the grille) and parking lamps that come on with the AE's.

I have read about using a "resistor" in place of the 5W bulbs to bypass error messages when a bulb is not present.

Where the heck do i get a resistor?
