Weird TRANNY Question

Had my tranny rebuilt almost 2 years ago. Works fine, but does anyone know why its so loud when shifting when it's NOT warmed up? Sounds like it's gonna blow just before it shifts. Temp sensor maybe?...

2001 E53 Angel Eye LED

Can't seem to find LED rings for a decent price. Seems like LED rings are hard to find and are $100+. Should I just go CCFL's? If so, what are a good brand. I found some on ebay for $55.

Oh really? Well they both a have a lip, but I think 20" might look too small with a lip?

I'm also wondering if the tires for 22" are too skinny, and will affect ride comfort.
