Hey please help

out here in far east in Singapore, malaysia

thinking of buying 18x8.5 rims for my LS400 94, I may get them shod here with ruibber too before exporting as rubber is really cheap here 245/45

I need offset measurement required....please

Seems that can get them real cheap here may be proximity to japan !!

Anyone help ??

Also HID headlamp conversion.....They have bulbs here and full conversion kit for US$400.

is it worth buying ??

got some bulbs front headlights US$40
fogs US$35

...the japanese imported ones is this a good deal ??

I need some help and comments re above and is it a good deal....or can I get cheaper in US ???


If anyone knows any good japanese brand names I should request or lookout for tell me....please...a friend here says that there are lots of cheaper imitations...re korean and malaysian and thai goods

Thanks again in advance to all that respond.....in next 12 hours would be helpful !!
cheers

Congrats on the Lexus.

Offsets on wheels for the LS400 would be 38-45 offsets.
On a 18x8.5 wheel, I would go with a offset of 42-45.
It is a 5 lug with 114.3 spacing.
On what wheels I would get on your Lexus, I would go with Racing Harts, Volks Racing, or Lowenharts (Manaray would have better selections, and pics).

H.I.D. lights are cool but in my opinion way too expensive for what they do.
It is mainly for looks.

A lot of people on this board will tell you NO on imitations, I will too.
Get the real thing since your so close to Japan and you can get it so much cheaper!
