Default Larger Wheels

Hello all,

I'm considering getting larger wheels for my RX.
Here is the link to what I'm thinking about getting:

http://www.rodmillenstore.com/rx_300/tgf.htm

the tire/wheel package with spacers cost $2125

I was wondering if I could get some opinions on a few things.

1) If I get tire/wheel packages, do they usually come balanced already or am I asking a non-logical question?

2) Since it is advertised that the wheels are 18 x 8, do I need to get the speedometer adjusted to compensate for it or will it not matter too much since I'll just be driving a little slower than I think?

3) Is the price and quality of these wheels comperable to others?

4) Anything else I need to consider before purchasing these wheels or any wheels for that matter?

Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm just considering the safety issues with

Thanks,

Goncookoo

I put 17x8 Wheels on my 2001 AWD RX300 and spacers on all four wheels, not just the rears. Lower profile tires and there iis no speedo correction required.


Warranty?

Are you willing to stand in the middle of the showroom floor and argue the point?
