We've got similar, but the chromed
We've also got rx330 wheels on our RX300, but we've got the chromed ones. Our valence is color-matched, too... makes for a nice combo (but I kind of like the matte finish wheels better than chrome).

That's funny, because we were looking for chrome, but these came up and they were 99% perfect so we jumped on them. I love the monochrome RX! There is another guy with a black RX that put the gunmetal (not my silver rims and not your chrome rims) RX330 rims on.

How is the (lowbeam) HID kit? Did you have to mangle/cut/modify the back of the headlight, gasket, etc?
Glare?
(Or, am I crazy and HID is stock? I don't own a RX300, the girlfriend does, and it doesn't have HID)

Very nicely done, we're looking to do something similar. Hope you don't mind. Do you have any sort of issues regarding clearance/turning radius? How do you/your wife like the Magnaflow muffler performance and sound?

depends what year RX she has. mine is a 2000 and it did not come with hids, thus i bought a kit and all that good stuff...

We haven't noticed any change in miles/tank or what the computer is telling us for mpg (still averaging about 21 combined). But given the size and probable weight increase I would have to assume it's gone down a little...just nothing drastic that is noticable.
