Default Best pics so far!

In the midst of figuring out what the problem is with my steering; mainly wiggles at high speed and groaning sound of my power steering, not to mention 1 of my wheel studs broke while I was removing the lock nut to clean the brakes, I was still able to drive to La Jolla Cove to show some relatives around SD. I'm gonna be heading to Lexus Escondido later on the day to finally get my car checked-up so I can find out which parts I need to get fixed and quit guessing. Enjoy! (Please no rude comments!)

Those wheels I believe are knock off's, it came with the car when I bought it a few months back, RPM's the brand; front 19x9, rear 19x10, I'm running front 235/35/19 and rear 245/35/19

It's already on lowering springs, can't really lower it too much since its a daily and its already rough on the ride, but will do once I get all the mechanical problems fixed. I believe its Midnight Indigo Pearl according to another member on here, But I'm slowly converting it to black beginning with the interior then the body once everything's done on the inside. I'm aiming for Crystal Black on the exterior, a color Honda released.

Wheel studs are easy to replace, vibrations is do to possible tires or no hub rings. The steering pump is low on oil or on it's way out, so consent or not, the dealer is going to rape you for these 3 very simple thing you can do on your own, or atlest take some else other than the dealer. Just saying!

I'm not gonna ask them to fix it, I'ma DIY guy all out, all I need them to do is a full diagnostic of the whole car so I can find out what parts I'm gonna need to fix. And I'm sure that the rack and pinion is already going out; there's leak on the boots, and the power steering fluid got empty a few days ago and there a little bit of sliding when making huge turns, I just wanna find out what else I need to replace when I change the rack and pinion since it's going down.

I feel the same, I just don't wanna offend people who paid $3500-$4500 for the branded ones with the same design or concept of my wheels. 'Cause some people become touchy when they pay too much and the next guy have the same design but paid half the price then people who don't know about it say its the same. You know what I'm saying?
