I am looking for a set of stock S type R wheels that are in good condition and no curb rash that would fit my 03. No tires needed but if the price is right i would consider it.
I am also looking to put a stock OEM Navigation UNIT into my 03 type R. Other than the head unit what other components would i need? I know that there are a couple pig tail wiring harness's i would need plus if i am not mistaken it will completely change my HVAC controls as well. Any one ever do this upgrade or have the gear?
Thanks.
Cheers

George's way is gonna save you alot of money and headaches. Since you dont have factory Nav this way is a whole lot easier since your A/C is already seperate. I'm not into sound systems like I used to be but if I still was I would of got one without factory Nav after all the stories I've heard of how almost impossible it is to add an aftermarket head unit in a Nav equipped S type.

As far a non-nav car, You can get a LOT better sound / features / accurate navigation etc... for less than the cost of the factory setup. Just not worth it.
Take care,

Exactly he would get the factory Nav and realize that its not all that then have to go back to what he had originally. I agree he should just do like you did.

I've been meaning to write an aftermarket audio "Bible" Type document - I have most of it in bits and pieces all over this site. I get a ton of PM's as well.
My head unit is 3+ years old. You can get much better now, I just haven't bothered to update it.
Btw, does your car have the alpine stereo? It should. If so you're going to have to swap head unit and at least a 4ch amp as well. You can't use the factory amp w/ an aftermarket head unit, but it's no big deal. I've even sourced the connectors to plug into the amp harness so you don't have to cut anything...
Take care,
George

Since making rims is such a simple process, using basically the same materials and design process, the generic rims are often impossible to tell apart from the big brand name rims. The only real difference is the price you'll pay. And as you can imagine, you're paying for the name more than anything most of the time.
Take alloy wheels for example. An alloy is a mix of two metals (aluminum and magnesium) that creates a lightweight, strong rim with a high-gloss finish. Alloy rims are often plated in gold, silver or chrome, and virtually any company makes them. So the rims you're shopping for $1,000 are always going to be available for $600 somewhere else. It's the nature of the competitive business.
You just have to realize that you're not losing any quality by going with replica wheels. Remember, replica just means the brand name, not the material the rims are made of or even the process used to make them. In fact, if you're in the market for a replacement set of rims, you could even take it one step further and purchase some used rims.
