Added a remote start using factory key fob and 22" vossens.

Remote start required losing a key fob... I would click the lock button 3 times and remote start would run for 24 minutes and shut off.

Vossens are 5x120 from when I had my AWD LS600HL.

I used 15mm adapters that converted the wheel. The adapter is 66.56 hub centric to our hub and had a 72.6 built in hubcentric ring that fits perfectly for the vossen wheel.

Rims are flushed up front and slight tuck in the rear

Not everyone's taste I'm sure but I like it.

22x9 all around so that AWD is not messed with...

Just need alignment now

Let me know if there are any questions

Those are some big wheels. They look pretty good but I could not take the ride. A 45 sidewall is my limit...

Older style and discontinued wheels, but not bad if they are a true multi piece with a strong barrel. Hopefully you got a very good deal on them.

Ugly is a bit harsh but I like it... not everyones taste. Was looking for something nice but not too flashy. Better than the factory 19's in my opinion

Remote drone uae? What's all that do?

This was what was installed for factory remote start if anyone wanted to know

900 shipped with practically brand new tires... couldnt beat it especially for the AWD. It was nice to find a square setup... everything else was staggered

Might look a little cleaner with a little drop. I debated for months between 21s and 22s. Just don't think 22s would fare well on the north east roads.

Yeah I normally never put on wheels until I'm dropped but I guess this is what happens when you have left over wheels.

I live in S jersey? Wouldn't be able to help me with a drop would you? LoL

With 21's tire options are rough... not that 22's is that much better. Hopefully an inch drop all around once I buy the module to control the factory air would make it not ugly

sorry for the wheels i just dont like big flashy rims,

Compustar drone addon

plugs into the start it module and then you can remote start your car from your smartphone using thier app, I'm surprised the installer didn't mention that to you Its just really a plug and play

just Google compustar drone add-on youll know what I'm talking about

This is an old screen name, I am actually in upstate NY. The CETE controller is really nice with the ease of adjustability.
