Great photos, Paul. Was wondering how towbar ("hitch" here) was attached. Was it bolted to frame rails? Did hitch's "ears" replace heat shields above mufflers? I ask becauase of studying Curt Mfg (USA) hitch installation instructions....
No idea mate, was installed by the dealer (official Suzuki towbar).

The tyres are Nexen N6000's (245/35 r20) and the rims are Advanti Desires. Total package (4x wheels and tyres) was $1850 AUD. I bought them from Stylish Wheels at Slacks Creek (http://www.stylishwheels.com.au/).
Wow that's not too expensive actually!

I was thinking of getting aftermarket wheels for my Kizashi as well, was thinking of Advanti Almera.

However when I called up Suzuki and ask, the OEM wheels costs AUS $805 each, installing new wheels (i.e. swapping expensive wheels with cheaper wheels) seems foolish on paper?

OEM parts are always dearer. You can buy aftermarket wheels that are at least as good quality wise for a lot less eg. Enkei, OZ Racing etc.
