Nice, good choice man.

Maybe I'm seeing things... but are those your tire pressure sensors? If so, you lucked out that they fit. They didn't fit my rims and now I gotta deal with the stupid orange light.

Also, is that gun metal or hyper black? What finish are the rims?

Yeah, I wasn't expecting the TPMS to be a separate valve stem. I'm actually not sure which one I'm suppose to use to fill the tires up They called the Hyper Black, which I always thought was a little darker. But I did start having TPMS errors by the time I got to work; blinking for about 1 minute then staying on. I was thinking that maybe the hot pressure was too high, I was sitting a little over 38 hot. So I dropped them to about 36 hot, but I haven't had the chance to drive it since getting to work. Not sure if the TPMS triggers for too high of a temp, but I figured it was worth a try.

Why wait, I put the Injen intake in last weekend, did my 500 mile oil and filter change (same way I break my bikes in), have the Stillen trunk wing and a replacement (and hopefully correct this time) Stillen roof wing on the way; hopefully get them painted and on next week. Then late next month after I move back to SoCal I'll get the Stilling bumper and grill, I'm not willing to pay $120 for the shipping. And when Borla releses the exhaust, that will be it for a while.

$510 a piece, if Tire Rack didn't have the Bill-me-later financing, I wouldn't have done it right now. The quality is a hell of a lot better then my Enkie RSV's I had on my SVT Focus.

$510 a piece Man,..you're what they call a BIG BALLER!!!! What's the percentage on the finance charges? It's bad enough paying over $2k for wheels/tires but even worst when you're paying interest on the whole amt. But that's just my opinion.

Those do look realllly nice man, with the gunmetal finish match. I got the same tire size, be prepared to watch your gas mileage go down a bit

They'll be paid off before the finance charge bothers me, 2 months max.

I just talked to Tire Rack about my TPMS, they said that the dealer has to reset them to recognize the new sensors. I also did some quick searching here and found some stuff on the Versa and G35 sights about re-registering the sensors.

Anyone know if an average home mechanic can do this, or does the dealer have to connect the car to a computer to do it?

500 a wheel... plus 19" rubbers... damn.. thats an expensive mod... If you are spending that much on wheels, who cares about the "bill me later"... you should be ballin (ahem ahem, like me!)... i just cant see spending that much on wheels... they do look nice though! You wont be able to drop it though... i thought 19"s with a 1" drop would be the sweet spot of looks...

I talked to the dealer and a few shops today. Everyone says that only the dealer can do this... Dealer says it will cost $140 re-register the new sensors. My guess, if you can get the rims and tires unmounted, install the original sensors, you probably won't have this problem. But if they are new sensors, which mine are, then the have to get registered to the car.

Seems to me that this can't be much more difficult then setting up your bluethooth phone, put the car in search mode until it picks up all 4 sensors; I can't imagine how that'll cost $140 though! I'll get it done by the end of the week...

I transfered my old TPMS into my new aftermarket wheels and I have had no problem with the warning light going on. They were done at America Tires. All they did was put in a rebuild kit for $20. So it seems like your correct about transferring the old ones
