New Car and Rims

[Mr. Dexter]

Thanks Irving, and Aphu, I literally cannot find 'BADA bing' LED's anywhere! Could you tell me what size I need and then I can work from there? I really love the idea of LED's everywhere in the car especially license plate and the ones that shine on the ground when you open the door (:

[Irvxing]

I had to buy the kit. Got it off ebay and did a wire tap to power them. Got the inserts from the dealer. Hes doing the same. Search on here to find the bulb sizes. That's what I did. I have all my lights swappped out. Bought online though lol ebay. Itlll become your best friend.

DONT BUY LIGHTS OFF EBAY....the cost difference in so minimal compared to the ones on Oznium...just go on there to buy all your lights, i think thats something the OG members can attest to

He is right, eBay sellers are hit and miss on quality. You got lucky and didnt have any problems. Better to pay a bit extra for a quality product from someone who will stand behind it.

[Mr. Dexter]

On oznium, I cant find any of the Fog lights ): I'd like some white/blue fogs. Some LED's perhaps?

[coupecrazy1232]

if you want functional then search on here for what us 2.5ers did...i never had them but there are a few people who custom fit projector fogs in there rather then buying the OEM ones for an arm and a leg

[aphu]

the bada bing leds should be at home depot. and i forgot all of the sizes but its all worth it. when i open my door theres so much light.

[DiamondWVU]

Those rims are nice. I had eibach springs for almost 2 years. Then I got bored and decided to go lower with d2 coils. Learn from other peoples mistakes and go with coilovers the first time. Front lip, tint, tinted tails, and c-mod grill would look good too. For interior LEDs I went to v-leds.com. Either that or superbrightleds.com.

[Mr. Dexter]

Coils will have to come later then because theyre just a little too far out of the price range atm. Going to get HID's, LED's, then gtr eyelids (bluebats), and tint the windows

Tints first dude, I got mine the 2nd day I got the car from the dealer. then taillights. They make the car and u already got rims so you're good.

[SanoSuKe]

They installed the tpms on my new rims when I took them for 10 bucks a wheel.

Who did? cuz I went to nissan dealership they asked for $800 for the sensors kit. They said my rims were too big for the stock ones.

[ShadowAC]

go to a local place that does tires, they are usually the only place that won't try to rob you in broad daylight... the tpms will fit on any rim, i got mine put on, mounted, and all the goods for like $50 at a local shop in cali

[aphu]

I went to discount tire. $10 a wheel

[rcboy514]

What size are your wheels? I'm running 19"s and the stock TPMS sensors fit fine, no issues.

[Mr. Dexter]

What exactly do I ask for? the tire guy said all I could do was buy different size TPMS sensors and that apparently costs around $800

and they should fit your new size rims no prob. I'm running the stock sensors on my 19s. Go to a local knowledgeable shop and they should be able to do it at a small price.

20"s do you think I can find them online?

[Mr. Dexter]

Screw it, im putting the tpms in bike tires and putting them with the spare. Dont care, just as long as that light isnt there anymore haha

[DJ_B_Easy]

Not sure if serious, but that wont work. They have to read approximately 32 PSI in order for the light to go off and register proper pressure. I believe the spare is somewhere around 50 and I doubt a bike tire is equal to 32.

[Mr. Dexter]

DJ, you can pump a tire up to any PSI you want bro. Im just pumping up 4 bike tires, sticking the sensors on and tossing them in the space with the spare

[SanoSuKe]

How'd you fix that issue DJ? since you're in NJ I might go to w/e shop you went to, to get it fixed. The wheels right now are 20" and the TPMS warning is on.

[DJ_B_Easy]

I have no idea what the pressure is supposed to be in a bike tire, but if its much less than 32 PSI then you are gong to be loading your trunk with over inflated grenades. If its a lot more than 32 PSI, dropping it to that level may prevent the tire from forming a seal to the rim and you will lose all pressure. If you want to eliminate all your trunk space and add weight to your car with 4 bike tires that may or may not be at risk of exploding at any time, go for it. Your car, not mine. I guess I should mention that I doubt you will be able to do this anyway. Sensors go inside the wheel and tire and they are not small. They might not even fit a bike wheel. Not to mention bike wheels use tubes? Unless Im missing something here? Again Im not sure if you are even serious about doing this but Id personally think up another route.

I didnt fix it, I dont have sensors in my summer wheels. I ride with the TPMS light on in the dash when I have my summer wheels on. Takes a while, but you get used to it.

[rcboy514]

the stock TPMS will 100% fit in your 18s. All you do is tell them to switch the stock TPMS sensors from your old wheels to the new ones. It shouldn't even be questioned, and they are just trying to rip you off by telling you it cost $800. You can buy a brand new set of TPMS sensors for $100.

lmao ingenious

[SanoSuKe]

sigh..I hate that stupid thing. I will take it to a tire shop and see if I can get it fixed one last time.

[beeristasty]

Good luck. 32 PSI is safe for any bike wheel (as long as you're not riding on them with normal tubes and tires). But this option is more expensive...

Option 1: Sticking the TMPS in a bike tire will require a tubeless rim and tubeless tire for each. But then the valve interface will likely not be compatible.

Option 2: Standard bike wheels require a tube, tire and rim. You may not easily be able to cut open a tube, remove the valve, and re-seal it around the tpms. But here's the pain in the a** part: tubes will expand without the tire holding it to a certain static volume. Pressure added will cause the volume to increase, effectively decreasing pressure as you pump. So you'll need a rim and tire for each as well (unless you want 4 gigantic exploding surprises taking up your trunk space), and the valve/rim inteface will likely not seat all that well, if at all.

4 tubeless rims and tires will set you back roughly $500. Standard rims, tires and tubes and glue will set you back rougly $100-175 for the parts unless you already have them.

Or, you could either pay to swap the sensors in or just live with the light on.
