ok ordered a sample wheel...does it pass muster?

Post by **GryStrm** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 2:45 pm

i got this wheel when i found out the ones i wanted didnt take the sensors...but heres the weird thig...i mounted the wheel which has an aftermarket sensor installed..not calibrated to the nissan reciever....and i got NO TPMS ERROR!!! i would have thought for sure it would have set off but it didn't....so please...look and comment if u so desire...all comments will help me decide! thanks so much guys...this is the j10 from enkei..wrapped in falken 452's...the lip is machined...and the spokes are painted silver...very very close to the color of the precision grey!

you have to be moving or something to trip the TPMS. Otherwise every time you turn on your car, at a garage with it on the lift or something, and one of the tires removed, your computer would throw and store a TPMS light and you would have to get it reset by Nissan

It would be really sweet if you had a different rim on each corner.

Lol, I've seen a car with one set of rims on one side... and a different set of rims on the other side.

Glad you found what you were lookin for... did you haggle with him on the price?

Post by **GryStrm** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 1:53 pm

Nope....certain things i don't haggle. they were the least expensive all around and the guy on the other end of the phone was soooo helpful it was well worth what i paid!...

If you used their CarCareONE card the link I posted will take you to a MIR form that will get you another $100 off of your order.

awwesome looking out...alas the offer died on the 31st of march i bought em this week...

Post by **LongBeachCoupe** » Thu May 01, 2008 5:50 am

well 100 off is better than nothin!

No Haggling? What about tossing in a set of free lugs... somethin!

Also, its unfortunate that we arent accustomed to getting great customer service... Stillen has set a high bar... and it looks like the wheel seller is helpful too...

Dont get this confused with doing something EXTRA... they are SUPPOSED to be helpful! And haggling doesnt have to be harsh ($100 off or im leaving)... a simple "can you do any better on the package" will do fine most times...

end result your happy... priceless!

This is the one I meant to post. It doesn't look like it covers DTD but you can still give it a try. The wording is kind of vague as it says tire and rim package purchased "with Discount Tire credit card" not at Discount Tire so you can use this to your advantage. Same offer # and same claim center as the DTD MIR I posted earlier. The worst they can do is reject it.
