Got my new wheels mounted yesterday.
Tenzo Cuzco V1 18X8 +37 Titanium Charcoal
Nankang NSII 225/40/18
Bulldog Black Spline Lugs

They look great! Very clean look to them.
I know I have a big gap, I will be getting the Eibach or the Tein springs.
Here are a few pics:

Got the Wheels for elementwheels.com
Robert helped me out, got me a good deal, Ordered them Monday and installed by Thursday. Quick!

Now to deal with the TPMS. Found some good ideas on how to fix without spending more than $20. Todays project, I'll keep u posted

The black looks nice with the blue! Did not realize the spokes stuck out like that, definitely can not tell that from the picture original picture. =)

u need a drop!!!!!!! lol, but the wheels r sick!

Yea they stick out a little more than I would like. But I can live with it. Love how they look. Drop soon! May not be able to hold out for the rest of the day. Have to pick out which springs, Eibach or Tein???? And got plenty of room on the AMX!

Yeah they still look good. And you can't really see that they stick out from straight on, and when you're moving you won't see it either. =)

Made a little canister to hold my TPMS in under pressure so I don't have the warning light. Still gotta pressure test it and get it air tight, but that will have to wait till wed for my next day off. Then gonna paint it with Plasti-dip and find a snug place for it in the spare tire well.

im afraid to tell you that this method was proven no good..

gccruz

Yea! that will be in a few weeks. I blacked out the headlights and plasti-dipped the gas lid.

gccruz

yea i figured that out $25 later

can you try to fit them on ur aftermarket wheel?
The valve stem holes were a lil too big for the TPMS on my wheels... i think ill need to look for some "custom" rubber O-ring to seat them.

I'm pretty sure you guys are building the TPMS canisters wrong. You need the valve stems of the sensors to be outside of the canister, like this:

Once i get some more cash to throw away i'll try that one. should only be like $15.

The TPMS will fit in my wheels but i didn't want to move them back and forth between the two. And they do sell bigger O-rings/gaskets.

+1. that's what i've been figuring. all 4 sensors may need to see a pressure differential at the valve core for them to operate properly, that may be the problem with the original tpms cheater design. that or they may need their own separate canister for each one, mounted somewhere near each of the wheels. that would be more of a plan-b situation if necessary tho.

the one thing i have learned tho, changing sensors and reprogramming them at the shop, is that sometimes they say it is recommended to spin the tire a bit as you are attempting to register the sensor since the position displacement may have something to do with signal response. dont know until you try i guess.
