There you go =)
Mounting them this weekend along with TMPS from winter tires. (what should I pay attention when doing the "transplant" of TPMS???)

 

Very nice! Those are one of my more favorite wheels. A little heavy, but the looks more than make up for that I think. =)

ca va etre beau dans les rues de mtl ca!!! je suis entrain de checker pour des mags aussi apres les avoir poser j'aimerais bien voir le fitment avec l aile comment ca arrive

 

OP those rims will look really good on WW

En anglais s'il vous plaît

 

go to a dealership, or online maybe, and order 4 of part number 4250B169. it is a kit that contains a new grommet/seal ring, valve core, valve stem cap, and sensor retaining nut. each kit contains only one of each, so, to repeat: you'll need a total of 4 kits. shouldnt cost much more than $30 u.s., i dont know how exactly that converts though, tbh

recommended every time you remove and re-install sensors. obviously not required, but good protection against possible leaks coming from the base of the stem (which is actually a semi-common problem with the sensor setup) or any other point of possible entry..

 

thanks for the info, 03chi-town0Z.
I will bring this part number with me when Im going to install, just in case the seal on my stock TPMS doesnt work anymore.

 

damn..! they are hellaflushhhhh!
(need a drop tho...)

just to let u all know, the TPMS didnt fit on the 5zigen, probably need some "custom gourmet"
the way the TPMS is made only has a TINY rubber ring inside and a flat washer

after the install, the valve was leaking..
then we replaced it with regular valve stems... lucky they didnt charge me extra...

I like

 

Still surprises me how our RAs at stock height can make 18s look like 15s. :P

The wheels look good though; will look even better with the car lowered a little bit!

I agree. have u seen how the MR makes the BBS's look small as hell? It trips me out everytime.

 

I think the design of the 5Zigen makes it looks small too .. but its ok.
When they are not "full-face" rims, they all look small..
Sometime i look at Volk GTS or SF Challenge @ 19in, the look smaller than other 19s
