Angel, take your pics over, on the sunny side, not in shadow! And get closer too. Those look a lot like mine, from what I can see.

Polling for opinions...thinking of this or something aesthetically similar for my white GT1... nominally winter wheels, but perhaps leaving on for summer if I like them. Or just black. Got several months to decide.

That's a good looking wheel. If you like it, do it

Nice, ditto it only matters what you think.

Red interior? Because the red accents will definitely compliment the whole car more if you do have a red interior. Otherwise, go with solid black rims.

Indeed, and I do not have a red interior.

Problem is a slight fixation on red on my part...witness the gratuitous usage of red silicone for a couple of the hoses connecting my intakes. That may creep to other areas of the engine bay. Could do some blue hoses too, maybe some wire loom. The Team USA vibe.

Avoiding solid red wheels because I don't want to be Santa's Stinger. Too much work getting reindeer bits out of the grill.

Red pin stripes like Morky's Stinger might look good later.

Nice what @Morky did with the hood "vents". Definitely been thinking about what to do with those eyesores.

 

[Shrikecorp]

Ahh...these!

But I digress, this is a wheel thread. I'll toddle back off to Crazyland now.

The owner has to bear those wheels?

Do you have red Nappa leather seats ? it may look awesome if you did or have red somewhere on the car. Sorry just read some more posts... you don't have red interior, hmm, maybe better black

Glad he does, coz their pretty hard to bear, wouldn't want to get curb rash or they'll be " stuffed "

all of us dream of
a teddy bear wheeled Stinger
but...discontinued

But seriously folks...anyone used this company? Their online tools for fitment are pretty awesome. Selection from inexpensive to brutally expensive.

Well, the TPMS is inside the wheel...so I'm not sure I understand your question.

The TPMS sensor and valve stem are an assembly:


Is the valve stem in your picture the stem from the TPMS sensor, was the TPMS sensor stem modified, or something else.

Thanks for your help!!!

Hi @ProsperDad please see my post which may answer your question:
**Short valve stems are required for wheels with valve in the inner part of the wheel

Hi @ProsperDad please see my post which may answer your question:

This is fantastic....thank you!!!!

Hi @ProsperDad please see my post which may answer your question:

So visited with my local Discount Tire today to see if they could get the Verde Axis less expensive than I could online (they couldn't, so ordered online).

I'm going to have them do the mount & balance when I receive the wheels and showed them the pic of the TPMS adapters. They've used those and like them, but also suggested another method; bands. Basically a giant hose clamp with a bracket that holds the TPMS, allowing them to use a stubby rubber valve stem.



They're charging me $18/wheel for swapping my tires over, bands & brackets, balancing, etc.

Wheels are backordered, so won't arrive until around May 17 or so.

Thanks @Clearly Canadian for all of your help!

Interesting. I wonder if my wheel shop attached it like that.

Anyway, not an expert but happy to help!
