New Wheels!

[jinthadell]

Just picked up a set of barely used Niche Essen’s on
Michelin Pilot Super Sport K3’s for $800. The tires still have nipples on them. DOT date codes are all from first qtr of ‘23.

20x9 et35
245/35 front
20x10 et40
275/30 rear

I have never been so on the fence about changing wheels. I love my TSW Sebrings.

all you can do, since you succumbed to temptation, is put them on and see the differences. then go with the ones you like the best and sell the others, or keep them both. ah first world issues.

Yessir truly first world issues. Lmao. Just went ahead and put them on last night. Was hoping they had TPMS sensors in them, but no luck. Dash light came on. Anyone have any recommendations on where to get reliable sensors that work? Besides the stealership!

around here the tire and wheel shop that I use install some German-made TPMS sensors. can't dredge up the names. I've had two different brands put in my aftermarket wheels over the years. and they have had issues anyway. just expect to get replacements within five years for one or even two of them. heh. interestingly, the OEM sensors are over six years old and I haven't had to replace one yet. so that is possibly the best way to go?

those wheels look really sharp. hope the ride quality suits your aesthetics.

Thanks. They’re starting to grow on me. I know from past vehicles being lowered, rims, etc. that I won’t ever have that factory ride back. So I don’t ever expect much. But w the suspension set to comfort, it’s really not bad. I’ll prob just order the oem tpms sensors from amazon. Cant really beat $100 for 4.

Get the OEM TPMS sensors. I've bought 5 sets of them so far. 1st couple of sets from ebay and the rest from Amazon. Last set: Amazon.com I paid $92+tax, but prices do fluctuate some.
