TPMS sensors mounted?
I know this is most likely a stupid question but If i order a package deal from you guys and add the TPMS sensor kit do you guys install them when you mount the tires ?

Yes we do. That is also an option we offer for free. I recommend you call or PM us before placing an order. Usually we can do a better price for you than quoted online. And it isn't a stupid question since most places actually charge to mount the sensors, which can be difficult depending on your year. The 2007-2009 cars used a sensor that was essentially held on with a large hose clamp. In order to mount it the band has to be cut to length, then you must slide the sensor on, then stick the sensor on the wheel in the appropriate area using double sided tape. After that is complete you must tighten the band to spec and then carefully mount the tire to prevent damage. Now, on the 2010 cars it is a little easier. They are valve stem mounted systems that are installed just like a valve stem. They are a little more delicate so mounting the tires can be tricky but are over all easier.

Well John I ordered from Chad down at mustang week. Got to thinking about a few questions.
Who do you guys ship threw and because my invoice says it freight will they call before delivery to were I can make sure I will be home.
On the TPMS sensors.. Does the Sensor reset tool come with the kit? just wanted to check before I go ahead and order from the dealer.

What your seeing at the top of the invoice is for truck freight items. You don't have to abide by the truck freight rules as these will be shipping through UPS ground and insured for their full value if its wheels and tires.
As for a TPMS tool IMO its better to simply cruise by your dealership. Ford for example has a very high end machine which essentially scans for the sensor which makes it more reliable and cheaper than buying a tool. Once you have your wheels installed they can be calibrated them in about 3 minutes or less!

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I tried to PM you and there was no option for it.
Do you still offer the free TPMS setup?
I'm interested in the 20" chrome saleen style staggered package.
I know I'm new here, but I just found this website. What kind of special forum pricing is there?

Actually, while the installation is free, the TPMS system itself isn't. We do offer it at a discount with a WTP so you aren't bothered with having to have someone else mount the tires and install the sensors. Anything else, just let me know.
