Default If I buy these wheels?

If I buy these wheels/tires do I need to worry about the TPMS? Anyone have these tires?

Thanks.

holy cow those are blue..

I would assume you'd have to re-mount your TPMS in any tires you change out (if you want it to work that is)

WOAH!
I think Meanstang might be correct.

I must say I am NOT digging EITHER of those wheels man.
But please... for the love of Mustangs... DO NOT GET THE BLUE ONES.
Really.. what ARE YOU THINKING?

They look like they would go on a riced out spray painted and slammed Honda civic.
No offense intended but DAYUM man.

That color reminds me of the little girl on "***** Wonka and The Chocolate Factory" that ends up blowing up like a blueberry.
The color matches perfectly.

I actually laughed when I read this. Oompa, loompa, doompity doo, I've got another riddle for you! No, the second rims were only a joke. The questions about the tires and TPMS were serious though.

Wheeeeew!
Man I'm glad it was lol.

We do get the odd ***** with wack appearance ideas and jobs every once in a while around here hehehe!
You might try posting a thread about this in the handling section though.
You may have better luck with replies in that section.

You will need new bands for the 20's for sure. The chrome ones have potential....what's the offset?

The ad says they were on a 2008 Lexus GS 350, I used this website to do a bolt pattern/offset check:

Bolt pattern is the same and offset is 34-45 so I assumed I would be ok. Did I just make an *** out of u and me? (really just me)

The offset sounds good, you probably will want some drop on your ride to pull it off effectively. Overall dia on the wheel is solid at 27", but they are gonna be heavey as a ******...keep that in mind.

Miracle whip sucks ***!!!!!
Mayo rulz!
LOL, that's how I got the nickname when I was a kid. They would catch me in the fridge with a spoon eating mayo...love the stuff!
