Is there anywhere that sells whees/tires with whatever you need for the TPMS to work already installed? I'm looking at new rims for my car but I'm stationed over seas so I'll have to get them shipped to me and there really isnt a shop that works on American cars in Italy.

Oh and what are some good daily driver tires?

If you have some money to spend you might consider getting something light. As in under 20 pounds per wheel. The deep dish bullitts weigh a metric *** ton.

American Muscle has the best prices on replacement bands. I went through the same thing when I put my 20"s on the Stang. Look incredible!

its not hard to swap. when you get new wheels have them take the old sensors off and put them on the new wheels. any shop will know how to do this. if they dont you are in the wrong place to begin with. all you need is new bands to secure them to the wheel. if the shop does not carry them you can order them online or buy them from a ford dealership before you change out your wheels.

Well like I said, I'm stationed in Italy when not deployed so there are virtually no shops there that touch American cars. I think americanmuscle.com is the only place I've seen that sells everything I need plus has a selection of 18X10 and 18X9 wheels. I wish they sold godspeed rims there. Tire rack seems to not have any 10 inch wide rims that I actually like. Oh well, I have quite a while to shop around still.

wheels are wheels man it has nothing to do with your american car. if they wont touch them because you drive an american car take them off and bring them to them and say they are from a BMW. ive been stationed in italy, not with my stang but my wifes dodge ram and we never had any issues. i was at Aviano AFB
