Perfect.
Thanks! I will show this to House of Wheels and see if they will work with me to ship me metal stem TPMS's (at least for the 2 fronts)! Will have to redo M&B regardless on those 2 to get them in tho as this crummy stem/TPMS placement (again) makes removal without complete tire dismounting near impossible I assume. Only thing this stem placement might be good for is racin' and stem protection from side swipes, but then it'd probably melt the damn thing from the heat. All for looks. Another thing I'm not crazy about these rims is that it appears that the inner barrel will hold dust and dirt, and is probably not self draining of water to the inside of the barrel like a normal rim. There's a "ditch" (for lack of better tem) formed by the inner and outer flanges... Damn good looking rim tho Last edited by bub; 11-20-2015 at 05:33 PM. |

We were considering that one, before we went with the new '15 from Hendrick. The '14 had like 8k miles on it and was super clean. Also had NPP. He was at $33k. |

I've been looking at those myself, and expected to have ordered a set by now, but other factors have become an issue. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks as it's getting cold enough here now to keep me from driving the Camaro.
Also, I've seen the valve stem issue discussed in the MRR thread. It was noted when the wheels first started shipping. In any case, good choice. |

OK, just got off the phone with Bob from House of Wheels. He is sending me a shorter rubber valve stem "kit" that fixes this issue. He was apologetic that I had this problem in the first place. The shorter stem screws on to the TPMS unit itself, and clears the skates/ears. Just looking at a re-mount and balance for the 2 fronts now at KC Trends so the rims don't get all jacked up in the process.
For guys buying this MRR set-up for a 1LE or regular SS - BE SURE TO EITHER ASK FOR THE SHORTER STEMS FOR THE FRONT OR THE METAL STEMMED TPMS! Don't rely on the rim supplier to know or remember this issue with our cars' factory brake pads. |
