Hopefully they got the TPMS problem out of the way. But I will check with Nick. I think if I have them mount and balance them and all I have to do is put them on the car it will help resolve alot of potential problems.

My new ones have a big chipped spot already at the egde of where the center caps meet the wheel. Paint chips REALLY easy on these wheels. But seems like once the wheel has a few miles on them they stop losing paint. They have one day of driving on them.

See this is what I am worried about, paying all that money especially the extra for paint and having it chip or flake and making the wheels look cheap.

The TPMS thing was a comedy of problems for me. Not really funny at all actually. |

I paid about $200 from my dealer, but I think you can get them from GMPartsDirect for around $130 (wish I'd known at the time).

NOT funny. I JUST ordered a replacement tire. $356.06 and will have to pay to have it mounted and balanced. THEN drive to Louisiana and get my car. Had my sensors not gotten stolen during all this, I would not have to replace this tire. I'd have known it was flat before driving on it and destroying the sidewalls. 1 315/25ZR -22 Pirelli PZero Nero XL In Stock $331.00 $331.00 Shipping: $25.06 Tax: $.00 Excise Tax: $.00 Order Total Including Shipping: $356.06

OK guys and gals I have a little better photo shop of the wheels on my car. I am getting one more done with just the wheels chrome and will make my decision based on these two drawings.
I really have to decide if the paint is what I want, not that it doesn't look good but the chipping makes me nervous, especially around the lug nuts. What do you think of these now. A little better representation of what they will look like. |

Those wheels are GREAT! I love the chrome on a RJT car. It makes the red pop even more.
Two thumbs up! |

My car was built in January and it had the problem. PQ's car I think is an earlier build and it had the problem. There are several threads in the forums that discuss this. The GM sensors are known to work. I ordered my sensors from my dealer and he asked for my VIN number when he ordered them. I have no idea if there is a difference in part number from early vs later builds. That's why I was willing to pay a little more to get a sensor that the dealer would guarantee to work and it did. |

The Savini's really look good, just a little skeptical becuase of the issues You and Randy had, but I would like to think that because this is a new car that these issues were bound to come up. Randy's was a whole nother issue. I did talk to one person who thought that it would be a great idea to have the wheels come balanced and mounted. This stops a whole bunch of problems from happening, and IF there is a problem it will be easy to rectify, ooooh a big word, LOL |

I had also thought about doing the powder coating on the brake calipers but from the picture the calipers kinda match my painted stripes. I am also waiting on the Dovetail Spoiler. I have it on order and it was supposed to be here in August , then the first of September, but now they have no clue when GM will release it, so who knows about that. |
