I've finally nailed it down the Hiros. I plan on getting the bronze or anthracite on my nordic green in about a month after i refi on my house. I also plan on getting 235/3519 BF Goodrich KDWs from Costco. I just called to inquire about the TPMS as i know that the Hiros take the TPMS w/o any problem. However, Costco just said they will only install the tires on the new wheels, and nothing else. I must admit that I know nothing about the TPMS sensors themselves, so...is it hard to instruct them on how to install the sensors on the hiros?? also, what would you guys think? bronze or anthracite? I dont know if the bronze will look cheesy in a couple years..any help would be appreciated..

Athracite. I have 19's it took the guys a good hour to put on the tmps but they couldn't get one of them to fit right so i am rollin around with 3 tpms sensors on, and my tpms light is flashing. If you are paying for the tire install from costco and then going somewhere else to put on the tpms sensors, it might be cheaper just to have costco mount them and put them in a different car and find someone who can put the sensors on...if you need them?

I have been told by tire rack to have a reputable shop do it beacause there can be leaking problems. I am getting my rims/tires in a couple weeks, so I am going to call around and make sure the shop doing mine knows exactly what to do.

Oh, go with the Athracite! :D

i guess i dont really need them, just dont want the light to be on. i'm sure it won't bother after a couple days, so f it. i plan on putting keeping the oem wheels anyway as i will be putting snow tires next winter.

I am going to go ahead and switch the sensors to the new rims and use the old rims for AutoX wheels, will have lower pressure so the light will be on anyway, I might as well switch. You'll be happy!

How low do you run for AutoX?
