finally got my new wheels!!!!

bolted on my new wheels yesterday :D . Axis Crux, 19x8 on all four corners wrapped in Falken Azenis ST-115 (235/35/19). I believe the offset is +42. I didn't bother w/the TPMS so the light just blinks constantly. I assumed that the light would just stay lit, but it blinks, very annoying! Hope you guys like the setup.

Interesting, my aftermarket rims didn't take the tpms either but my light from the time i installed them until now has just stayed solid with no blinking and i can live with that.

I just put a piece of black electrical tape on the spot with the TPMS. Never even notice anymore.

Yeah, i have no clue why it blinks!! I'll go w/the tape soon. I never realized how much thinner running 235/35/19 would look compared to the OEM potenzas. my tires practically look flat when the tire pressure is 40 lbs..

Those rims look great...Watch for potholes with those thin tires. Now you need rear polished accent for the back...I have one I can sell you if interested, haven't got around to posting it yet.

did you put the tape on the clear plastic panel did you remove the pantel and put tape over the actual light? if so, how do you take the panel off? thanks for all the compliments :D

I'm on the St-115 also but a 245/35/19. Is it not the quietest tire you've ever been on? When I went up to 19's I thought the ride would get worse and the road noise would increase but the complete opposite happened. I'm very impressed with the tire after being a skeptic early on. Actually looked at the Crux also.

Nice choice.

You're right. the ride quality and tire noise has improved drastically. I just assumed since the tires are spanking new, thats the reason for the improvements. I wonder how the tires will be at 10k. How much mileage do you think we can expect from these tires?
