Racing Sparco NT-R and TPMS
Well, after lurking for a few weeks, I finally got around to registering and throwing out my first inquiry. I only bought my RX-8 last Sunday evening, so I haven't really had all that much time with it yet, but right off, I am going to need some extra wheels and some snow tires- the streets here are bare and dry, but the road temperatures are down in the 30's and I'm afraid that the stock summer tires are turning into hockey pucks. Now, I have read most of the snow tire threads and I have decided to go out on a limb and go with the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 in 225/50-17 mounted on 17x8 Racing Sparco NT-R's in semi-gloss black. I know that most everyone seems to support the Dunlops, but I think that the Michelins will be better suited to my needs here (we tend to have cycles of heavy snow which melts after a few days, leaving mostly bare and wet roads throughout the winter...). Anyway, to get to my question. I think that the Racing Sparco NT-R's will look great on my car and will provide me with an extra set of reasonably-lightweight wheels should my schedule allow for track days or autocrossing next year. I was just wondering whether or not the Sparco's can accept the TPMS sensors? I know that AlexCisneros runs the NT-R's on his 8, but I haven't been able to find anything about whether he runs the TPMS in his wheels or not. I'd PM him, but as a neophyte, I thought it wise to introduce myself to the group first.
Thanks in advance, I can't believe how much information I have already digested in the last three weeks. I'm sure to be posting more, so watch out for me and do try to be understanding as I am quite the glutton for information.

Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear. When I finally manage to get my tires, wheels and car in the same general vicinity, I might just post a few pictures if anyone is interested.
