The wheels are coming with new lug nuts, so is there anything else I need to get? I hate this getting older business - it sucks
Wheels arrive tomorrow, tires on Friday. TPMS sensors should be at my ship to address already.
Wednesday of next week, I'll get them all mounted and balanced. Then put them on the car.
Speaking of which, is there anything special on reprogramming the sensors to an 08?
I assume you got OE sensors. All 2005-2009 C6's use a gray peanut shaped sensor with GM Part# 25758220.
The procedure for programming all C6 sensors using a TPMS tool is the same, so nothing different with an '08. See the video below for the procedure of how to put the car into he learn mode and how to trigger each sensor. Make sure you get a honk at each wheel (double honk at the Left Rear).
