Nice Pics

I found when I swapped out my wheels, it took a couple of trys to relearn the sensors. Definitely make sure you have a large enough magnet. Doen't have to be huge, but large enough.........to trip the sensor......you see it on the DIC. Also, if it doesn't take the first time, I found you had to route back through and start the process from the beginning.

Put the wheels up F/S on the Parts for Sale Forum.....thats where I sold mine.....but no Best Offers allowed. You got to state a price. Good luck with everything.

I am not usually a fan of those wheels, but they look good on your car.
