if the TPMS sensors are installed as you tab thorugh the gauges button it will show the tire pressure for each tire.

Try giving Bob a call at House of Wheels in FL. They are a supporter here.

I have seen problems with Center caps fitting before on OEM wheels and aftermarket wheels. They seem to move around even though they will not fall off, they seem to rattle. I fixed this problem on my wheels by taking little pieces of rolled up painters tape and putting it where the center caps "snap" in. This makes it a little harder to get the caps in, but once they are in, they don't rattle at all.

Good Luck.

You can also try getting a set of the chrome center caps from Corvette Garage. They should fit tight IMO.

I used self sticking velcro on the tab that snaps on the wheel. I just used on 4 tabs that have that slight claw that snaps to the wheels and it worked fine and not visible also. This was on my C6. Hope that helps. easy fix
