Stock magnesium wheel ?
I am looking at a set of magnesium wheels a guy has local and am wondering if the TPMS sensors will fit on these wheels? Also is $500 a fair price for a nice set of them? Thanks in advance for your replys. Mike

Yes the sensors will fit just as they do with your stock wheels. If they/you mount them in the same wheel location, you shouldn't even need to relearn the sensors.
If the wheels are in good condition and there are few or no blemishes in the finish (exposing the base magnesium), I would consider $500 an excellent deal.
Good luck... GUSTO

For a set of factory magnesium wheels in very good condition, $500 is a very good deal.

When I went back to buy the wheels I took some dye penetrant to check a suspect area on one of the beads. Found a 4 inch long crack so I am going to pass on this set of wheels. Wish the seller had been a little more upfront about their past, he was evasive at best. I do believe the damage was done by a carless tire shop. Mike
