You're right! I was so wrapped up into the "new" wheels, I didn't stop to consider you had the sensors. My bad! Yes, siree, $400 is a buy. Don't let them slip thru your fingers!

It's an excellent deal without rubber!
![]() Don't let the tire store charge you a "rebuild" fee for the TPMS sensor swaps from your rims to the new ones. They're brand new. If they insist, leave. Go somewhere else. I've found Discount Tire to be professional and "above board" with their customers at two of the stores I have frequented. Don't know if you have them up there in your neck of the woods.

You earned my vote! NICE! I like the spoke configuration, wheel styling and, especially, the color. All you need now is a set of reputable locking lug nuts. Recommendation: check out "McGard."
I'm using a set that I bought in 1988. They've been on two Honda's and two Elantra's. Chrome finish still looks great after 25 years. They're so old, in fact, that on the side of the "key" is stamped the words: "patent pending." LOL

I have a limited and for my next tire change, I'm going with 225/45R17 tires. From the looks of it, it'll fill the wheel well nicely. Not sure if coilovers will be much benefit if you can only lower it half an inch.

^^^ Absolutely!! The stock Limited tires at 215/45R17 are slightly undersized. 225/45R17 would be a perfect choice to not affect the speedo and fills the wheel wells up better.

When I go to replace my rims, I want to stay at 16" but go with the Moda-16 design. But right now it's more important to me to get these dang stock tires off the car and get a better handling tire on it.
