18" Rim colors

You don't have to replace the TPMS as far as I know. I believe they are moved from wheel to wheel - am I mistaken?
I believe it is only black chrome and sparkle silver. You can get them powder coated by a local place if you want other colors.

I checked on it....almost $100 per sensor. I'm having them removed from the old wheels and placed on the new ones. $400 for just sensors! Shhsh!

Yeah, I believe even the dealers when installing the 18" wheels just swap the sensors. It shouldn't be a big deal to do that - TPMS are used by many vehicles now, so it isn't something crazy anymore like the PAX system will be when it first comes out on cars here.

No doubt. I'm thinking about going with the Pirelli Pzero Neros M&S.... They don't have the drone of the A/S and generally look cooler.....plus! only $210 per tire! about 37/tire cheaper.

Plenty of people (myself included) have been raving about the Pirelli PZeroNero M&S on a different thread in this forum (see 18 inch tire choices). Overall an excellent choice!!
I got my TPMS sensors from Acura of Escondido (the guys that sell on ebay) and paid $148 for 4 OEM Acura sensors.

Was there a reason why you didn't raid them from the old wheels?

I saved my 17 inch wheels and mounted snow tires on them. Up here in western Canada, snow tires come in very handy. I'm thinking that you won't have the same need down in Texas. If you don't need the 17's then I believe you can just have the TPMS sensors removed and mounted on your new wheels.

I took a chance and purchased the Avon Tech M550s A/S from tirerack. I am very satisfied with these tires. The price is very competitive. I have always bought Michelins so I was hypersensitive about the change in ride and handling these tires would have. They have been rock solid on dry and wet roads for the last 6,000 miles. They corner so much better than the OEM Michelins. The only complaint I could mention would be that there is a slight increase in road noise.

I ended up buying the Pirelli Pzero Nero M&S. Although the weather stays above the 30's in winter, i'd like to do some travelling (Chicago) this fall and don't wanna have to worry about changing tires/wheels from the Pilot Sports. Not to mention, the Nero's beat the Pilot A/S out at the track in cornering, slalom, braking, etc.... A/S is a little faster in the wet, but that's it. And for thirty seven clamshells extra per tire, I can deal with slower stops..... :-)
