A-spec wheels

Hi guys

I bought these wheels and got them today. Here is a pic:

They are 17" and I got this size because I wanted to use my existing tires. I'll be using the stock wheels in the winter time along with Michelin X-ice tires that I got from tire rack.

I also got a new set of tpms at ebay from this seller. I'll be using this with my new wheels. I have a question... Do I need to buy the tpms rebuilt kit for my stock wheels because the tires will be removed? I'm planning to have them installed by Saturday. Thanks!

That TPMS kit includes everything you need. You could have bought my wheels and tires

Thanks for the answer, ceb. I asked this question because I read somewhere that when removing tires, certain components had to be replaced, even though the sensor stayed in the existing wheel. I just wanted to make sure

I would have bought your tires/wheels, but the stock tires are not so great in the snow. Tirerack has the Michelin X-Ice Xi2 (Studless Ice & Snow) for $118 which is not bad and there is a $70 rebate too

Sparkle silver looks good too in my opinion. The gunmetal looks brighter when it's sunny and a little darker when cloudy...

Thanks for the invite bro. Unfortunately, I work on Tuesdays evenings... I'm hoping that the "Paramus meet" becomes reality one day and that it doesn't interfere with my sucky work schedule.
