Sure thing, man...
there's a drop down where you can select OEM for $146...or NOT oem for $60 (down from almost $70)...non oem is slightly lighter but it's fine and I like the contrast.
If I am going to hit stuff here and there, I'd rather just buy the cheap one anyway...

Thanks for the suggestion Jason, but even at a discount that'll b $300-350 I think...I'm trying to keep it simple and not spend more.

rockauto, obviously...

I like the pressure of not having a back up set

Caddy is looking good boss man. Can't wait to see them against that black paint. Maybe post to IG so I dont have to keep checking in! Did the seller specify if they were the forged or cast Targas? For 750 Id assume cast.
Super cute we bought new wheels the same day! What are the odds? I drove about an hour to get them in this cali rain. I wish people didnt wait until it rained to get new tires. My god.

YASSSS, I love when you don't take yourself too seriously, Jonathan!
and no sir, they are cast for sure...heavy! but not too heavy in comparison to stocks...plus with this car, you don't feel it.
I just needed a cheap easy solution to get me off a cracked rim...this solved that problem and looks good in the process so I'm stoked.

Wheels look awesome. Rear fitment is spot on. From those pics looks like you could use a slight spacer on the fronts though.

Funny, I thought about it, but I'm fine with how it is...what I might do is see about correcting the front camber a little if it's designed like the rear to end up with factory spec alignment.
Also, my tpms is not synced up since I bought new ones so i'll need to go by Acura again anyway.

Is Acura your plug? btw.. do you guys know if a generic tire wand will sync the TPMS?
I'm going to replace mine when I swap the tires out. Wondering if I should just grab a wand.

Yes sir...Acura is where I trust my friends/techs...
I'll swing by there to have it synced...not sure what is involved but Jon said he would.

Some say it doesn't work.. I say, let out pressure slowly.
If not, let it out fast.

Should work..

Heres the copy pasta from tpms forum.. it's not standard ignition, it's also not push to start..

GM-8

With standard ignition:
1. Turn the ignition to the ON position (engine off)
2. Using keyless entry system: press and hold lock and unlock button simultaneously until horn sound and release INFO button until TIRE LEARN message is indicated on display. Hold down SET/RESET button until horn sounds. LF turn signal is illuminated to indicate learn mode enabled.
3. Starting with LF tire, increase/decrease the pressure until horn sounds.
4. After horn sounds, proceed as in step 3 for the next 3 sensors in the following order, RF RR LR.
5. After LR sensor has been learned, turn ignition to OFF position. Adjust all tires to pressure listed on tire placard.

With Push-Button start:
1. Press and hold the push start button until the vehicle is in accessory mode. Note: on Cadillac models you will know you are in accessory mode when the Cadillac emblem appears on the DIC.
2. Press the MENU button located on the turn signal lever until “VEHICLE INFORMATION MENU” is displayed.
3. Once you are in the VEHICLE INFORMATION MENU, use the arrows on the signal lever until the DIC displays the vehicle’s tire inflation pressures and positions.
4. Press and hold the button located on the end of the turn signal lever until “ Are you sure that you want to relearn? YES or NO” is displayed.
5. Use the arrows on the signal lever to highlight YES. Once YES is highlighted, press the button located on the end of the turn signal lever. The horn will chirp, “Tire Learning Active” will be displayed on the DIC, and the left turn signal will be illuminated.
6. Beginning with the left front tire, use a TPMS activation tool to activate the LF sensor. Once the sensor has been activated, the horn will chirp and the right turn signal will be illuminated. Repeat procedure in the following order. RF, RR, LR. Once the LR has been activated, the horn will chirp twice. You can then turn the vehicle off to exit “learn mode”.

if i'm not mistaken the updated TPMS won't work with that learn procedure, something like after 2012. I ordered a TPMS programmer from Fleabay and it shipped from Chyyyina!!! if you guys need to borrow we can ship it around to each other...

Let me know what you find about the front camber cause I am not happy with the fact the dealer couldn't get my front camber any closer than -2.5. My toe is perfect so I am not super worried about tire wear but still would like to get it back at least near -1.5 or -1.8 range.

It was expensive to get a tool for my Lexus but I bought a tool for the GM sensors for like $60.
