RS Wheels on my LT

[RMinNJ]

Not sure whether to post this in the tire forum or exterior modification section.. I was just looking for sportier look for my plain white LT..

Brought RS wheels forum member. I will use my 15 inch LT wheels with purecontacts as a winter set. I purchased TPMS sensors off ebay (4 for $60). I brought Hankook Ventus2 205/50/17 tires as I already spent money on wheels and they were quite cheap..plus I knew they would be quiet.

I put a vinyl red pinstripe in the groove in each spoke to spruce them up a little.

Those look good - nice touch with the red striping!

The handling should improve greatly with the new wider/lower profile tires.

Handling is really nice yeah. The Hankook ventus2s are super quiet compared to the purecontacts.
The look of the car is meaner so wheels really do enhance the sedan...functional and visual enhancement so no.regrets.

PS..red stripes are because Dubbs_RS had the red spaces on his..

Fyi..dealer was able to program my eBay gm tpms sensors..tire place could not.

Must have been a primitive tire shop. All that they need is a TPMS tool to program them. Most of my independent repair and tire shops (I work for an ACD/MTC/Mopar warehouse distributor) have the necessary tool to reprogram the sensors.

TPMS sensors have been around for 10 years. If you're selling tires, buying a TPMS tool is about the same as buying wheel weights...

10 years ago - only the dealers had the tool.

I saw the guy use the tool...it was a grey large handheld...he held it next to the tire , typed in my year, make , model. It came back "failed to program" after awhile. Note all tires had the tireshop standard of 32lbs in them...not 38 lbs per the door sticker. I think that standard is 10 years old also.

I hope you and Dubbs don't mind

Most likely needs a software update on his tool.
