Hey did you even look at the wheels you put on?? If so were the bands and cradles still there or did someone already cut em?

There were no bands or cradles. The wheels were from an 04 and from what someone else here said, they werent required unitl 07.

Thanks for the heads-up on that hillbilly! Well see how it goes for awhile but I may decide to put them back on at some point.

Ok...got it washed so I took some shots. I am very happy how the wheels look on there. I think the inner painted section of the wheel matches up with the bumpers pretty well too. Also just tinted my windows.

MUCH MCUH better, it is amazing how much wheels make a difference!
As far as your TPMS goes do a search and you will find lots of ways to switch the sensors over to your new wheels with out being over charged!
Good luck!

ok.first the nitrogen is a gimmick.dont be dumb with it.the selling point on nitrogen is that nascar uses it.
next.by disconnecting the battery you will not reset the tire light.to reset the tire light you will either need to realibrate the sensors to the vehicle,or after the factory sensors are put on the new wheels you drive the vehicle over 45mph to turn off the light.
also it is required as of the 2007 model year to put tpms on every vehicle.thats why im glad i have a 05.lol.
it costs so much to swap sensors over because you are breaking down and remounting and rebalancing 8 tires.
i worked at a dealer so all of these things were issues that i faced on a daily basis.its just how it is.

Instead of putting a piece of tape over the area where the light sows maybe it would be cleaner to just remove the bulb - sure it might take a bit longer but it would look better & also the "inspectors" should there be one would think all was A-OK:-)
