Mid-A Epic Random-ness Discussion Thread
Alright guys.. i finally decided on some cheap wheels...
I ordered the XXR 962 in gold/chrome lip..

Yes, they are cheap, but they come with all seasons and they are 19's and gold, and chrome lip and simple looking...
i only paid 1375 shipped...
Later if i start getting heavy into the Z, i'll upgrade... but i think these will suffice for now..
the Offset does suck though.. its 35+ all the way around bleh... but hey... it'll do for now

So i had this brilliant idea that's not going to work lol..
I thought to myself, if the TPMS sensor is in the tire.. attached to the valve stem right? why couldnt i just deflate the tire....push the tire down, reach in and grab the damn thing..... and inflate the tire back up..........then i thought about balancing...
So essentially, i could do the majority of the work myself, but just have it rebalanced... Does this sound legit?
I would try to do the whole bottle mod with putting the TPMS sensors inside the PCV tube and block it off and inflate to 35psi and see how well that works...
thoughts?
EDIT: and this is why i fail... The sensor are activated by spinning of the tires... which turns them on to be readable. Nissan did this to save battery life... SO... just pressurizing them won't work.. and i'd be damned if i was spinning the PCV in my hand trying to drive hahahahaha

Dude those wheels aren't bad at all. I've seen a few Z guys with those before. As for the offsets, just buy some spacers to get them sitting where they look good for now. Then just always upgrade wheels later.
Anyone plan on going to the Wrong Fitment Crew meet in March in North Carolina?
