Thumbs up FINALLY, Got my WHEELS On!!! **PICS**

Ok, so I sat for 2hrs waiting, for some reason the one day I go to the wheel shop they have to be busy! Anywho, I got them on, and they look real nice! I Love THEM!

I only have 2 questions. On the front two wheels the guy had to remove a bolt from where the caliper is to get them to fit onto the 5 bolts. But he didnt think they went to anything they are less than an inch in length. What are they?

Also, my tire pressure guage is all messed up! What is up with that? I figure its because of the wheels but is there any way to get rid of the beeping?

That thing on the front rotor is just to keep the techs from putting the wrong wheel on the front. They may not have installed the TPS sensors in your new wheels there are several threads on what your options are from this point if you do a search.

Congrats on your new wheels!

those are not staggered are they? i like the wheel design, but a staggered set up would have been a lot better.

Let me say that I do like the wheel pattern, just not a fan of chrome on yellow. Much better w/ a black center wheel. Helps "tone down" the yellow paint. But like you said, you were going for a more luxury look.

No one will miss you that's for sure w/ the yellow and chrome.

Not my style, to me doesn't really suit the Z. But as long as you're happy. If you like sport/luxury why not go w/ a G?

I like it man. It looks good. I like the Yellow too. I dont see too many down here in MD. I have to agree with the Black face comment, I think a black face would have looked real sick.

Those are not Volks wheels! How dare you put wheels on a car just because you like them. Who the hell you think you are anyway!
