Default Good Deal or Bad Deal ???

Sup Volk owners,
I'm curious to knowing if this is a good or average or bad deal..
Thanks for you input...

Items are new..
  1. Volk LE37 - 19x9.5 / 19x10.5 (+22) - Diamond Black
  2. Toyos - 245/275
  3. Install TPS from old track wheels to Volks (TPS bands)
  4. Mount & Balance

all for $3750 out the door? & instock..
is saving a few hundo worth it?...by an online vendor...

Thanks

Not a bad price. You don't need to band the TPMS sensors, they fit the LE37's just like they fit the OEM wheels.

Really that's a good deal? I bought my GTS w/tires mounted and balanced shipped to my front door for a couple of hundreds less than that.

I'd love to know where you're getting them. The LE37 has been discontinued for some time now.

must the TPMS be recalibrated?
& since no bands are needed, do they just screw onto the wheel somewhere?
is this s DIY task?

that's a good price for LEs for everything listed.
LEs/TEs > GTS in price.
LEs can be found by most vendors here as they still have it in stock.

No calibration needed if they're from the same car. Make sure you move from old front left to new front left, etc.

The sensors are part of the valve stem, when you remove the nut from the valve stem, the sensor drops into the tire. You stick it through the hole on the new wheel and put the nut back on.

Over a year ago when I bought mine, several vendors quoted $2900 for 19" LE37s. Shortly after that, I know there was a price increase of a couple hundred dollars. Throw in 4 tires and $100 in mount and balancing and I can easily see $3750 is a good deal (unless Toyo's are a whole lot cheaper than I think they are.)
