Nice wheels, TPMS sensors can't be mounted like stock on 2piece and 3piece wheels. They can be mounted, but it requires the banding method, check out DIY section if you wanna go that route.

In fact, I've slammed it (as well as had my SPC camber kits installed, corner balancing and 4-wheel alignment done) last week at Precision Z in Canoga Park, and it looks great. I will post some pics soon - I'm trying to get my friend with his DSLR camera to help me take some nice pics of my baby! =)

Sweeeet.. How do you like the the arms up front? Thinking about getting a pair when I swap out for some stances.

there are also centermount valves with a ring on the inside for the TPMS. It's a great design and I was ready to buy them for my 2pc wheels... but I also read that since that means the TPMS is right in the center of the wheel, the sensor has no protection whatsoever. It's VERY hard to mount/dismount tires when the sensors are in that location, even when the tire guys know they are there. I had already lost a sensor with aftermarket wheel tire install (yes they replaced it but weeks later and I never bothered to reinstall it), so I passed.

I'll get better photos taken... as for now, these will do. =)
With the camber arms installed, the wheels are pushed out further it seems - just a tad bit more than flushed.

With the camber and toe angles adjusted for optimal tire wear, handling seems to be pretty much the same. As for the weight of the wheels in comparison with the OEM rims, I'll have to do some digging for that info.

I can't seem to find the weight of these rims on Ray's Engineering's website.
The only way I can find out is to weigh them the next time I remove the wheels. =P

Thanks bro! Your car looked great as well. I told the guys at Precision Z that I wanted my car lowered just like yours! =)
