Wheel ideas on the GT/CS.....
Just curious - are most GT/CS owners going to stay with the stock 18" polished rims? I think they look pretty decent and may end up taking mine to a local wheel shop and switch them out for the chrome versions.....they'll do it for $125.00/wheel....I did this on my Alantic Blue '00GT and they offset with the blue much better than the stock silver GT rims....thoughts??

The only thought I had was to paint the spokes the same color as the car.

the stock 18" fanblades look so much like the old style Craggers, I'am just going to leave them be, a bit of that retro thing. Get a lot of comments on them.

It Is Part Of The Valve Stem.

OK - someone has to ask the obvious question....how does the TPMS communicate with the message center....is there actually an electrical connection between the wheel and the vehicle harness - allowing the wheel senser to provide feedback to the message center?

The Current TPMS is in Side on the Wheel held by what is basically a large Hose Clamp! The are a Small Transmitter. The Valve stem Style was used on Previous Models.

http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=38358 Hey Kev - is my GT/CS in yet:grin: By the way - thanks for the parts (and the extra goodies) - your service is excellent!! I'm trying to get just the grip portion of the leather e-brake handle off so I don't have to change out the entire assembly. The plastice shrouds come off easily - but having a hard time figuring out how the grip piece is attached....looks like a slide on plastic housing with the leather glued to the outside....can't see any locking tabs - will post if I figure a way to remove it w/o destroying the part! |
