It was a very dusty day. car could use a wash atm. =-P
I liked the chrome tails b/c it goes with the black/chrome appeal i have. I don't like to crazy with the chrome either. I like how it turned out.
Can you tell that I have a Clear Bra? It goes right across the middle of the hood and front fenders. Great product!

About the TPMS compatible problem I am facing right now is that for OEM wheel, the sensor is on the surface of the wheel. However, when I try to install the sensor in the new wheel, there's a gap between the sensor and the surface of the wheel. The sensor doesn't touch the surface of the wheel.
Will there be any problem if I install the sensor?

Just wanted to let you know that I got the same rims as you installed yesterday and my wheel shop was able to get the TPMS sensors in no problem. The car hasnt thrown me any warning lights thus far, so it seems like everything is all good. Maybe try another tire shop?
But for everyone else's benefit, the AME Tracer FS-01 Wheels are defintiely TPMS compatible

In fact, I got a reply from Kyoho Corporation (http://kyoho-corporation.jp/) today. They told me that FS-01 is incompatible with TPMS. So this is the official reply from the wheel maker.
However, I am afraid that my wife will kill me because of the TPMS issue. I asked the tire shop to install the transmitters back to the wheels last night. So your transmitter is not "on" the wheel, right? Unlike Lexus OEM wheel, the transmitter is "on" the wheel.

Dear Eddie
Thank you for your enquiry by FAX as subject.
Unfortunately, FS-01 is not manufactured to fit TPMS.
There might be the one to fit somehow but it is not recommended to do so by safety reasons.
Please contact us again, if you have any other questions!
Best Regards,
Itchy

P.S. ENKEI FS-01 are sold as AME FS-01 so please not to be surprised responce from us.

ok...this is what I mean that the transmitter is not "on" the wheel.
I don't know if it is so called "TPMS incompatible"?
What I am afraid is that will the transmitter become loose after vibration or rotation?
