The wheel has the hole for TPMS but its position is a little bit higher. So it is not as stable as in the OEM wheel.

BTW, Japan 2IS doesn't equip TPMS. Interesting!

But for everyone else's benefit, the AME Tracer FS-01 Wheels are defintiely TPMS compatible
Ichigo, post some pics of your car, which shop did you go in CA and how much for wheels/tires?

Thanks!

looking at the diagram, i don't think you'll have a problem with the tpms. have you seen how the tpms sits with people running iforged or other wheels where the valve stem hole is in the barrel of the rim? the guts of the tpms stick out 90 degrees from the barrel.

Oh! Really!
So I will update "FS-01 is TPMS compatible".

Thank you all!

TPMS is a US 2007 Mandate...similar to SRS back in the 90's

on the FS-01...you can put some double sided tape until the fills the gap if it makes you feel better about the fit.

BTW...just picked up some 20" AVUS AF-501



They'll be on my car once i get it lowered.

yea, i was thinking of doing that. i prolly will.

And to answer kilo6 one's question: what size tires are you running?
They are the original 18" tires. Bridgestone 225/40 and 255/40.
I'm considering new springs to bring the car closer to the ground and wheels.

i like the 18s. they look much sportier imo. i'm not a fan of big wheels. those fit the car perfectly with the drop.
