Default Excited: Fsport full faced wheels on the way

Just won an auction on eBay for them with brand new tpms sensors, fsport lugs, and PS2s. Wheels and tires were on for just 2 weeks.

The guy was just 5 miles from my dad, he swung by and said they were perfect so I dropped the hammer. It was a sweet deal.

Super pumped.

That's it, just sharing my excitement because I am in Wisconsin so they won't be on for a while.

It's always a good feeling when you beat out the other bidders on eBay! Can't wait to see your car with the wheels.

I saw that auction and the starting price. Even the buy it now price was insanely low. Instead, I got the old F-Sport Wheels brand new for a pretty hefty discounted price.

Post pictures when you can!

You CAN remove factory sensors onto new wheels. Some people have two sets. One for their winter and another for summer set up.

Correct, I will now have winter wheels and summer wheels.

The buy it now price was actually the minimum reserve price so it all worked out. Yes it was over 50%.

I will post pics when they arrive next week. I really like them, and as many of you may have read I was torn between these and the 2011 Fsport standard rims. I am really glad I got these ones instead. Can't be forged, PS2's, and TPMS's!

unless the TPMS are inside the wheels already and you gotta dismount tires.
