No problem, I updated the pics today. It’s super dark because of the rain but I did managed to get the car clean up. The newer caps will not fit in the oem f22 wheels, but they will fit in the titan7 wheels which also happen to match the new G series. The bolt pattern is irrelevant.

The installer talked me into reusing the oem tpms in the new wheels, so I put the tirerack tpms set in the old wheel set. I still wanted to keep a functional back up set just in case.

Earlier in the thread, another member confirmed tirerack’s tpms worked well for him.

I'll do same, crap RFT will be winters if needed. Tire rack has some, but VDO/Continental dont show up, just a "433 mhz" version. No biggie can order when I get tires and swap.

stupid questions, APEX doesnt say, assuming each spacer is $45 each, and its one per kit ?

Spacers come in pairs, so you need 2 kits.

BOOM ordered. Thx Doc for your help and uploading pics and answering questions. I'll decide on 3mm vs 5mm later.

No problem brother, if I was planning to stay with a 235/40 I would personally get the 5mm Spacers all around for a super flush look, but if you want a slightly more conservative yet still pretty flush look then I’d get the 3mm all around. The 2mm difference is very minor and to be honest, whichever way you go for, it’s going to look great.

Wow, those wheels really cleaned up! looks great

My car will be out of the shop this week and I plan to have the wheels ceramic coated prior to mounting, sooo still have to wait But there is a big cruise coming up and if all goes as planned Ill have some really good pics with the wheels this weekend.

I'm still waiting on the 5mm spacers for the front.. I was thinking, depending on how low the car sits with the new coilovers, do you think I will still want to use 5mm spacers? I didnt order any for the rear..

Depends on your tire width, in reality you can run them without the spacers but if you want a true...true flush look, then get the spacers.

your folks try putting on w/o spacer ? Clear the strut ok ?

Your pic looked over 1/2 inch, so maybe so. (probably tight and 3mm good call)

I didn’t try to fit the wheels without the spacers, but I probably will try this weekend when I have a little time. I need to flip the spacers anyways so I’ll definitely try to mount them with no spacers to see how well it fits

Love the pics of the titan 7 wheels. I was between the ts-5's and variant alloy's xenon wheels. Ended up going with variant alloys. They're not fully forged, only flow formed but about $1700 for the set including ceramic coating. Went with a 19x8.5 +35 square set up 245/35/19.

Car is getting there! Just got her back from the shop, gotta work out a few kinks with tuning though.. I got the tires mounted and center caps popped right in. Here is some photos of the wheels for now until I get them on the car.

They looks super nice on that color

How many miles can you expect to get in return from that sticky compound?

This is my first go with these tires, but tbh I don't drive the car very often.. weekend cruises and 1 or 2 track sessions.. If you look at my Red wheels, in the photos below, those are RE71r and they have had one track session and maybe driven on like 5k mil. They look great. But I'm also AWD so that can help.

Here are a few pics I managed to get tonight that show fitment and the stud kit.. The front are using 5mm spacer and I think they look perfect. Rears look good as well. Forgive me because the car is filty from being in the shop for weeks. Also it got dark and I only got 2 wheels on and pictures with light in my tiny ass garage

Nice, color goes great on white..can't wait to get mine...I'll have to play with 3mm vs 5mm up front too. Did you try with no spacer ?

Thats lowered a bit yes ?

Now get it cleaned, tires shined and get some proper pics up !!

(thx for getting them up, nice to have looking forward to)
