Welp, the postman delivered 4 sets of these babies today.... Tomorrow I'll start working on coming up with a work around bracket to adapt the TPMS modules to the Work wheels.....
DANGER - DANGER - DANGER Piksur Intensive OK.... Another little update Work wheels don't readily accept TPMS units..... Yes they do make an adapter, but it doesn't hug the barrel very well (not much space inside low profile tires) and can be snagged by the "Tire Guy" and they are "Poke Your Eyes Out Expensive" and weren't in stock at the time I was looking...... Sooooo...... Designed and made my own.... Here's how..... Developed a design and transferred the pattern to 18 gauge T304 SS..... Bought 4 SS 3-1/2" hose clamps.... Made em bigger..... Formed the holders.... Closeup in place..... Again..... Ditto....
Noticed I oriented the TPMS unit 180 degrees opposite the valve stem hole? Kinda trying to help minimize the wheel weights.... The valve stem is a humongous "Truck" type stem.... These babies.... Sooooo.... In a word, not too worried.... Will it need wheel weights.... Yup.... Tires by themselves will cause the need for weights.... The trick will be for me to get the tire guy to place the heavy part of the tire where I want it..... Heh Heh Heh....
Nice work!!. Now we get to pine over seeing them on the car for many months until spring... :sad: :lol:
^^^ Good idea Chuck.... I keep catching customers messing with them down at the shop. Wanting to know if they're for sale....
Thanks guy's.... Yeah, I really like the way they turned out. I still can't get over how nice the non-runflat tires ride. My wife was out of town for the weekend and I took her for a quick spin around the block when she got home.... She likes the "new" look and definitely could tell the ride was a lot more comfortable..... The TPMS did their thing and I had no problem re-setting the computer. Now I just need to pick up a mobility kit and store it in the boot. I should have ditched those oem run flats ages ago....
They look great. I couldn't believe the ride when i ditched my runflats too. Unfortunately my runflats will go back on for the winter.:cryin:
