I got the new wheels installed and had them replace the one non working TPMS sensor so the light can go off. They look better than I thought they would and I'm back to having fun driving my car! I'm going to try to attach three pics. Thanks to all of you for your assistance and advice and I might be asking for more in regards to me selling the ones that were on there, in terms of how much I might be able to sell them for. I'll attach pics later of them.

 

Pssst... (they forgot to put the center caps on)..

Glad they got you all fixed up.. I'd hate two weeks of just looking at my car!

 

Nice fit and nice choice! Both the wheels and the car/color!

 

Thanks for letting me know since I didn't know they were supposed to be there. I just went and looked and two of the wheels are missing a bolt or whatever it's called. I'll call the little stinkers tomorrow!

 

I don't "know" they are supposed to have center caps.. was just an observation you didn't have any.. are you saying two of the lug bolts are not installed?

Edit: Looking again there's not a machined "lip" for one to sit in.. so they may very well not.. but hey glad you noticed the missing bolts at least..! Always inspect as best as you can.. my tire shop can't seem to get the OEM center caps on right.. guess that tab and slot are just too hard to deal with.. LOL

 

Actually there are three missing! I went out to recheck all the wheels and the only one with all five is the rear passenger. This really makes me mad and if it weren't for you I wouldn't have ever thought to check so thank you very much. I can't seem to get away from missing lugnuts! I will take this up with them tomorrow 😡

 

Glad to see your wheel didn't come off while driving! I like the black and red, I would suggest chrome or black for the rest of the silver exterior pieces like the side strakes

 

What is a side strake? 😳

 

As just defined in another thread.. The Freddy Kruguer fingers on your fenders.. LOL..

 

Hahaha! Just looked and I like them..think they add to the sportiness of the car. Not sure that I'd want to change the color since they match the door handle and the area around the window shield. I know that was someone else making that suggestion.

 

I'd have to agree with you, But some people like the "everything" blacked out look. Just doesn't fit with my preferences though.

 

👍 I'm going to "bother" you later for a suggestion on the wheels I took off in regards to selling them. Need to take good photos as the guy where I got the new wheels said a couple were bent. I'm really not sure. Thanks for all the help!

 

Not a "Bother" at all.. LOL. And don't let the "surprised you didn't loose a wheel" comment earlier concern you about taking your car back for those lugs. I would trust 4 holding it on all day long.. I am kinda surprised no one else you've dealt with "noticed" bent rims though?

 

Okay thanks but I'm going to make the put on the missing three and I'm going to make sure they match. Only thing u ever noticed was a discoloration in a small area close to the top. Only problems left to fix is repairing the a/c and one of the things on the back windshield that defrosts it, isn't connected. That last may be an easy fix.

 

Yeah...five lug nuts on each wheel! Come to find out the guy that ordered the wheels for me thought that the ones from the wheels on my car would work with the new wheels, but they didn't. He was off the day they installed the new wheels *whether that would have made a difference I'll never know*, so they used some they had there which I do like. WHY they didn't put five on each tire is beyond me, but they had more there to finish it off today. Thanks again Mr. Miattttaaaa!

 

Good deal!. .. Now we can quit worrying about seeing you on national news.. "Wheels fall off Crossfire.. Possible Recall"... LOL.

And don't thank me.. All I did was note it looked like center caps should cover the lug area ( I did notice the little carbon fiber caps later).. Your the one that noticed the lack of lugs!

 

ROFL!! I'll repeat myself...if YOU had not mentioned the center caps I would NEVER have gone out to look at that area and thus would NEVER had noticed lug nuts were missing...so it IS thanks to you. I'll take photos of the other wheels as soon as I can drag them out of the boxes for pics..those things are HEAVY!

 

Translation: "You're my heeerrrooooooooo" *swoon*


haha just kidding.

glad everything got sorted out for you!

 

Um.. you need to photo shop that car green when you make posts like these.. So we can ENVY it.. LOL.

Besides.. I've been riding in this rodeo since it started back what 6 weeks ago.. LOL.

 

Well your a Texas Gal.. so I'm guessing steel wheels instead of alloy? LOL. Just wondering though.. how do you like the new ones vrs the old ones you took off? There are several members in the Houston area you might be able to talk into working with you on some spacers and setup.. Just a thought..
