Finally got some winter wheels and the snow tires got delivered! Now, waiting for the TPMS sensors to come.

I picked up the wheels used, so I got them for a really good price. Tires from Tirerack were $865 and I'm lucky to have a neighbor that has a tire mount&balancer machine. Thanks to the community about the rockauto closeout sale, I got the TPMS for around $60.

The original picture I posted does seem gold, so I had to check how it looked next to my KMC bronze wheel. Its really close, maybe a shade lighter. I was concerned that my KMC would look gold, I already some paint on standby. 😁
It's a much darker bronze, a color similar to HRE bronze.



They will look sick, I think bronze is going to be the new black (bummer)
When I told my wife I was putting on bronze colored wheel, she gave me a wtf look. 😆
The other day , she mentioned how she always gets compliments on my vehicle on the few days she drives it.

They must have enhanced this picture a little, they look gold and not bronze. The picture I posted with the HPD next to my KMC look more natural and bronze.

Too funny my wife said the same thing, I just reminded her of the bronze Bully’s I had on my element and before Discount tires fucked up a second set of my wheels, I had a set of bronze Sparco Drift on my Element

I bet you got thumbs up a lot with that element and those wheels. They fit that vehicle like a glove!

I haven't been in really muddy areas. Done lots of wet and dry Forrest roads and no damage or excessive debris on the sides of my vehicle.
This is one reason I haven't added spacers. I love the look with spacers, but don't want damage any paint. I thought about adding 1/2" spacers instead for the 1".

I updated the original post with the wheels mounted. These TPMS sensors were recognized with in just a few miles! The set on my KMC took forever to learn.
