4 18x8 MSW Type 20 BDC In Stock
4 Required centering ring In Stock
20 Required lugnut for vehicle In Stock
4 225/50R-18 Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 In Stock
4 Mount and Balance (No Charge)
4 315MHz Tire Pressure Sensor In Stock

The TPMS from the RX-8's tires was also listed as a "315MHz Tire Pressure Sensor," but it was obviously different insofar as it was much cheaper ($212 for all four vs. $360).

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and added the TPMS!

Oh well.

What? NO!

oh well, looks like I have to make trips to dealers twice a year. Well, I went ahead and added the TPMS anyway because of my dads critical condition. I have to take him to the Emergency room(from time to time and) if his condition gets worse. I need to know if I have a slow leak so that I can fix it right away. Without TPMS, slow leaks will not be noticeable until the tire is flat.

ONLY 1 more week for the package to arrive!

I feel really bad that you bought the TPMS! It was bizarre that I drove on the snows for a day and a half before it triggered.

Oh well, it sounds like the peace of mind may make it worthwhile for you. I'm bringing mine in tomorrow morning to get it done . . . . $48.

anxiously awaiting the OP's pics of his winter setup. I am considering the same for my black Z.

I was considering swapping them today but the temps are still in the 50s. Don't want to wear out the new rubber prematurely. One or two more weeks, then they'll be on. (Unless my wife convinces me to do it tomorrow).

Edit: Will have them on the car tomorrow. Pics to follow.
