I love this rims, were did find them and how much?
here the link to their site
they are series #185 I have a set of series #186 on my 91 F250 for the last 5 years with out a problem
plus the are made in the USA Eagle Alloy Wheels
I talked to a tire shop guy (National Chain store) and he said that in the state of Ohio, you can remove the tire pressure sensors (legally) from your vehicle as long as you DON'T tamper with the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Light). He said that they do it all the time when someone buys a new set of rims & tires and don't want the $160.00 plus sensors placed on them. People have them removed all the time because they have a bad habit of snapping off when you try to remove the steal caps, so they just replace them with the old style valve stems. No problem, and problem salved.
I had all 5 of the stupid Tire Pressure Sensors pulled out and standard air valves put in. Note that the MIL Malfunction Indicator Light in the dash stayed on. So I went to the hardware store, bought 2 heavy walled 4" PVC end caps, 1 piece of 4" heavy walled PVC pipe about 4" long and 1 standard size valve stem. I glued 1 cap to one end of the pipe, the ground the dome off of the other end (just enough to drill a hole for the valve stem to fit). I placed all 5 of the TPS's inside and glued the other end cap on to it. Using PVC cleaner and glue. I pumped it up to approximately 40 PSI (checked for leaks using soapy water). Then I took it out to the truck, started the truck and the MIL went out . So now the (RedNeck TPS Cheater Can) "as I call ir" stay in the Toyota under the back seat and "NO MORE IDIOT LIGHT" to look at while driving down the high-way.
Well, it's official, the Can I made fot the tire pressure sencor's did the trick. I took my vehicle in for the state required test and all they were concerned with was that there were no MIL lit up in the dash. So when I go to sell it someday, I'll just hand them the can and smile.
If there's a way to get around a problem, a Redneck will find a way, LOL.
Are we related ? i can tell you I don't need any idiot light to tell me a tire has gone low. I feel that in the seat of my pants.
Now my wife is a whole other matter. She called me a couple years ago telling me the car had no power. I knew what was wrong long before i got to where she was. There was parts of tire all over the bloomin road and she was pretty pink about it.
I just swapped cages with her and let her go. I slapped on a the spare and went for a new tire.
Later when she would find a reason to berate me i got to wag the finger, which got her in controll.
She tends to be a lead foot driver anyway. I found the fix for that was to pull the speedo (cable drive still) hook it to a drill motor on the bench, and run the drill to check speed. Stop the drill and pull the needle, start the drill and install the needle 10 mph to fast and install the speedo back in the car. That works. LOL
Good to know. Vehicles prior to 2008 MY are not subject to the federally-mandated law about TPMS. My '5 GM has one and it was painlessly defeatable. The '8 absolutely refused to have its TPMS disabled; so I did the ultimate mod, a small piece of black electrical tape ...
There is a big difference between Ohio and California highway laws. In Ohio, a drunk driver is a drink driver no matter how you cut it and they are at fault in a accident if they blow over the legal limit.
Civol law in evry stae starts out at 50-50 fault when the trial starts. That is why rewards as to fault is much different than if insuranace settles the civil damage faults.Drunk driver maybe given a higher pre ceantge but a car running a ried light hitting a drunk driver will endup with a large per centage.

Just A little FYI
