New to forum - need some info

[4.6SUNSETGOLD]

Hello Folks,

I just joined the forum today. There seems to be a ton of good info here !

I have 2010 Sunset Gold GT 4.6 and I am wanting to upgrade to a new set of wheels. I am considering the 19" V6 Performance Package wheels that have the black background and also the 19" Black Foose Speed wheels. I have a few questions.

1. On the 19" V6 Performance Package wheels, is there anywhere I can purchase a new set of these other than the dealer ? The CA Special wheels can be had on EBAY for around $800 delivered but the PP wheels seem to be hard to find new. There is an company called HH Auto that sells reconditioned PP wheels.....anyone have any experience with them ?
2. On the 19" black Foose Speed wheels, I have found a set of them on EBAY for a good price. I found a post on this forum from KYStang615 and Gtstyles2 that had some good picts. Are there any fitment issues that anyone is aware of such as having to use adapters and also what about the OEM tire pressure sensors ? Will they fit on these wheels ?

Thanks for any advice or info !

Are you running the pro springs or sport line?

The pro kit with the eibach shocks/struts I'm running the staggered wheels 245/45/20 and 275/30/20

My mistake... this is the rear wheel size

[wnt2gofst]

Why you want to put v6 wheels on?

Second go with 18's or 20's. Lots more wheel selection.

As above also a lot more tire selection. And they are cheaper then 19's.

Example I just ordered nitto invisible for my car. All for tires mounted balanced everything for 900.

When had 19's same set was going to be 1400.

Oh and above leave fleabay alone.

I never understood why 19s are more expensive than 20s??

Simply because there are less options because it's a less popular size. I believe most companies feel 18 is a good size and most people would rather upgrade to a 20 rather than a 19. Just my 2 cents.

Pretty much..19's used to only come on euro cars..20's was a huge hit 10 years ago and became popular enough a lot of cars even come standard with 20's.

Thanks for the replies. I agree that 19" wheels and tires are allot harder to find.

Any fitment issues with the Foose wheels, adapters req'd etc ?

Will the OEM TPMS sensors fit ?

[SpectorV]

check on latemodelrestoration.com if you want OEM prices call tousleyfordparts.com

[4.6SUNSETGOLD]

Thanks for the info.

I checked at the Ford place using the part number BR3Z-1007-H.......$475 each + $50 core charge.......no surprise but Yikes ! That is the best price so far for new OEM wheels however. I really like the black V6 PP wheels but not that much

I will keep tousleyfordparts.com in mind the next time I need OEM parts.

Guess I'd better be looking into the aftermarket for some wheels

I have bought from latemodelrestoration.com before. That's where I bought my California Special front valance at. Good folks and great service !

I was able to reuse the OEM sensors

Thanks for the info.

Great looking ride you have.

The red with those wheels looks awesome

So if I just put some wheels on a month ago I can use an old sensor from my stock wheels or do I need to go to the dealer and get them to stop my car from saying "tire pressure monitor fault"?

I got my wheels done at a reputable shop that does wheels and they told me they removed the factory sensors and put them on the new wheels and I never seen my tire light come on... did u change ur wheels and have the light stay on??

take that same part number (the OEM ford one) call tousleyfordparts.com just to compare, they usually have the BEST deals. Ask for the 10% forum discount (just say forum discount no specific forum)

I guess I should take her to a shop and try to get that done. I put the wheels on myself and that's when the light came on. They are balanced and stuff fine, just didn't have a sensor on them.

[SpectorV]

the sensors have to be "mapped" or what ever you may just have to get that done
