Hey guys! Its been awhile. I've been pretty busy with real life but I should be on here a lot more once finals are over.
I am extremely excited to tell y'all that I just bought new wheels for Christmas!!!!
I went with staggered Niche Targas in Anthracite, 19x8.5 on the front, 19x9.5 on the back.
Tires are Sumitomo HTR Z III ultra performance
I can't wait to get my hands on them and see them on my car.
The Niches are a little different, leaning more towards import then the classic bullit muscle car wheels, but I really think they will look great. Anthracite should look awesome on the grabber blue!
Let me know what you guys think!

Haha they look the same but those are Velgens. I don't have the kinda $ for those :(
They're ever so slightly different but basically the same exact thing just not the Velgen name. Niche is a quality wheel company, they're still expensive enough as it is lol

And to think the sales rep had convinced me I needed 4 TPMS sensors and the tool. Thanks guys ya just saved me $200!

I will be going with blue small diameter gorilla lug nuts 13/16.
Someone who has niche could maybe clarify for me but I believe I need them this small to not damage the lug nut wells.

As long as you don't mind breaking down the wheels/tires to get to the "old" sensors you can absolutely move them. I wanted to keep my stock set intact to get the most money out of them so I bought a new set of sensors. btw, Tirerack had the full set for $140 and I had Discount Tire price match :)

As for the lugs, surprisingly the stock lug nuts fit the Velgens and the Roush crap already came with locking lugs with a nifty little Roush pouch for the key so I was able to reuse them. It is not really about the lug fitting as it is the socket.... try slipping a 21mm impact socket down the stud hole when you get the wheels. If it fits then you can use stock... if the hole is too small you need to get gorilla.

How do you break them down? Yeah I'm deff gonna get gorillas in blue so I can lock them Sent from my 831C using Mustang Evolution mobile app
"Breaking down" means taking the tires off the wheels.

I had track-pack wheels originally with only 2k miles on them, to get the most money when selling them I wanted to keep it a complete package (wheels,tires,sensors). If your tires are shot or you are going to reuse them on the new wheels then you are already going to break down the old set and will obviously have access to the sensors.

I don't need to remove the tire from the wheel

You have to remove the tire to get to the TPMS sensor. Here is a cut-away pic showing how the sensor is mounted.
