I like my black rattlecan painted CSS wheels more every time I see them.
I'm considering selling the SS stockers and getting another CSS set for summer.
We have an excellent powdercoater in town so I'll get a price to decide PC or rattlecan.

Rattlecan looks decent if done well, but I doubt it will last for more than a year without chipping and peeling. Powdercoat is much more durable.

Agreed!! Winter/salt will destroy the paint

I think they will look good, I almost got the same ones but I can't see swapping the SS wheels for ones just as heavy or heavier with a different design.

They look great.

Tire rack offers the TPMS for $135
I got mine at http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=330383739178

These are the exact same as mine
He listed some more for $70 but This link is from following his relisted link from my auction.
He bounces around on the price a bit but here they are for $50 + $10 shipping
10 days, 23 hours left on the auction.

Mine work fine, they were programmed to my car at the dealer and read about 2 lbs less than reality.
In other words: when my DIC says 30 PSI, I know they're really at 32 PSI.

Here is a pic. I found awhile back, of a SS with black rims. not sure whose it is, but really like the look, especially lowered, with the silver around the rims.
Thinking about doing the same thing to my SS, before long. Looks racy. "Moon'
