    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    No rubbing on the caliper or the struts there is about 3" of clearance between the strut and the tire but these wheels came with center caps that do not work and our trucks but I think it looks better without them.

    The wheels are Granite Alloy GA9 Flat Black w/Mach Lip the specs
    15x10"
    BS 3.74"
    -44mm offset

    These rims are being closed out at TireRack.com the 15x10's are 99.00 bucks right now. I think I'm going to pick up 2 or 3 more for backups.

    Yeah I saw the 15X10's for 18% off normal price.... I hope they're still there by the time I have the money hahaha. My lift just came today so that's getting installed soon. Now to look for tires

    I was just looking at these at tirerack.com when I searched and found your thread here.

    I noticed they had an 'important note' link under the GA-9. It says:

    "Only OE TPMS sensors from OE alloy wheels will fit in the alloy wheels we sell. Sensors from OE steel wheels will not work in alloy wheels. The OE alloy wheel TPMS sensors are available for purchase from us. New TPMS sensors must be initialized at the dealer. This charge is not included in the cost of the sensors. If TPMS sensors are not installed in the wheels, the TPMS light will flash for 1 to 2 minutes and then stay permanently illuminated. An audible chime may also be heard at start-up."

    ...and then to get new TPMS sensors, it costs $288.

    I'm pretty new to any sort of wheel replacement. When I stopped in at 4 wheel parts, the guy there made it sound like they could pull and use the sensors from my current wheels. So, would I actually have to buy the $288 sensors? BTW, I have the original steel wheels.

    Thanks.
