My little project

Trdguy2001 said:
Still waiting for my wheels man. Current stock wheels won't clear the bbk. I'm pretty bummed about the wait time from iss forged..keep telling me next week, next week. But I am thinking my patience will be worth it once I get them on. I'll post pics as soon as it's ready..

How big do the rims have to be exactly in order to have a BBK fit?
 
Finally got the wheels in and should be installed today or tomorrow..I will post pics asap. Also what have those of you with aftermarket wheels been doing about the TPMS. My tech has told me I can not use my factory ones (even though iss forged said I could). How have yall been dealing with that? If i dont put them in the new rims won't I have a light that comes on in the dash? Can I disable it?

Should work fine. I just recently got aftermarket wheels and the tech transferred the TPMS over perfectly. Did the tech give a reason why?
 
He said they won't fit. The sensors he said are vertical and with these tires they will break, because you have to put the tires over them..I'm a bit confused myself. they are 40 series tires..i'm confused as well, i really don't want to driev around with these error lights in my dash.

It all depends on where the tire valve is. The wheels are not TPMS friendly, so you need to buy adapters:

I don't know which one will work for you. I actually have a set:

I could sell to you if you're interested. I just can't be certain it will work.
 
Well to fix the problem we just drilled a hole into the back of the wheel..the tech said we should be good to go :)

Damn those look good! You should come out to a meet some time so we can check them out.

Definitely need a fx meet up in Houston..Car should be ready tomorrow, doing springs and all that other stuff..didn't want to rush the tech. Thanks for the compliments. I didn't really know what to expect since these wheels have never been made before, I really like the rivets. I think it says aggressive but also luxury at the same time. Kinda like the fx itself. Will post pics tomorrow..stay tuned
 
That's another way to do it. You will have two valve stems. Glad you figured it out.

Wow, sweet wheels.

sorry bout pic quality..ill post high res later..gotta get it detailed etc..belive it or not though it is dropped..should be lower once it settles..bbk are great haven't really slammed on the brakes or anything but they feel good. A lot of road noice from the wheels though..hopefully it will be less after the tires are "broken in?" thoughts, comments are welcome..

Wow those look awesome! Nice choice in color, also love the bbk. What ate the specs of your wheels?

Sent from my Behold II
 
They are 22x10 in the front and 22x10.5 in the back. Didn't get the 4.5 inch rear lip I paid for but, we are going to see what happens with ISS Forged..Beyond that I am a happy camper. You will see some pics soon on iss forged site or facebook soon..Suppose to do some shoot..
 
I like them a lot.. BBK fills it up nicely as well.. While you may think the drop is not noticeable, I notice it a lot.. After putting on 22's with 265 tires my wheel gap is like the grand canyon..

As for not getting the 4.5" lip you asked for, ISS would have to work out a compromise with you... With the kind of cash you put down on these that type of error is not acceptable.

You should smoke the tails and paint the headlight shrouds black to complete the look.
