TSW 20" Bronze Wheels Installed!

[Mach-Tony]

Just got my wheels put on! I was a little worried because no one could confirm fitment but I researched what should fit and gave it a shot. These are actually bronze but look different in the sun. Wheels and lug nuts bought from Custom Wheel Outlet and tires/tpms from Tire Rack and a good price! No centering rings were needed because bolt pattern was hub centric.

Wheels specs:

20"x8.5" with +40 offset 72.1 CB TSW Neptune Rotary Forged (24lbs) with 245/45ZR20 Kumho Majesty 9 Solace
Small diameter black lug nuts with locknuts to be installed soon
New TPMS sensors that auto-programed

FYI - the new sensor IDs are automatically learned, but the position on the car is not.

Do you have an FYI on how to set them? I imagine there should be something in the manual with letting air out and it learning.

Update, I was able to program the locations of the TPMS thanks to @generaltso !

First drive of 32 miles, about 25 of that freeway, looks to be about a 10% loss of efficiency. The handling seems much better though! I don't feel like I'm about to slip when going around turns, which was one of the major downsides of the stock wheel setup. Ride doesn't really seem much bumpier but you can feel the road a little more.

Overall, I like it! Definitely worth the 10% loss for a different look and wider wheel. Also, the 245/45R20 tires seem to be cheaper than the stock 225/55R19, which will help offset the 10%.
