www.tirerack.com You pick out the tires/ rims you like and call to see if the TPMS sensors they carry will fit them. Figure that to add another $400 to the price of the rims/tires. If you do not get the sensors you will have a small light on the dash .

There are a LOT of wheels now that take the TPMS sensors - these for example. The wheel vendor came to the lot and installed them in the driveway (along with the sensors).

20x8.5 Front
20x10 Rear

If anyone remembers "Budaman" from last year, this is what he is driving around in now.

I have a few more pictures of the car. If there is any interest, I'll put them up on Webshots to view.

Link is http://community.webshots.com/user/traypryor - also in the signature. Look for the album titled "Budaman's RX-8 with 20's"

In many cases the stock sensors will fit with new rims. Most of the members on this forum who have purchased aftermarket rims have had success with the stock sensors fitting; myself included. Just tell us what rims you are interested in, and somebody probably has them installed and can tell you if the sensors work or not.

My sensors were put on my new wheels without a problem at all. I watched them do it and it seems they would fit on any wheel that has a flat surface on the back side of the hole your valve stems goes through. -T
