I think this is to make them TPMS compatable? My work rims where set up this way for the TPMS.

Anyway I like these rims! Good choice it was one that I was considering myself.

CHICAGO IS PULLING THRU!!!

You have 10 days to our meet to slap them on!!!

For TPMS check Ebay!! I found a NEW set for 100$

The wheels are going on Friday. If I can't find a good deal on TPMS until then I'll just use the ones from my winter setup. I'll post pictures once I get the wheels installed.

OK, the wheels are on but the weather here has been so crappy and the car is so dirty that I don't even want to take pictures. They look awesome though. It's supposed to be nice Monday, so I'll wash the car, take pictures and post them here Monday.

I had the wheels installed at Discount Tire and they did a great job. Not a single scratch. I talked to the guy and he said that he once installed wheels that were $2000 each..... he said that he had to have a cigarette before he started the install.
