Here are the new wheels mounted. Have to admit still getting used to the new wheels with bolts. What do you guys think leave the bolts silver or go black?

You don't have to dismount or remove the TPMS sensor to install

I did the same when I painted my IS F wheels black. It definitely makes a difference in the appearance! I fretted over black vs. silver lugs too. I kept the silver...

Where did you get the F valve stem caps? Were they black, or did you paint them too?

I like the black bolts! Definitely agree on the valve stem saps too, they're just that little bit extra.

The seller says they're stainless steel. Is that accurate?
