Dont freak out lol.. when i dropped all the money on my IS it had that to, mine also came with rims.

Its just because you removed the sensors from the tires that monitor tire pressure, they are called TPMS. You either need to put them back in, or put them in your spare.

I heard from a tire specialist that those iForged TPMS adapters are prone to breaking, and that the best solution for non-TPMS compatible wheels is to drill. Can anyone corroborate this?
