I called TireRack. These are the most expensive TPMS sensors they have ever seen, $700! I just ordered a set of winter tires, 225/50/18 Blizzaks at an amazing price. $200 less than the stupid sensors. Looks like I will be swapping tires on and off the rims I have. I was hoping to use the OEM rims for winter use, but for $700 I can swap them over 3-4 times, trash my aftermarket rims and still come out ahead, now that's nuts. Why oh why would Suzuki do something this incredibly bad, most sensors are less than $200 for a set of 4. Insult to injury, they require a dealer reset even if you did get another set for your winter rims, which probably costs near what mount and balance cost are. IDIOTS!

In case you were not looking at my other thread, TireRack did some research and found $50 sensors that are a direct replacement. Ask for Rudy ext 664.
Thanks sloopercat!!

i most likely to have the silver colored steel wheels unlike the black one, its much visible during night time.purpleanga wrote:So I'm trying to decide on the rims... if I should go with one of these two. I looked at the RRM steel wheel for the Kizashi and they are very nice, however they come out to be about 1600 with tires. These are almost half the price. By the way, I have the platinum silver color. I like the RRM silver/chrome style but I'm afraid that silver on sliver would look too pretty. I don't want a show room style look. I'm leaning towards the black rims on sliver as it would look a little more sporty and gritty. Plus, they aren't all black, they have the machined lip which would give a little contrast with the tires.
