any know if they sell metal valve stems (non TPMS) for either the sport 19's or nismo 19 wheels?

are the valve stem holes in the wheels a special diameter or anything?

Nice! I'm still waiting for my cup holder mount thingy. I did come up with an idea to mount the mic with the GoPro. I just need a thin piece of metal to make an L bracket.

hahahaha!!!

looking at the prius wheel in the guys' blog, i think factory wheels use this one.. 409 or the S409. it comes with 2 grommets and is a reverse mount type like the TPMS valves (nut on the outside of wheel...dangling and such).

Today I mounted on the rear hatch glass. I'll check the video later to see how it looks. I didn't care for the distraction it caused while looking in the rear view mirror.

The 409/409s look close. Are you not going to run TPMS on the new wheels?

Man I'm behind for being gone a couple of hours. Went to Trudy's with the wife to celebrate last day on the job. Apparently we might be celebrating even more - we're at the Acura dealership letting them appraise the Honda after test driving an ILX. A 2.0L 150hp car is not quite what I was expecting but it's really a decent little car. The wife is quite pleased with it, so I am as well.

PS Gale, I asked the wife about Grandma Stranger - definitely hesitant at first but I think I could get an ok after a night out on the town if I feed her the proper beverages

ahh! looking forward to your vid. did you try using your zoom as a mic/preamp?

considering the rattles i get in the audio from the headrest bars, i think that's a good location if you can get enough front view. since my audio input is from the tascam in the cupholder mount, there's no rattles in my audio, but when i plug the real sony mic with a L-adapter i hear rattles. it's not too bad but just annoying.

yah, i think the 409 should work. i dont like running TPMS and i currently dont run them in my WEDS. so yah, i dont plan on running in the new set.
