Shadow Black Work GS4s

Wiggins3377 · 05-12-2012, 12:06 PM

Finally took delivery of my GS4s today (it's been a long three months) and they are amazing, but I have two issues and one question. 1) the rivets are polished silver, and they are supposed to be black to match the center of the wheels and 2) the center caps are also polished silver and again should be black. Mark (from RavSpec) can we get this fixed? As for my question, I'm assuming the drilled holenear the back of the barrel is for TPMS, can you please confirm? Added some pics as a tease(sorry for shitty ipad photos) going to get tires mounted today more to come.

I think the tpms goes in the valve stem.

Awesome wheels

Alright, each wheel has two holes (one for regular valve stem and the other for TPMS). According to the directions the TPMS goes in the hole near the back of the barrel, but my installer believes the TPMS sensor will break during mounting. Has anyone had this problem? Are you able to flip the TPMS location and the valve stem location?

Hey, I m checking with Japan now on the black caps + rivets. Please take pics of the caps for me.

U need to find another installer. Run as fast possible. They have no idea how to do aftermarket wheel.

The front valve stems are angled. Cuz it need to come out of the face.

TPMS stay at the back. Can't switch.

Sweet wheels. I got mine in yesterday too. I sent an email about the caps. I got black with bronze lip

As you know, the front and rear wheels are different sizes on a stock Z. The front hubs have a bolt head sticking out which fits into the hole in the wheel. The rear wheels do not have that hole, and so cannot accidentally be mounted on the front. It has nothing to do with the TPMS.

Also, I totally agree with you on the bolt heads: the wheel would look better if they were black, IMO.

RavSpec · 05-13-2012, 11:13 PM

Hey guys:

Yeah not sure why Japan include silver caps. Send those back and I'll send the black one over.
