The best looking wheel for the Z by far. Not too generic not too bling.

Not sure if anyone here knows but my wheel/tire order hasn't been the most straight forward affair!
Initial promise time was wrong. I received one wheel damaged and had to send it back which prolonged my wait. I was sent back the damaged wheel and have to wait for another wheel that's been ordered. That damaged wheel does cause vibration at highway speeds. Now all the wheels are leaking air! I noticed that when mounting my wheels onto the car that one was flat straight out of the box. I figured maybe the valve stems need tightening and didn't worry about it. Well I've been running the wheels for a week & 2 days and I have to refill my tires every day! My technicians found the base of the TPMS valve stems bubbling even after attempts to tighten. I just spent $60 to have them all be recognized by the car. Now the TPMS works fine (thank goodness) but the tires still keep going flat. I have a seperate hole in the rear of the wheel that holds the TPMS valve stem. I don't want any dumby lights! Rick told me at point of sale that they do this all the time so I went with his recommendation and ordered them this way. Needless to say that I'm over this big time!! I appreciate how Rick handles things but the product I paid for is at this point useless to me. I've tried to call Rick and keep getting that he has stepped out or isn't in. My last call went right to voicemail (and still no call back 3:00 their time). I don't know if the caller ID game has started but this really sucks. I think overall I have been pretty patient. I do appreciate the favor Rick did for me also beacuse of the mess we have had! Now what do I do?? Again, it's been verified that the base of each TPMS valve stem bubbles leaking air with the water test!! Do I go pay a local aftermarket wheel shop to try and break them down and tighten from the inside? Do they need rubber seats like the front valve stems have? To mount and balance these low profile tires can cost $50 to $100 ea. Now what's wrong with that picture?? So that you know what I mean about secondary valve stems see the pics! Here is a shot through the wheel toward the TPMS valve stem. Here is a shot from behind the wheel looking at the TPMS sensor! (flash glare) Here is the actual valve stem designed for this wheel! Any input is appreciated!

Update: Frustration level lowered, I sent the vehicle over to Butler Tire Buckhead and they got inside the tires to tighten down the valve stems. They had to install one missing grommet form my right front wheel which will be replaced eventually anyway!
They said the wheels are now not leaking air. I will check tomorrow with water again! Rick has called with concern and stated he would reimburse me! He stated that they are currently moving showrooms or warehouse, one or the other. The other guys that answered the phone never filled me in on that. One note, Butler tire did say they may work loose again so I may have to go through this again. It's due to the curve of the wheel where the TPMS valve stem is located. These wheels are extremely good quality, it's just the TPMS valve stem that has caused me issues. Rick, thanks for being a nice guy!! I have to deal with upset customers all the time and it does take patience!!
