Goodies in the mail

Had them installed today, the lighting outside was the suck so the pictures did not come out good. +1 to Chris from F1motorsports, really knowledgeable and good guy to work with. The shipment came with everything that I need to put the wheels on. I'm not sure but I'm guessing he even threw in the TPS because after the wheel install my TPS light did not come on. One question though, what are the aluminum rings for? They have a label on them 73.1x66 on them....

Well, besides that here are the pictures, 19" Volks SF Challenges.

Thank you very much for the comments, I'll make sure to install the rings and as for the TPMS light, they still haven't come on after 30 minutes of driving so I'm hoping that they do have the sensors already installed. Thanks again for the kind words.

You definitely want to put the hubcentric rings on. I heard plastic was better due to dissimilar metal corrosion. Mine are plastic.

My TPS light doesn't come on until after 50 mi of driving. about an hour or so. otherwise it's off whenever i start the car.
yea sane thing happens to me too ..

Looking sweeeet . . . Gotta love those wheels.

My Winnings came with plastic hubcentric rings. They definitely take the guess work out of centering the wheel onto the hub prior to applying the lug nuts.

F1 MotorSports.........

Yea, Chris at F1 is good peeps. Volk should send instructions with their wheels about sensors and the centering rings. Make sure you install the
rings, they center your wheels on the hub....important stuff! I installed
the OEM wheel sensors in my Volks and they work perfectly....zero issues.

just got a pm from chris...i guess you can have tpms but you have to modify the wheel. you have to drill it but if someone doesn't know what they're doing, they can fudge it up.
