Just got my Winnings
Just got them on today i will post some picture. Im only concern about one thing tho..My tire persure light just keeps on comming on. Chris at f1 told me not to worry about it because you could tell me when your tire is low on air jsut by looking at it. Yeah...it was a long story with that. I dont think the tire presure thing is even accurate. Ill post pictures tomarrow.
ps. also do i have to get an alignment?

Well, if you install aftermarket rims most likely your tire pressure sensor will not function properly. It will either go off or not show at all, no biggy just make sure you check your tire pressure weekly to see there at the right #. Mines roughly 35, so i check every Sunday to see if its at 35. About the alignment did you drop it with springs at the same time? If you did wait a while for your springs to settle in then do an alignment - if your not planning to drop anytime soon then yeah go get an alignment done.

I have the SF-Winnings on my G as well and love them. Congrats by the way! It is always good to do an alignment just to make sure you are still within spec. The reason they may have said you don't need one is because you may not have change the overall diameter of your wheels going from stock to aftermarket. It is good to keep it the same so your speedo reads correctly You should be ok with out an alignment but you never know. With cost of tires it might just be good to have it done. Does the car seem to drive differently, pull or anything?
As far as the tire pressure, just keep and eye on it. Like Mrjonang said weekly. Usually the actual stock rim has the gauge inside on the rim. Since you no longer have your stocks on, that feature is no longer...

SF winnings are sweet! Congrats!
Don't worry about your TPS not working... I put on SF Challenges not to long ago and my guage goes off every now and again as well... The sensor is not on your new wheels and it senses that from time to time giving you a false reading. The good thing is when the ight goes on that annoying beep does not accompany it.
Get some pics man, we wanna see!!

Congrats, I just had mine installed yesteraday. I bought them from someone on the forums and got them in about a week.
I was wondering why the light didn't come on for me...not a single beep from the sensor. I thought if there weren't any it would go off right away.
Anyways, nice choice, I'm definitely enjoying mine. I have 19x8.5 and 9.5 with 245/275...I wanted the wider rims (9.5 and 10.5), but I didn't want to have to wait for 3+ months.
Lets see the pics!!!

I do plan on lowering my car, but I'll probably tuck the tires a bit more than most. OTOH, if I have to roll my rear fenders, I will.
Seems like a lot of you have SF Winnings, but still no pictures...
