Thanks !... yeah, agree. The question is is it worth the expense for 0.55" of rubber extra ?. Also, do I need a 4 wheel alignment ? Also, I have original TPMS and they are starting to fail, I heard new TPMS needs new controller as well ? ...never easy decisions.

it's from Bentley, by a dealer.
I weighed my GTC wheels some weeks ago and the mentioned weigth is bang on.

also: Ek1 posted a thread about SS wheels some week ago.

christian
pg 3 of pdf is confusing, implies CGT ( continental GT ?) only runs 20", i assume GTC is convertable, what is CGTC ?

You shouldn't need an alignment and probably replace the 04/05 TMPS sensors are what they are so you'll need new ones. From 06 onward they used a different TMPS system, which is now standard on many new cars.

davefrom: TPMS life span is about 5 -7 years. When 1 goes the rest are soon to follow. You can just replace one but if given the opportunity I would replace all 4.

ek1: Those Le Mans edition wheels are are BAD A#$. Love the black w/machine face look.
