Bought 4 wheels without sensors etc. how much this going to cost me?

[weider1717]

Wheels were thought to include these equipment this is for a 2007 gt500. I am not that familiar with all these equipment I am seeing sensors, "bands", blue plastic clips etc.

What all is needed exactly and how much should 4 sets of OEM equipment run? thanks guys

$225 from American Muscle for the kit- 4 sensors and the tool to program them. That year uses valve stem sensors.

Thanks, I'll check it out is this OEM equipment? I'll look. no worries. After some research looks like 2007 came with blue sensors and bands which isn't sold on american muscle I will look into eBay to stay original. Learned a little something. Thanks

Pretty much every tire store has these things... I'd check with them first just to see what price they offer.

I wound up paying less at Discount Tire and I don't have to worry about a sensor being bad from the manufacturer (which has happened to me)

No point trying to stay OEM on something that nobody except your tire changer is going to see. And even then, they're going to hit you with a "rebuild" kit. (Basically fleecing you with unnecessary added costs.) I haven't looked in a while, but I believe you can get a set of 4 sensors from Tire Rack for around 80 bucks.

I priced Discount Tire before I bought from American Muscle. DT WAS $65 each. They say if you move a tire to another location- i.e.: rotate- you will need to reprogram the sensor. I thought it was best to get the sensors and the programming tool so I could program myself if needed.

You do have to reprogram if you move them, so the tool is nice in that aspect. But the fact that a GT500 will have staggered rims and more than likely directional tires, I don't foresee you moving a wheel.

Hit up your local tire shop they usually get em cheap and have the tool to program them. 225 seems high for 4 sensors. I think the most expensive sensors ive broke were only 65 a peice

I think they charged me 40 bucks a piece last time I went but I'm not positive... I just remember it was less than it would have been had I ordered them.

I already have the trainer tool from Ford... you can get that for about 20 bucks, but I've never had to use it.

I have 2012 SVTPP wheels on my 2007 GT500. I didn't bother with the sensors so I just deal with the error each time I turn on my car.
