In my opinion any factory wheel is better than a cheap cast wheel..I have bought eagle or boss in the past, but never again..At minumum I would spend money on Centerlines..But think brands like Intro, Bonspeed,and H.R.E are top notch......

Quick fix for that is this. Get a piece of PVC pipe, threaded on both ends but large enough to fit all 4 tire sensors in. Thread in a air valve so you can pressure up the pvc with all 4 sensors inside of it. Now, toss it under your back seat and forget its there.

so when you are programming the system it will just pick a sensor? You would just have to pressure the cylinder and release pressure 4 times?

That doesn't work....

I'm pretty sure you can put sensors in those wheels.

Aren't all the Boss wheels made in the US? Pretty sure they are. Have their 330's on my crew cab. The quality & finish of the wheels themselves are very good. The big downsides are they are not concentric and the polished rim on this series anyways is not clear coated. So finding the right metal centering ring for your hub is crucial. The lack of clear coating on the rim is a huge PITA. They look horrible quickly and it's tough to keep ahead of. If i'd known that in advance i'd likely have gone in a different direction.

If you can figure out how, let me know....my favorite wheels on the nnbs.... tried a band kit and everything....it just rolls down the wheel making it where you cant get the bead of the tire over.... we tried everything to make it work...
