Default Silver HFP wheels, question...

I really like the silver HFP wheels better than the carbon bronze ones... but they say '2008 models only'. I am assuming this has to do with the TPMS. (Tire Pressure Management System). From past TPMS units I have seen they are typically little boxes attached to the valve stem on the inside of the wheel. Wouldn't it be possible to just replace that with typical valve stems and continue on with life?

That actually looks pretty good. Still need to see them on a NHBP civic though to be certain.

I think they look good, but will be better on certain colors. Just like the bronze, it doesn't make every color of civic look great all at the same time.

Wow, he's nice. I would have just thrown a **** fit if someone scratched my new wheel at the dealership and made them switch it out.

It looks like they just changed the hue on the whole car to make it blue. I think I'd like those HFP's on my GG

Edit: It's supposed to be red!
