Guys I have aftermarket wheels on my car 20" Drag DC1's

I have had them on for about 2-3 weeks now, and have had no probs...

But jsut now while i was takin a drive that car is saying I have a flat tire??? but I checked all 4 tires and they are hard as rocks???

Whats wierd is I wnet to the place i got them on, on Saturday and I made the guy check the tire presure on one of the wheels cause he said he was iffy on that wheel and he checked it and said it was fine, he also said if it hasn't leaked by now it won't....

I dunno if i really do have a flat but by the looks and feel of the tires I would not suspect it in hte least... has anyone had this problem???

I would take it to the dealer and have them check it. The FTM may have a problem or just have to be reset.

I agree with Jimbo. You may have had different pressures or somthing when you initialized the FTM. Or maybe you didnt do it after the new rims. Check it with a guage and then do a reset of the FTM.

I had a wheel changed at the VDC and had the same message. You just need to re-initialize the FTM. Its in the i-drive in FTM settings.

I think Jimbo has you on the right track. A lot of the malfunctions are self-correcting, in my experience. BTW, I'd tame those foggies before Ice gets on your case.
