You can take it anywhere. The feds have mandated TPMS for all newly manufactured vehicles. Any good tire shop can handle TPMS wheels. My local shop is well aware of TPMS equiped vehicles.

Its lower, its possible you'll damage it if you drive it like a jeep and it is the preferred way of purchasing your car. I sure did! M Apearance package too...lower airdam. AND I live in NYC. Its the right look and ride. Otherwise, get a mercedes or audi.
Very true!! Sports package is a must, this is a driving machine...
