I've perused through alot of post about rims and tires and they ALL look great! Deciding on a set is very difficult. But makes it even more difficult is not knowing how much they would cost.
How about a post with aftermarket rims AND posting how much (ball park figures) you paid for the setup? I think this will help alot of newbies (me) here with their decision making. Like off the bat, what would a set 19" Miro's cost with tires? (the cheapest tires you could possible get away with) And could you remove your current tpms and have them installed in the new wheels?

^^^Check the vendor forums - At least one vendor already has posted prices for complete Miro packages (about 2k I think). In fact, I'd say 2 grand is the minimum for a brand new set of wheels (rims and tires) with many types costing much more - OEM 166 wheels NIB are 2k for rims only.
Yes - you can swap the TPMS from your current wheels to the new ones. Keep in mind that a tire shop will charge a fee to dismount/mount each tire. So unless you have a hook-up or free access to a tire changer you will end up spending at least $100 swapping sensors and/or tires.

Yes, right under the Private Member classifieds.
You should probably just look buying new TPMS if you don't have the hook-up (as mentioned). You can usually find a used set on the boards from $90-150 (OEM and Aftermarket). That's the route I went just thinking of the hassle of pulling them off my existing wheels to reuse on the new set I just ordered. Unless of course your tires are still in good shape and the new wheels you ordered are the same size.. then it'd make sense to reuse.
