Imatk Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Tousley Ford Parts Depot has the TPMS kit with activation tool for a 2012 GT500 for $140 plus shipping. Part # TPMSKIT. These will fit the Alcoa's and work with the 2013 GT500. These are the plastic sensors that come standard in the 2012 GT500's and are only recommended for 2012 GT500 speeds. Tried this but TPMSKIT doesn't come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I just gotta ask....WHY ON EARTH is the C*F*O of the company involved in this (being a CFO myself)??? I sign the checks but the last thing I'm gonna do is my COO's job! Phill Keith worked hard with me to make this deal happen, so we had him in the photo.THAT's why.

Snoopy49 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Tried this but TPMSKIT doesn't come up. You have to call the order in, 800-328-9552, the part number is for in house use only. Ask for Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer Well fellows, you should all take a bow for making the impossible, possible. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's also more than impressive going the extra mile with respect to quality control - inspecting every wheel as well as the extra boxing. Which other company does that? Looking forward to having a set of Forged Shelby Alcoas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also more than impressive going the extra mile with respect to quality control - inspecting every wheel as well as the extra boxing. Looking forward to having a set of Forged Shelby Alcoas. Thanks! The extra boxing is neccessary to ensure everyone gets their wheels undamaged. We insure the outgoing shipments, of course, but a refund for a shipping damage claim isn't going to help anyone when the wheels are so hard to replace. So we made the decision.

Snoopy49 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Jer, Is it cheaper to ship the wheels too a business rather than a residential address? CA address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewnagle1964 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 If they are coming UPS than the answer is yes. It is "slightly" cheaper, if memory serves like $5 a package to a business over residential. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 $3,500 is a deal. Look at this and it is on this site. http://www.teamshelb...y/#entry1381737 Classy guy.

IASHELBYGT Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Jer, I pre-ordered a set on Oct 1st, which I think was the 1st day they were available. When should I plan on hearing something? Sorry, I'm impatient. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sincitykid Posted November 19, 2012 Report Share Posted November 19, 2012 Jer, Is it cheaper to ship the wheels too a business rather than a residential address? CA address. Generally yes, but not always. And sometimes the difference is almost insignificant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy49 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 What size and brand of tires did you use? What are your thoughts on fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7ONE7 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I used Toyo Proxes 4 Plus all season tires, 255/35/20 and 295/30/20. They fit perfect in my opinion. The rears are just flush with the body and look quite a bit wider than the Goodyears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
