Sounds like they are a little high on the labor and totally ripping you on the parts.

For the CS16's I just put on, I purchased a set of used BMW OEM TPMS sensors off the web. They came without valves in them. I found out (on my first trip to get the tires mounted) that you can't just use any valve due to the aluminum TPMS stem. I lucked out and my local autoparts store had a TPMS Service/Rebuild kit from NAPA that contains: Valve, locking collar, both style washers (use the flat washer for the Sportlines), rubber seal, screw on plastic cap. I just looked it up online and it looks to be NAPA part# ECH 920261. And this NAPA part is only $3.50 versus $12 for other rebuild kits I've seen (those rebuild kits also have a new valve stem though I think).

I installed the TPMS sensors and the rebuild kits on all four rims and it took me maybe 10 minutes per wheel, and I was being very careful and used a torque wrench as well. There were no fitment issues whatsoever.

Here's a picture of the rebuild kit from NAPA. Googling the NAPA part number doesn't seem to find it. Go to the NAPA site, enter your vehicle and then sort for TPMS and it should find it.

Eiback Pro-kit and Sportline CS16's installed

Ordered a set of four 18x8.5 ET35 Sportline CS16 (19.8 lbs) from Frank at ModBargins on a Saturday and received them the following Thursday. Easy transaction over the phone. I wanted a square setup so I could rotate tires. I also ordered a set of Michelin Pilot SuperSports 225/40/18 from TireRack. The rims came well packaged including double boxing and there was no damage whatsoever. Thanks again to the guys at Modbargins for an easy transaction and quality product.

Picked her up today after install and definitely improvement over the stock BMW Style 201 17x8 ET46 (22.8 lbs). I'll probably need spacers on the rears at some point but at least the awesome PSS's will last longer as I'll be able to rotate the tires. Still have some wheel arch gap but less so. Maybe I should've gone for the 19's but I was put off by all the talk about worsening the ride quality.

LOL sometimes it feels that way. I have moved to the other side of the lake where there are more folks who....apperciate the things that can be obtained from hard work.

Just installed them. Fit perfectly and the weight difference you notice. No rubbing.

Best CSL rep on the market, not to mention lightest.

Has anyone picked up Sportline wheels recently, and if so, where from?
I'm looking to buy a set shortly, and have tried to get ahold of the mfg direct twice so far; they haven't returned my emails. I know the one vendor listed on their site is now banned from here - haven't been on the forum much lately, so not sure what happened there.

The one that sounds like "Rod Margins"… Yeah, not sure what happened, but I've noticed their name is now *'d out in a lot of instances.

Do you think Sportline would offer custom colors? Really want gunmetal.

crazy.

i don't know about custom colors... i imagine they would since they're already powder coating them anyway, but if you're having issues even getting in touch with them it may be less of a headache to just buy them and have them colored on your own.
