Winter wheels+tires+tpms

[mackmoot]

Picked up some Fast EV6 wheels for the Nokian R5 EV tires. For TPMS sensors I usually get some programmable Autels and clone the originals, since I have the programmer tool and that's always been the easiest way to have 2 sets of wheels. But this car was the easiest and cheapest BY FAR - I got some Volvo OEM sensors (part#80004372, only $20/ea!), then didn't have to program anything, they just worked automagically.

I wish the new wheels were painted a brighter silver, they're dark gray which is boring. And I'm not a big fan of the piano/mirror black plastic panels on the OEM and FastEV wheels. They scrape and scratch so easily. At least the OEM covers come off and on super easily, but the FastEV covers are a finicky pain the butt.

Also, if we're going to have cheap plastic parts covering our wheels, there should be cheap replacements available, AND in all colors and finishes! An easy and fun way to jazz up our wheels and customize our rides...
