| Post subject: | Limited wheels |
I'm only putting this in the general forum because I'm not sure what I want to do yet but wanted to get some feedback I really want a lift and new wheels (soft 8's), but don't know what to do first. I know as soon as I get the lift I'll want to go bang around but don't want to mess up the wheels if I do. So I'm thinking of getting new wheels first. How much of an interest is there in a full set (5 near perfect) of the 16" limited alloy wheels. I was thinking of putting them up for $200+ shipping. would I have more luck on ebay? any ideas? takers? Like I said this isn't 100% yet I'm not sure what route I'll go. |

Keep the factory rims with some good daily driving tires on them,get the steelies and mount some offraod tires for when you want to go play.That way with 2 sets of rims/tires you get the best of both worlds,great offroad traction and no need to worry about breaking a alloy rim,then throw the stocks on for better around town ride and mpg's without wearing out your $$$$ offroad tires. |

I'd thought of that but honestly I like the look of the cragars much better so they probably would never come off anyway. And for now I won't be buying very expensive tires anyway so i'm not to worried about wearing them out. |

I sold my limited wheels for around $200 but they did come with some 245 goodyear MTR's with some life still on them. |

really you might want to consider this I use my AT's for around town and MT/R's for wheelin, the MT/R's are loud, eat up gas, roughen the ride and annoy my wife when she wants to drive the jeep (wait that last one wasnt necessarily a bad thing) anyways I would get some cheap AT's, I got a full set at DT for 600 mounted and balanced, then use any extra for some nice offroad wheels. |

yea, youre going to get a light on your dash saying you need pressure sensors everything you start your Jeep.. Its really fun if I may say so. 
Ive heard of people taking the sensors and putting them in a pipe and then putting pressure on the pipe. Just keep the pipe in the Jeep so the jeep can get a reading. |

It measures pressure why would it matter what they are mounted to? (or in, as jeepster suggested a pipe) |

The sensors for the 05+ libertys may work in steel wheels. The problem with the sensors I have in my 04 liberty, you must train each sensor with a magnet. This allows the jeep to know which tire is which so it can give you the reading for that tire on the evic. If you have a steel wheel, the magnet will not work thus not allowing you to train each sensors. Someday if I get bored, I MAY cut one of the valve stems out of my cragars and see if it will work. But then I would need to get a valve stem put back in that rim.. I looked into buying extra sensors for the cragars and they cost to much. More so if I didnt know they would work..
