Tell me... I am I cheap or impatient?
I am looking to purchase LTZ 20s and I keep hitting dead ends… Most claim to be take offs with less than XX miles ect. 99.999999% do not have TPS included.
So for me, I would have to remove the old TPS and move them to the 20s… That’s additional cost... I plan to go to the dealer to get the tires programmed and they charge about $20 a wheel to swap the sensor ect on 18+ size wheels. (I’ll have to break the 17s & 20s down and have the sensors placed in the 20s)
All this and the prices are $1500-$1700…
What should I expect to pay for take-offs with sensors..? (My only supplier is Ebay)

Have you checked with the local dealers to see if they have a set of take-off 20's?
I have also seen several sets at local tire shops, you may want to ask the local dealers which tire shop they deal with for wheel/tire upgrades, many dealers no longer mess with tires and wheels in house.
I would expect to pay $1,200 - $1,500 for new take-off's.

I just bought the polished 20"s on ebay yesterday for $1445.00 Shipped. I expect to pay at least $100-$200 more to switch the TPS over from my stock 17"s. If the total comes to around $1,700-$1800 I think it was worth it. When I purchased my 'Hoe I asked the Dealer about upgrading to the 20"s and they said it was a $4,000 option/upgrade. I think I'llbe O.K. saving over $2,000 and going through the hassle of TPS switchover. I guess you have to be willing to pay a little to look good! Good Luck with your search, it took me over a month on EBay to get the deal I wanted. I think most auctions averaged around 1700 after shipping the past few weeks. I got lucky.

I am solid with $1700 shipped. but that is the line in the sand... Oddly, I had to lose 4 auctions before it got to $1700 figure... Good Luck with your new wheels!! Let me know what to actual cost is on the sensor swap...

Why not buy some more sensors. I have seen them on ebay for $129 for all. That would be great to be able to switch back and forth, especially for winter driving. You are going to spend at least $80 in labor to switch them.

buffering in the cost labor to swap... the cost of extra TPS and that I live in FL.... I am looking for complete take off that are ready to roll... If I can dump my stock 17 with a few miles w/ 07 TPS for a couple hundred - all the better... Its my wife's hoe

Picked up my polished 20's from the service manager. New take offs, less than 20 miles. I got them for $1,000 installed and programmed.

If you are patient, you can find some great deals on Ebay. But I would contact your service manager or sales manager at a dealership like Biglg did - that way you could get a complete package price. Good luck
