Just curious what website do you guys use for your pony. American muscle or Late model resoration. Or both. Is one website better than the other. Just wondering what most people out there use. Thanks
I've bought from both, but neither of them is a go-to-first site for me, even though I've had generally good experience with both.

I've also used Steeda, MGW, and BMR directly, Vorshlag, Stranoparts, and SCandC for various things, my dealership's parts counter and an independent brick and mortar store for some FRPP stuff, and both Tire Rack and Saferacer for brake pads and rotors. Probably a couple more I'm forgetting.

If you store your old wheels & tires close enough to the car, your car may still be reading them instead. After 20 or 30 miles when they can't pick the old ones up any more is when you get the fault.
I sold the original wheels/tires a few days later, so that wasn't the issue. But, as you mentioned, the car took about 20-30 miles to realize that the sensors weren't present, and threw the code. The real issue is that AM didn't install the TPMS sensors like they were supposed to. I've been trying the stupid learn procedure for hours, and can't get the tool to recognize the sensors. Finally took it to a local tire place, and their fancy TPMS scanner couldn't pick them up. AM screwed up... They are sending me the Ford TPMS sensors, and covering the labor to fix the issue.

I've bought from AM and Beefcake with no issues. LMR is next on my list to purchase from, as soon as all this 'Rona crap is done.

LMR is an hour away from my location and bought lots of parts from them. They used to have a showroom and buy it from the spot. They don’t have showroom anymore, but I can still call and pick it up the same day. I used AM before and didn’t have any problem. That was early 2000’s though.

I’ve purchased stuff from both LMR and AM.
I’m a Canuck and have my parts shipped to Calais Maine and bring them across the border myself (pre Corona and hopefully post Corona). AM charge me Maine state tax (6%) whereas LMR doesn’t. I assume this is because of tax arrangements between Maine and Pennsylvania are different than Maine-Texas.
All else being equal I’ll order from LMR.

Steeda and AM. CJ has a habit of not letting you know when you place the order that it's not in stock.
