Finally got my first set of summer tires+wheels installed! Took a pic the other day at night:)

I was gonna have the TireRack recommended installer installs my tires, but since they need spacers in the front, they didn't want to take liability to install that. So this gave me the opportunity to installing the tires/wheels myself on my first car.

How does the TPMS work? I purchased another four new sensors and the autoshop people have already put them in the tires/wheel. I heard I need to reprogram them with a tool I can get on tirerack, but I also found today that the pressure gauge is actually changing, so does this mean the sensors are working even without being reprogrammed?

Another thing, while I am pretty sure I installed them correctly, is there a simply way I can test if the tires/wheels are perfectly OK?

I got the same wheels from tire rack for my winter set up, bought the black lugs from CJ pony parts for a cleaner look.

I actually bought the wheels from APEX. I haven't got a chance to put the central part on them

I got Michelin Pilot Super Sports 285/35/18 square set-up. The handling is great
