    Hello everyone, has anyone changed out their wheels on an 11 gt 500?
    I just bought the super snake wheels and the tire pressure monitor won't go off. anyone have an idea of how to reset?

    Welcome bumperjackmx. What color is your GT500?

    Did you retain the sensor monitors to be put on the new wheels when there wre switched?

    It's competition white with flat black stripes. reminds me of the old police cars.
    it's very bad looking

    The new rims came with new pressure monitors, all came from Late Model Restorations.

    Because your new wheels came with new sensors you are going to have to take the car to a capable tire store or to a Ford dealer to have the TPMS system learn the new sensors. No way around it.

    It sounds like maybe the computer needs to be flashed to read the new sensors. Or perhaps a disconnect and reconnect of the battery would seek out the new sensors. I would think that that any Ford dealer should be able to answer the question.

    That's pretty much what I said except disconnecting the battery will not fix the problem bumperjackmx has.
