Default To the owners of Work VS-XX -TPMS

Hey guys,

I just ordered Work VS-XX wheels for my car 3-piece. I'm getting different answers on what TPMS adapator sensor to get. To the owners of this kind of wheel, what kind of TPMS sensor adapator did you get for these wheels? Thanks!

The Iforged TPMS bracket adapter worked for me... Iforged also sells a 90 degree adapter as well but that means you would have to replace your original Works valve stems to use (they cost a lot more too so I would suggest the bracket adapters alone).

Thank you for this post. I actually just picked up a set of 18 x 8 vs-xx myself and after talking with work didn't know what I was going to do as there was no way I was going to drill a new hole for the tpms. I will be looking for this adapter soon.

Kbh if your works are 19"+ Work has an adapter for the valvestem you can get directly from them.

i didn't drill a hole too on my new shoes... so the adapter is only my choice i ordered 20's VS-XX.

then i ordered the 90 degree adapter from iforged already, is this the correct one? do i need to replace the original valve stem? what kind do i need to buy?

The brackets would've been cheaper but since you have already ordered the 90 degree adapters, you would simply replace the original valve stem. The "bracket" for the TPMS is already built-in the Iforged 90 degree adapters.

just make a TPM Bomb. its so much easier, and if you ever want to switch wheels, you dont have to dismount/remount them again. There a FIY on the FAQ section.

I would still prefer the TPMS adapters because it's not easy to spot a tire that's low on air. It may be easy to spot a completely flat tire, but a tire that has about 23-25psi (way too low imo) is hard to spot on 18in+ tires.

So with these adapters I don't need to drill another hole and can use my stock tpms?

If you're ordering new, just ask them to drill a hole.

If it doesn't come with the pre-drilled hole, get an adapter off ebay. I got mine from luminicsusa. great customer service.
