Tire Pressure Sensors - PLEASE HELP!!!
I have installed Velocity 20" W910 on my 07 IS250 RWD.
Currently, am unable to use stock Tire Pressure Sensors since they do not fit my current rims. Does someone know about Tire Pressure Sensors that may fit this rim model? I will like to keep the tire pressure sensor feature of my car.
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. See attached picture of the rims.
Please Help!

TPMS 'pipe bombs' only do one thing: Turn the TPMS light off.
This does nothing to tell you a tire has a screw in it and is low…and will kill the (expensive) tire quickly.
I have an 06 IS350 and have Work wheels that don't accommodate the stock TMPS sensor…
My tire guy's solution…and thus far…6+years later works with perfection..is to 'band' the stock TPMS sensor the the wheel barrel and use the custom wheels fancy valve stem.
The 'band' is basically a giant hose clamp
Keep in mind you need to make sure whoever works on your tire/wheel knows the band is there..otherwise, demounting a tire, they can destroy theTMPS sensor..
Google 'TPMS Band Clamp'…and you will see what I am talking about

Hi Monique, I have the same problem. I was reading other forums and came across iforge.com they have brackets for the tpms but not sure how the sensor will work when basically the light is just turned off. see below I found this from another forum
STEP 1:Order the correct mounting brackets from tpms solution . com Tele #(714) 484-1070. They are made by iForged wheels. I needed the solution for 3 piece wheels which is solution 1. They look like this....
STEP 2:Remove the mounting sleeve from your TPMS using a 12mm wrench.
STEP 3:Insert the stem of the TPMS through the large loops on the mounting bracket.
Click the image to open in full size.
STEP 4:Use the 12mm wrench and tighten the sleeve back onto the TPMS to secure it to the bracket.
STEP 5:Take the valve stem from your new wheel and unthread the half that sits inside your wheel from the stem that sits outside the wheel.
