Default Tire sensor

To all of you out there riding on aftermarket wheels, what did you do about the tire pressure sensor? Mine has 22s on it the previous owner put on. I don't think he reinstalled the tire pressure sensors though. And that light flashing on the dash is driving me nuts! Also, the red ! light is also on, but I'm assuming that is also because of the sensors. Any ideas? Thanks!

my wheels are tps compatible so i simply transferred them from stock wheel to my aftermarket wheels

you can probably put them in a pressurized can in the trunk or throw them inside the spare donut (if you have one)

the only way to correct it is to put sensors in 130 a piece from the dealer without discount or use the ones in your stock wheels there are companies that make aftermarket ones also that are a little cheaper

that's if the wheels are tps compatible. otherwise there are fixes where people use band to tie them to the wheels

I'm using those Marcato TPMS adapters and they work great.
