Default question on tire sensors for vossen rims

i recently installed vossen rims v083's on my 2006 gs300 and the tire shop said they couldnt install the tire sensors because the sensors were too wide to fit in the slot..... has anyone had this problem? If so, where can i get sensors for a decent price?

I have CV-1's and they fit fine... If it doesn't work at all, i saw this thread in the 2IS forums that might help...

Did they show you how it wasnt fitting on? Maybe if they loosened them and spun them around.

All of our wheels are TPMS compatible. They should fit just fine.

Install them with some new seals and you should be fine.
