TPMS Sensors, Please help!!!
went to install my wheels and they did not drill for the TPMS sensors
Where is the location they usually drill this? by the Valve Stem hole?
ending up taking the wheels back home
Please help thanks

I would think its the same. All of my TPMS sensors in my past cars have been attached to the valve stem.

I don't think u need to drill any holes for TPMS.
But I do know on some wheels there are 2 holes for the valve stem and that is because of the wheel design. But u only have to use 1 hole and the other one will be plugged.

If they are aftermarket wheels some might not fit do to the size of the hole or the design of the wheel. There are ways to get past this problem. You can make the hole bigger to accommodate the larger TPMS steam, place the TPMS in another location, make a pipe bomb, etc.

If you send them back to the shop they are liable if any errors. If you screw up, you're screwed. From what i've read, banding not as secure...i wouldn't.

work will not take them back, they blamed whoever ordered them and asked multiple times if i wanted TPMS holes but supposedly they said no, even though i stated i wanted them.
Think of going the strapped route, read alot last night on internet most people not having issues.
