Little less than $100. I believe they are about $20/piece+shipping.

Cool and about $40 to take sensors off your old tires. $40 to take off tires from current rims, $20? to put it back on?

Not sure about that.. here they charge $13 to mount/unmount, so it would be $13x4 to unmount the tires, mount up the new TPMS, then $13x4 to remount the tires. Not sure if they charge for the TPMS..

the tire shops i've been to charge about $10 to break down a tire. so $10x4 to get the sensors out, $20x4 for the sensors and $10x4 to install it in the new wheels... you're looking at $160.

$100 is cheap. BMW ones are $50 each. Tire rack charges the same as well. TPMS + Valve stems.

ha well they currently are the only ones that seem to have a valve stem that works for the Lexus TPMS if you want to try the bands HRE makes or rigg your own up go for it.. Or else nut up and buy the adaptors its all about supply and demand. BTW its the adaptors that cost alot not the valves...

Exactly, I mean if you prefer to drill your rims to add an additional hole for the TPMS, feel free.
