Default Tire Pressure Sensor

I just got new wheels on my IS350 yesterday, They couldn't switch the sensor from my stock, now my check system light is on. Does anyone know how to take care of that? thanks

I had the same issue with mine..

There are three basic alternatives:

Live with it and do nothing

Create the pipe bomb

Alternative method of attaching the sensor
Two that I know of:
Banding - basically a giant hose clamp that goes around the barrell of the wheel

Sensor adaptors - Iforged makes them...they work with most wheels (Goggle Iforged TPMS and you will find them)

I did the banding..so far no problems...no lights..and I keep the sensors working...a very good idea considering how much these tires cost

Oh yeah, you are going to have to disomount/remount and balance to do either of the sensor adaptor solutions..too bad your tire installer didn't look out for you on this one
