Default TPMS Adapters

I think I saw a similar post awhile back about this but couldnt find it. I have Iforged wheels and after 4 days my tpms light came on. I think i need some kind of tpms adapters and found a set for $75 from Iforged website. Is that a good price or can I find some cheaper ones?
thanks

Do you have the TPMS installed on the wheels?? I wondering why you say the light came on 4 days after you installed your wheels. If you don't have the TPMS installed, the light would have come on immediately.

I bought the wheels used ans they used to be on an IS350. Installed in Socal, drove back to Norcal and 4 days later the tpms light came on. I dont know if the light suppose to be on right away or whats going on...

The light does not come on immediately. Takes about 20 miles (for me atleast). I'm clueless why yours took 4 days though. The sensors in the rims need to be programmed to the car.

Well if you park you car next to your stock wheels each time the light goes off for awhile then back on. If you have Iforged wheel then just get the adapter from them. I would first contact the seller if he left the sensor on the rims. If not then you'll have to get another set of sensor to mount on the adapter.

The light usually comes on between 15-20 miles

where did you put your sensors? it doesn't sound like you installed them into the iforged wheels.

drill the wheels...most dumbproof way to install. There is a high risk of breaking the sensors with the adapters during tire dismount.

Ask the seller if he had them installed in the tires.
