Default TPMS strapping kit

I'm going to buy a 1 piece valve stem for my non-tpms compatible wheel.
(http://www.workwheelsonline.com/work...stem-v224.html)

I contacted Work Wheels and they say I can buy a tpms strapping kit for my wheels. Is there anyone that has experience with any tpms strapping kits that they would recommend? Thanks.

The best solution would be some kind of 90 degree TPMS sensor adapter, which replaces your valve stem, like so: http://www.iforged.com/store/product...1d0c4e6b418f59. However, I don't know of any that are compatible with Volk wheels.

The next best solution would be to use TPMS bracket adapters, which is a more elegant solution than old school strapping kits. This should be compatible with your valve stem: http://www.iforged.com/store/product...products_id=11

if your wheels fit one of the TPMS adaptors use those.... Im running the straps on my SSR's but only because they made the vavle stem such a odd size that no adaptor works on them, ive haved them on for 2 years no issues but again my first choice was the iforged adaptors.

Thanks guys, i'll probably go with the TPMS adaptors. (Hope it works)

@brociouz - I assume you mean Work instead of Volks?

Also, where do you guys buy your tpms sensors? I searched the forums and many of you just buy ebay ones?

I have the strapping kit installed on my Volks. Not sure what brand they are, but was supplied and install by Discount Tire. No problem with them what so ever.

Also you can by the tpms off of eBay, dealer ($$), or even your local tire store
