When you get any aftermarket wheels do you have to get the tire sensors installed inside the tire? Or how does this work.

your stock wheels have the TPS sensors connected to the valve stem, you transfer them over to the new wheels. The orientation of the valve stem on the aftermarket wheel is what determines compatibility

All other manufacturers should have such a valve stem hole come with their wheels, more & more cars are coming with TPS as standard . . .

not sure about all thoug, coz' some cars they don't have tps system, so owner wouldn't know what to do with the extra hole having this OPTION for all wheels would be nice though. it's just one little extra holes for them in most cases i think

Default Good Idea Something I Hadn't Though About

Wow now I have a solution for the TSP problem. Thanks for sharing that good info for new comers like myself. By the way I'd love to see the wheels on the car.

Do the works need to have two valve stem holes to be TPSM compatible? I recently got mine and they are supposed to work with TPSM. I told the shop to make sure they got that. The wheels only have one valve stem hole. When I took it to Discount to put the tires on, they told me they wouldn't work with TPS. But when I got my car back the light wasn't on. Then about a week later, the light comes on. Anybody have any ideas?

There are only certain models from the WORK Wheels line that are TPS compatible from the manufacturer, for instance I dont think the Termist line can be built to accept oem tps but the EUROLINE series can.

Here are the photos of the wheels on the car. Not as sexy as Rominl's pics.

How much did you pay? I think you could've spent a little more for a size that fits the wheel well better. Unless you were going for the stock look.

I agree, bad idea to drill (assuming you don't have a valve stem designed for the TPMS). Mine has also been working flawlessly.

Nice wheels btw!
