Question, how can you tell the TPMS are out of wheels? I think mine were switched when I didn't know about it, but the TPMS light only came on with my 19s when i was on the freeway but now it stays on permanetly with my 17s on and all the tires are up to air spec. How hard is it to install them back onto the 17s and where can i find them/what do they look like?

When you got the 19s, did the come with the TPMS? Or did you have them switched over from the 17s?

Ok, I haz another RLQ...

What's the advantage of a metal type high flow cat over a ceramic type (or vice versa)
And which type of construction do some of the "more trusted" brands of test pipe use?

I don't believe they came with TPMS. I am pretty sure the guy i bought them from switched them over to his wheels.

I don't know if my tpms were switched from the 17s onto the 19s. Is there any way i can check?

I'm not 100% sure, because I don't have TPMS (I'm calling it an advantage LOL) but I think the TMPS has a metal valvestem.

TPS stem is metal - sensor is attached to other side of valve stem (inside tire)... swapping/installing is easy once the tire is dismounted, the valve stem unscrews in 2 halves you simply screw it in the new rims... will need to have dealer calibrate them (if they are not original to the car).

I dont even remember where it would have happened. Dealer charged me $30 to swap them the first time (mistake on my part) and the second time, a buddy of mine put the new tires on and swapped the wheels on for me for free.

These are the only times I havn't personally swapped them. I'll check the tires when i get home.

People tend to think metal lasts longer than ceramic - in reality all HFC will go bad at some point...
