which TPMS will work?
I purchased a set of Rays 19's for my 08 xS sedan. I am wanting to purchase some TPMS for these but I dont know which will work and which will not. I have found several "used" sets I want to purchase. Can anyone tell me if these will work?

i dont think so they look like the ones for the older years the new ones are different and im pretty sure the old sensors cabt be programmed to work with the 07+ g35 years.
makes sure before u buy

oh dang, I guess I should have done the research. I have to get used ones, reprogrammed?? How much does that cost and I assume only dealers can do that?
I didnt want to use my old ones because I am planning on using the Rays as spring/summer wheels only. I dont want to have to break down the sets of wheels each time I swap wheels.
What about these.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...Q5fAccessories

these looks like the ones that i have on my o7 and should work fine, but FYI every time you swap out your summer to winter wheels and vise versa you will have to go to your dealer to get the tpms reprogrammed as ppl have said earlier though.

is this based on if i reuse my current TPMS sensors or if I purchase new ones? Or both? I want to buy another set so i dont have to reprogram the TPMS and dismantle the tires from the wheels every time.

What You do?, I been debating if I should get new ones or use the ones that came with the car for summer rims, I think my local tire shop might be able to do it, but I'm not sure.
The stock TPMS will not work w/ any 2 or 3 piece wheel that I am aware of, but they sometimes will work for 1 piece wheels. Having the (!) light on is a small "price" to pay for sic aftermarket rims.
Those shown in the ebay link should be fine. My 08 actually uses the 4700 JK00A. The one in the ebay auction is the JK00B which I have heard is only an updated unit to work with the G37 and 09 stuff.
In order to install TPMS on multi piece wheels, I believe that you'll need a sensor adaptor. Many difereent styles. I don't know which is best. Here are a few samples.

Sure they will, but it depends on the internal contour of the wheel. Mine work fine on my 3 piece 20" wheels.

so what you guys are saying is that buying sensors not only depends on the model year, but also what style wheel? I am putting on the OEM 19" Rays on a 08 G35xS Sedan. I was planning on purchasing sensors that look like the above ebay ones. would i be correct to do so?
Most people have only one set of sensors in the set of wheels that will be on the car most of the year (usually summer tires). The rest of the time, they go without sensors on the other (winter) set and just deal with the warning light on the dash.
