I have 19" Volk GT-7s and the shop I go to was able to mount the TPMS sensors in the normal mounting configuration and I've had no problems for a year. There is a risk that they will break if I hit a pothole when the tire has rotated to the exact spot where the valve stem it located. I have relaced one sensor for that reason.

Yeah, that's exactly what they told me... I decided to just leave em out because the streets around my house are real bad - that and he highly recommended I leave em out. No big deal, the light doesn't bother me and there's no alarm - I just periodically check the tire pressure to make sure I'm not low.

thanks in advance.

yes.. they do.. so that your car will recognize the new TPMS.

Got mine done for $19.95 at the local infiniti stealership since I put a set of new winter wheels on. All 4, took them about 30 mins.

In spring, after I put the stock wheels on, will go in again for another reset.
