So I'm heading down to DPE tomorrow to pick my new wheels. The shop down stairs from them are going to install them. I want to transfer my tire pressure sensors from my stock 18's to the new set of DPE's. When I asked the tech on the phone about doing the work he seem unsure about the G35's sensors. He asked me if there was a little box like on Corvette's. I told him I didn't think so and that I thought it was just a matter of swapping out the valve stem. What's the deal? Can I transfer them on to my new wheels?

Thanks,
~Chris

 

Hey Chris,

I've been told on 2 separate occasions by Creative Autoworks that our sensors would work w/o any problems. Also, check out http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=44 and scroll about halfway down for a pic of the tire sensors -- it says GM and Infiniti use the same sensors.

Can you keep me posted on how it goes...keeping the tire pressure sensors was a major deciding factor in me going with DPE....

Good luck, and congrats on the rims!

Yeah, actually after seeing the picture I see what he means about "box". Hopefully it goes smoothly. I'll post how it turns out.

 

Congrats! Can't wait to see pics!

 

Question though....Do you have to reset anything in the car's computer when you install the sensors in different wheels? I thought i read it in another post somewhere here. TIA for the advice!

 

Are DPEs wheels the only ones that work with the factory sensors?

 

DPE are the only wheels that take 2845743939483948 weeks for you to get them.

 

HRE and iForged can also take along time.......

BTW...which DPE model did you get?

 

I dont think you can use them. If the rims have the stem on the inside of the wheel then its going to be a no go.

 

Works! Yup the stems are on the inside and they fit and seem to work fine. I haven't driven on them much yet but they seem fine. I'm running 35 series on mine but the tech thought that a 30 series would work too. (For those of you goin' with the 20's.)

Damn these things are sick, I won't make any claims of having the biggest lip but they're a healthy 4 -4 1/2 inches. I love the way they look on the car. I'll post pics soon, I need to give her a bath and a Zaino rub down first.

BTW, they're 19" DPE R06 S veriant black faces polished lip w/ rivits and cf center caps. Running those new Toyo Proxes T1R with the stiff side walls.

 

Nope, just install them in the wheel and you're good to go.

 

Mine took 9 weeks, the original estimate was 6-8. Your mileage may vary.

 

I read some posts a while ago that claimed they worked with Volks too. Not sure about others.

 

congrats on teh wheels bro, glad you like em!

 

Wow...i had the same quote and the same wait time. My wheels will be here Friday according to Fedex. And btw, I hate you for having the new T1-R's. I ordered them but I could no longer wait on those tires since my DPE's will be here Friday. So I am picking up the T1-S's tomorrow.
