Is it possible to keep the Tire pressure Sensor when upgrading my wheels? Or do i have to loose that feature?

 

yes you can or you can buy them at american tire co..

 

ask the manufacture of the wheels you decide on if your sensors will fit before purchasing I hear they are an expensive replacement if you just buy new ones...

 

ok thanks...its a nice feature to have, but will sacrifice for new shoes.

Also, last question?

Will the sensor low pressure warning light come on and stay on if I remove the sensors totally?

 

No, should be fine.

 

If you change to wheels with no transmitters in them the light will likely stay on permanently - mine has been lit since I put my snows on. An Infiniti tech can disable it for you.

 

Yes, the light will stay on. It will flash for a few seconds every time you start the car and will then stay lit until you turn the car off. At least, that's the way it works on my '06.

 

along that line, in what year was the TPS incorporated? 2005?

 

I have an '04 and I have TPS's. The light will come on if no sensors are in the wheels. It takes about 1/2 hour or so before the light comes on...when you shut the car off, it will reset. As for fitting aftermarket rims, some do, some don't. You'd have to ask the people you're buying your tires from. I know for a fact that that TPS's fit in Axis Milano's, as I've already had mine removed from my stock rims for when I buy my Milano's.

 

Infiniti must have made some changes to the system since '04. On my '06, the lite comes on, in a flashing mode, every time I start the car. It continues to flash for a few seconds and then stays lit until I turn the car off. The time it's flashing is the only time I notice it. When it's steady, it's no problem.

 

You have decided to go with the Milanos after all?... As far as the sensor how much did it cost to have them removed was it something you can do yourself?

 

yeah they changed the system a little bit making a little more sensitive. i get a lot of customers coming in when the weather gets colder. i've thrown a few TPS sensors into aftermarket wheels and are almost $125 a piece but it's well worth the small investment for 20 inch wheels which are costly if you drive on them while flat

 

when I put my new Volks on, the shop transferred the TPM and attached it with metal banding straps. I have had the wheels for two months now and the light has never came on. Total cost for parts and labor was $120. That included breaking down the OEM wheels, removing the TPM, remounting the OEM tires and installing the TPM on the new wheels.

 

For a while, I was looking for other alternatives....but deep down, after seeing your new picts, I'm better off just sticking w/ the Milano's. Though I don't "plan" on adding a drop. As for the removal, it was done for me for free when I had snows rotated & put on my car for the winter....I asked the tire shop if they could remove the TPS's from the stock tires & give them to me, and they did it for free and put the Turanza's back on the stock rims....so I guess it's not that difficult. Also, spyengineering (where I plan on ordering my wheels) will install the TPS's for free (included w/ normal price). FYI - If you do remove the TPS's, you will need to have the stock wheels rebalanced after doing so (if you plan on using them again).
