TPMS where to buy

Does anyone have experience buying sensors online or have any recommendations? I found schrader 433 mhz sensors for 82$ each (includes stems, service kit) from tpmsdirect.com. Are these good sensors? What have you purchased in the past? I would like to avoid shelling out $$$ for OEM.

Actually its really easy: select any wheel for your car, then clik TPMS, then add to cart, then just checkout. Their web is one of the most user friendly I've seen. Fantastic price as well - only $62 per sensor. Same as OEM. Used them many times.

Ive tried it for the cls as you instructed and it brings up some nonsense aftermarket products not sensors. Dont really know whats going on. Three do you know the part number so when i call, they can check to see if its compatible with the cls?

Add TPMS to cart. Then view cart. You'll see four sensors ($248). Then checkout. There will be a small ($8 or so) shipping charge added.

tirerack.com works. As others mentioned select any wheel for CLS550 and it will ask you if you want tpm's. Add to cart and you're done

Thanks guys, do i need to order stems as well or do tpms fit on standard stems. As you can tell im not very computer savy or know alot about tpms. Would hate to get to the tire store with my rims, and purchase the tires (planning on all season continental DWS for southeastern missouri mild winters), only to find out i need a matching stem). They should carry tpms stems at tire stores right? Then again this is the backwoods.

It includes everything that's needed. Just get it from any of the above two mentioned places. Then take them (TPMS sensors) along with your wheels and tires to installer - they know what to do.

I've purchased 4 OEM TPMS (new) from eBay for $75 shipped

This is a bad time to purchase as many are looking for TMPS for their winter tires. I'd seriously consider running without sensors if you don't mind scrolling through an error message at start up. Stay on top of your psi's though
