TPMS on I-forged rims
Has anyone tried remounting the tire pressure sensors from their car to aftermarket rims? I am planning on having my iforged Daytonas placed tomorrow and can't decide if I want to go through the trouble of having the tire pressure sensors switched over.
Also, when I looked at the inside of the Daytonas there seems to be a metal tube that bends in a "L" shape
from the site of the valve to the inside of the rims. I think that this would probably make the installation impossible.
What do you guys think???

TPMS doesn't work on 2 and 3 piece wheels - I thinkl
It is my undersanding that most TPMS units do not work on 2 and 3 piece wheels because of the bent valve stem. One source told me that you may be able to buy and aftermarket "strap" that goes around the barrel of the rim to hold the TPMS unit in place. You migh ask the guys at autohaus wheels...they seem to know their stuff.
