Which TPMS?
Hello! I just got my brand spankin' new 2011 R350 and I'm fixin' to get snow tires for it. I've already got a set of the 19" Situla wheels and I want to put the TPMS sensors in them, but I'm finding two possible part numbers: A 002 540 7917 (315 Mhz) and A 002 540 8017 (433 Mhz).
How can I tell which part number is the proper one to get? I can't find any specific info for my specific car.
Thanks for the help.

Sorry to bring this back after nearly a year but my genuine Mercedes-Benz valve stem caps siezed so I now have to replace my entire stems and TPMs.
I have a 2010 and when I gave the VIN to my dealership they said the part no. is 000-905-41-00, $144/ea. Now, how is this completely different then the numbers you guys have mentioned, for your 2008 & 2011 Rs? Could it be my wheels? I have the factory 19" AMGs.
Also, when looking for an aftermarket solution, I'm trying to avoid $600 for TPMs + $330 to install, I found the following:

Which shows a Mercedes Part of A0045429818. I called and the answer I recieved was "its on the customer to verify fitment", translastion = we don't know. Yah, they seem real reputable; Its a shame because they have great prices on replica AMG rims

Well, just incase anyone read this (or even cares) I found more info.
Current (Oct/2011) MBenz Part No.: 000-905-4100, 433Mhz, $144/ea.
This part supersedes A002-540-8017. The part dealer said that A002-540-8017 didn't exist, perhaps because he used my VIN which is for a 2010. He did say that A002-540-9017 was in the succession list. Perhaps the 8017 & the 9017 have to do with Model Year.
Moving on... my problem is not as grave as originally tought. According to two other dealers I am able to replace the valve stem itself (which is what is damaged). The MBenz Part No.: is 000-400-53-13-28, $50/ea. So far I have found them online for as low as $39/ea.
Hope this helps anyone else who finds themself in this most unfortunate situation. TIP: Don't use valve caps, this $20.99 part is going to cost me nearly $200 to fix.
PREVIOUS POST EDIT: A tech e-mail back from OEWheels, LLC and he was more than helpful; perhaps I just got a dingbat on the phone. Those AMG reps for my C350 are starting to look good again

I paid around $270 shipped for (4) 433 MHz TPMS's made by Siemens for my 20" rims and worked without any problem.
