Ordered a set of 840R: tire monitoring?
finally decided and ordered a set of black 840R 20's. I have tire pressure monitoring and don't plan to put the sensors on the new wheels, will there be any warning light, beeping, etc.? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know the TPS sensors WONT work on the 840R. They are a reverse-lip design and thus the sensor will not fit in the valve stem.
The only way I know to make TPS sensors work is to cut the valve stem off the sensor and epoxy & band-clamp the sensor to the center of the wheel.
I've done this on a couple of past cars of mine and it works fine.
