Custom wheels and TPMS
I installed a set of BC Forged on my E63S and yuck! The OEM stems are huge! They stick out like a flag pole. This has to be fixed. What are my options? Does anyone make shorty stems for the MB TPMS? If not, can I band the sensors?

That is odd. I bought OEM stems off Tire Rack and I think they look good on my HRE wheels. Do they look like this?

For tire sensors including valve stems. If you only need valve stems email tire rack to just get the stems. Those would have to be cheap
