TPMS and Volk - Any success?
 
Almost 2 years ago my tire installer was not successful squeezing in the TPMS and adapter to the valve stem. The set screw was too short, so he ended up leaving it out. This time around I'm thinking about getting a whole new set of valve stems for the GT-S wheels and try to hunt for a set screw that's a bit longer.

What do you guys think? Any other suggestions?

Not sure about how these actual install. Hope to find out this weekend. There just going to take the one off my stock and transfer to my new wheels. So do you really think you need to get all new ones?

which wheels did you get?

you may or may not need them depending on the valve stems location.

Ooh... I faintly read about those. If it works great for you, then that'll be money spent on something better! :tup:

Nice! Will keep these in mind as I hear SSR wheels are not compatible with the oem sensors.

nice wheels! hopefully they'll fit the tpms but hardly ever these multipiece wheels will ever accept the sensor at the factory location

you are correct! SSR wheels are not compatible. i had the MS1 before and needed to run tpms straps.

The way it was explained to me is my wheels are going to have two valve stems. Which I've seen before. The tpms one is going to be in the inside of the wheel.

ahhh, that's good! the wheels i just sold has 2 holes also. works flawlessly btw! i just ordered some new wheels but can't be drilled for some reason and i'll be doing that strap kit/adapter again.

bands and flattened wire clips ........ perfect flush fit

SPOHN 01-17-2011 06:54 PM
We'll still have to see if they'll work on these wheels. If not I'll do the bands.

some Volks are TPMS compatible...such as the GT30's I had with my GTR.

chuckd05 01-17-2011 09:21 PM
hmm I have the same wheels as you Digi... I took my set out of my rays before I sold them, than I noticed the path the ones on the volks take...

Someone PMed me a link to some adapter
