Tire Pressure Monitoring System

integraworks · 03-30-2011, 04:16 PM

I am considering a change to from the OEM #293 wheels to some really nice BBS wheels. Question re: the Tire Pressure Monitoring System: Are the montiors / hardware that is used in the OEM wheels removeable and re-installable on the aftermarket rims?

If the TPMS components are not changeable, then where do you get new/replacement TPMS components for the new rims?

Thanks

There are no TPMS modules on the actual wheels in CDN spec cars, the TPMS system on our cars are monitored by the variance in the wheel revolutions amongst the 4 weels.

So just swap the BBS wheeels in, reset the sensors and you will be good to go.

Same here in Thailand, there was no TPS module (may be only US model equipped)
Most wheels especially BBS can mount with TPS module
This BBS CHR is a nice choice

Yea I just ordered a set of wheels and was wondering about this! If the car doesn't have the TPMS module, I am going to be a very happy man!
