TPMS and Volk - Any success?

DIGItonium

Thanks, Chuck! Is it confirmed that these valve stems will work with our wheels? It looks like an elegant solution. The ones FP sent me were the $35 bracket adapters. When wedged between the rubber washer and valve stem, my installer had difficulty tightening the screw to hold the valve stem in place.

Also, am I supposed to keep the valve stem caps on as well?

I just ordered a set Volk GT-S's and it looks like the 90 degree iForged adapters should work fine. Here's a thread I found on installing those $35 bracket adapters

Finally, TPMS Solution for Multi-piece wheels (maybe others) - RX8Club.com

I wonder why your installer had issues with the screw. I'm going to get the 90 degree iForged ones and use those. I would think with or without valve stem caps, it shouldn't matter.

The screw was a bit on the short side when adding in the adapters, so within the limited time frame that we had it was difficult to press down and screw it in. Without the adapters it went on fine, they left it out.

I used the iForged 90 degree adapters on my GT-S wheels with no major issues; they worked. The only issue is that the o-ring/seal on the iForged valve-stem gets stretched pretty good. My tire shop recommended replacing the valve-stem or o-rings each time I replaced my tires. I actually think the butterfly adapter works better, and eliminates this issue. I would not use bands; there are much better solutions (I would have a machine shop tap a second hole in each wheel like Volk does now before I used bands).
