i dont use tpms on my nismo wheels either. i just dont care for tpms.

Isnt there a way to trick the system so you don't have to place them on the rim? I thought I have heard people doing that.

You can get you some pvc pipe and put the sensors in it and pressurize it and have it in the car somewhere. Back when I had a Tacoma there were people doing that. I would just rather deactivate the whole system. People are that lazy to check their tires once a month or when they look low so they found a way to stick more junk on the car that is not needed.

in the past folks used pvc capsules, but the tpms sold these days (from wat i read) have centripetal sensors so you'd have to keep it spinning, otherwise they turn off to save battery power. i suppose you can mount i inside the tire and strap it to the barrel of the wheel.

Probably going to have 2 strap them. Is it common for them to come loose? or they stick pretty well?
