the amount of many errors ive gotten from tpms systems vs actual low air (once in 11yrs) tpms is just a pita.

I have Volk RE30 with my TPMS working, when I first put them on my light could occasionally flash and the tires were fine. I needed new tires and after the change no more light issues ever again. Original tires were Hankook v12 and new tires were RE11.

NO!

it's just e-tape cut in a circle. i couldnt find a hole puncher that size
so i used a counter sunk screw, cleaned and placed the tape on it, then cut
along the screwhead with scissors to make the perfect circle.

used a L pick tool to place onto the cluster. it's a very clean install and
honestly cant see it while driving unless im looking for it.

Guess it's just something you'll have to learn to live with.

However, I didn't have any problem with tpms when I had my advan wheels and my current volks.

You shouldn't have any problem with your te37s unless something went wrong.

You have to specify with your wheel order and Work has the holes drilled when they make them to fit the tpms sensors. This however was over looked when I ordered my hs-203 but was able to have them drilled out by a competent wheel shop. It appears many people who have ordered work wheels the dealer did. Of specify to drill holes for tpms sensors.

i suppose if you're planning on keeping the wheels forever it's okay to have the valve holes custom drilled,
but for me, i know i will be selling wheels when im done with my car, so no special drilling.

plus, wheel designs get dated after a while...

TPMS is a bunch ov overpriced $BS$. I've been running my Volk Racing G2s for over a year w/no sensors or receiver. Now, to hack the ECU to turn off that g4y a55 TPMS lite...

Attached r sum Jpegs of the '15 NizeM0 wheels w/Rays AL valve stems (W3LDVSB) installed. TPMS is over priced BS! In case sum stealership or idi0t tells u regular valve stems can't be Nstalled 4 w00t eva $$$ grab'n reason...

I haven't had tpms in years. You guys sound like you've never lived in a world without tpms. Just check the pressure every now and then. My light doesn't even pop on right away.
