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

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.

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.

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.
