How many of you put on aftermarket wheels without TPMS?

I'm not going to lie, I find it annoying. I don't mind not having a monitoring system, I can feel the tires if they are running low on air pressure... but I don't really want the light on, is it possible to turn it off somehow?

Did anyone else put on aftermarket wheels without TPMS? I think I'm just going to ignore it if it isn't going to cause me any problems.

PS: The Bridgestone S-04 are great tires, I love them so far, I can already feel how much the grip improved over my base 18" wheels and I'm still going pretty easy on them before I completely break them in.

Our tpms won't fit any work wheels w/o some modification.

So when I had work wheels I left them out and the light just kept blinking and as far as I know, there were no way to turn it off.

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.

Okay, that sounds scary then...can more owners with Volks chime in?

.

I have the factory TPMS sensors installed on my WORK VSXX and there was no modifying required.

After spending some big money on aftermarket wheels, its a nice feeling knowing that the TPMS sensors are there monitoring the tire pressures. Besides, the light would drive me nuts.

I don't have Volk but SSR and found out that most aftermarket wheels cannot accomodate a TPMS. So the work around was to use a TPMS belt mount that holds it on the wheel. Had it for almost 4 years now, zero issues.

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.
