I have plans of buying a set of aftermarket rims and tires to go with them. My main question(s) are:

Is it possible to transfer the sensors from the stock steelies to the aftermarket ones? Do I have to buy a brand new set of 4 TMPS sensors for them?

 

[hemifan87]

when I had my 240 rims put on I had them change the sensors over from the steelies. just ask the shop before about doing it.

Yep, my 1.6 came with steelies so I got SL alloys and transfered my TPMS sensors over. :thumbsup:

 

[JoshG]

What kind of rims do you plan on getting?

 

[ColKlink]

Something similar in design. But not as meshy as Enkeis 92 Mesh style

I never transferred my tpms to my rims....I just ignore my warning light

Yeah but some states wont let ya pass inspections (whether its a physical inspection or emission) if the TPMS light is on.

 

[frenchy chan]

Ah, we don't have inspections here

Did they charge to transfer it? Thinkin about Focal X 15"s

Most places charge to transfer them, or you can just buy a second set and have them installed on the new wheels if you are going to run summer and winter wheels, but they are not cheap!

I'm using stock tires, do they need to be transferred?

That is correct :cheers2:

there are no car inspections in the state where I live :nono:

so...lots of cars look like they're falling apart, but hey if it runs. drive it!!! :thumb2:


as long as you have valid insurance, valid drivers license, and valid registration, you're good.
At night, all your lights have to be working...not really. depends on the officer. the only thing you cannot get away with is having your windows too dark at night darker than 20% or darker.

I've got some spare sensors. I'll let the set got for $40 + shipping.

No regular inspections here either, just emission tests done every other year (when the car reaches a certain age).

Isnt that all kinda dangerous? My car is exempt from emissions test. They test cars here that are older then 2000 and arnt massive like a sports utility vehicle or humv.

a car could have faulty brakes or unsafe tires and crash into another vehicle where you live. accidents must happen all the time.

I bought my wheels and tires at discount tire and they removed the old sensors and put them in my new wheels,,no problem,,

Make sure you or the tire place have a new kit of 4 TPMS sensor seals if you plan on transferring the TPMS. I paid $12 at NAPA for the kit when I had to replace the tires since I changed them myself.

No inspection/emissions in Florida either.

And most shops here charge as well, I waited til I got new tires for my wheels and had the sensors transferred then. :thumbsup:
