Zip tie them to the TPMS kit and pull it through the valve stem hole. (I didn't fully pull this one through because I'm still letting these wheels cure)





^^^ that's how the outside of the wheel looks when installed inside; just figured i'd put this up.





1000 Mile review time. Change the batteries. Change them first thing. They suffer the same issues as replacement oem TPM sensors. The batteries get drained as soon as they are installed in the sensor. So when they are installed at the factory they are draining. (that's the problem with current cars and "New" tpm sensors). BUT if you replace the batteries first thing you got no worries.

I like them. Not only do they tell you the pressure in the tire they tell you the temperature of the tire. I want to put them in a sports car and take them for a spin in the mountains so I can watch the temp change.

They are not 100% accurate, but they are close enough. I'd imagine they'd let you know if you had some puncture before it became an issue. BUT I wouldn't set my pressures by what they register.

All that said I bought two additional sets (one for my mom and one more for the Porsche).
