Talking New Wheels

I just bought a new set of wheels for my 2005 xfyr and have a question. Can you simply put a new valve stem in the wheels if the low pressure indicator light doesn't bother me? I am also looking for the hottest rubber on the market to add to my new "summer" wheels. Any suggestions would be appreciated. James in St. Louis.

yep... you can just use a standard rubber valve stem in your new wheels. but the dash light will remain on.

I'd like to see those sometime, since you are just up the "street". Now we won't be clones!

Why not just transfer the OEM stems and sensors to your new wheels ? They just pop right out. Make sure you mark which sensor/stem is for which wheel and replace in the same position. If you don't want to do that, I would recommend at least metal stems.
