sup everyone,

just wanted to ask those who have installed aftermarket rims if the tire pressure sensory system still works with the aftermarket rims. I know that some aftermarket rims are designed specifically for tps systems; just wondering if i get my racing hart rims that the tps system will work with them.

thanks for the input... :lol:

 

It all depends if the inflators from your original wheels will fit on the new wheels.

The TPM inflators are a quite a bit larger than regular valve stems.

If you need to know what they look like, I can take a picture of a spare I have and post it for you.

What kind of wheels did you buy?

:-)

 

DCs stance is very simple... Do not use the TP sensors on any rims other that DC rims. Simple liability issue obviously. So.. the question is: Will they fit? If you can fit the sensors, and be careful seating the tire, all should be well.

 

As long as the new tires take the same pressure as the stock tires, right?

 

Stock tires can hold 44 psi I beleive. The sensors are not intended to run at this level of pressure- the manufactures suggested tire inflation is much lower.

 

Yeah, well my tires can hold 54psi. That's the maximum level before they explode. I'm just saying, the tire pressure sensor probably senses pressure and if it's out of spec of a hardcoded level then it will go off. Every tire has a different psi level, so the sensor probably won't work for every kind of tire or rim regardless of whether or not it physically fits.

 

Where do you come up with this stuff..... There's not a tire on the market for this car that will not play with the TPM. James.... go play with your acura and quit making dumb statements... Please!!! I let most go but this one is just to dumb to ignore.:?

If your tire has "max pressure 54 psi" on it that means that 54 psi is the highest pressure you can safely use. It's not going to explode if you put 55 psi in it.

 

hehehe you just got bitchslapped. i think people like sonne just like posting false information on different forums. troll, there on every forum.

 

It's a technique that those of us proficient in English use known as hyperbole ...

:roll:

 

I found a site for Crossfire wheels

http://www.ronalusa.com/cars/chry_crossfire.html

 

wow, you used proficient and hyperbole in the same sentence. im sure you've now impressed everyone, really changed "their" minds about you.

 

It was a joke on that guy with the crouching dog avatar. I called him out for making fun of Hyundai, he said he was just using hyperbole. Clue in.

Cyril, R-28, R-38, and R-39 all look pretty good on the Crossfire. Good link.

 

Back to the topic:

Tony:

I apologize for not getting the pictures of the TPM sensors I promised posted to my album. Things have been wild at work.

I took the pictures. I will get them posted tonight!

 

...thanks to the guys who've provided insightful input...and thanks for the pics too jsisabella, i appreciate the help

 

tony:

I posted 2 pictures in my album

The ruler taped to the bottom of the sensor is to give it some scale....

Hope this help!

 

...and our word for the day today, students, is "plagiarism." :P

 

What's with the "Scotch" tape???? Real men use "Duct" tape.... :P :wink: :P

 

What is originality? Plagiarism unrecognized. (Inge)

 

AZ:

Of course I would have used Duct tape, but I wanted poor tony to be able to see the sensor!!!!

:lol:

 

Scotch is reserved after a Crossfire cruise at night
