Did you put on your aftermarket rims yet?

If so, do you even have the tire pressure monitors in them?

If you damaged your TPMS from driving over rocks your tires would be punctured and your rims would be bent way out of shape...

They are mounted like this in the rim...

no my new wheels have not arrived yet. thanks for the pics. I am guessing i didnt damage the sensor then. I am kinda lost at what it could be then. I have checked the psi's again still at at 35, i'm not getting the flashing signal for a fault in the system...

Did you figure it out yet? Mine has been on for like 3 weeks. The dealership has to reset it with a laptop I guess. I just havent had time to take it in yet. Was wondering if yours was fixed yet. I don't get the flashing signal either. It is just solid all the time.

yes the light went off. I added air to my tires again they were a few psi low and after about 2 mins of driving it went off. The odd part is i had originaly put it back to the original psi settings and it didnt go off the first time....

I bought an extra set of sensors that I was told would work. Paid $20 a wheel to have them mounted on my Mayas, drove it for 50 miles and the damn light is still on. Im a little pissed I paid $100 for the sensors and $80 for the install and NOTHING.

I really don't think they sensors will work on aftermarket rims. I ripped mine off when I put rims on my G35 light always went on after driving about 50+ miles without stopping. I'm starting to think it's a faulty sensor because it should have gone off by now. There's no way in hell my tires were less than 28psi to begin with and I've put air in em all. I thought for sure it would at least go off temporarily after an ECU reset but sure enough it was still on.

Even with new sensors dont you have to get them reprogrammed from the dealer cos they run on different frequency's?
