In a nutshell, my wheels weren't designed to accept TPMS so I couldn't use the sensors the way they are supposed to be used.

ENTER ... MacGyver

A little Double-Sided Sticky Tape and Duct Tape ... Sensors work perfect!!!

You do realize, that your wheels spin fairly quickly, right?


When they get up to a nice 200f and you hit a little bump at 70 mph after a few miles, what do you think is going to happen to the adhesive? Forget about wheeling it :P (with those pretty rims i don't think your gonna anyway)

I wish this was a valid solution, but it is not even close.

At least when it comes a loose, you apparently have inexpensive access to a shop =) any excuse to get away from the wife? :p

Check out my cardomain ... You can see what I do to my pretty rims :lol:

The duct tape wraps around the whole rim and over laps the sensor. The sensor also has double sided tape under it. So far doing 80 on the highway and hitting a few "bumps" they are holding good ... at least I don't hear them rattling around ... :lol:
