Does oem TL sensors work on Racing Hart C2 Evo wheels?
I just bought a set of used 19 inch Racing Hart C2 Evo rims. They look the best even thought they've been around for a few years now. The problem is that I have a 06 TL with the TPMS system, which really sucks I think. I rather not have TPMS instead. I was wondering if the oem TL sensors will work out on these rims. Anyone has Racing Hart rims on a 06 TL? How do you take care of the TPMS problem. Do you have aftermarket sensors or did you swap the old ones from you TL? anyone? thanks!

I was at discount tire the other day and he said they can always fit in the sensors!
They have a part (a bracket) that mounts into the current valve stem hole and leave a hole for a valve stem like a non TPMS tire and then they mount the TPMS sensor on the hole in the newly installed bracket. I would imagine this means you would have less room to smash your rubber into the sensor but it is a solution that appears to me to be able to work with all rims???

06 TL 6spd. Navi/A-spec
If you put acura tpms sensors on non acura factory wheels, they will throw the wheels way off balance, tpms vehicles use wheels specially designed for installation of the tpms pressure sensor, these wheels feature, tpms stamped on the back side of the hub or spoke for identification, the rims also provide a sepcially machined area for the sensor, the wheels are also counter balanced 180 degrees from the sensor position by either no machining on the inside of the spoke, or less machining on the inside of the spoke. I am not saying this cannot be done but you may risk running into problems or even braking the sensors when installing them on aftermarket wheels, if they make aftermarket ones these may or maynot work better, your best bet is to just use regular valve stems and do away with the tpms!

I have aftermarket 20's with low profile tires and the TPMS sensors fit perfectly and the set was balance and I have absolutely no vibration...
