someone Please confirm (a-spec wheel related)

Just wanted to confirm here

I got a set of 18" A-spec wheels in the mail today that came with TPMS sensors

I have an 05 Tl and therefore dont need the TPMS sensors..

I know that the 06 wheels are different then the 05 wheels in that they have a recess in them for the sensors to fit ...

my question is

will regular valve stems work in the wheels that were designed for TPMS sensors ?

thanx

As far as I know they should work with regular valve stems. I've seen several Hondas and acuras with the 06 TL wheels and regular valve stems.

You can probably sell the TPMS sensors on ebay or the Black Market. Help offset the cost of your new wheels!

Where did you buy the wheels from? You got quite a bargain!

i won them off ebay .. buy it now was 800 and that included FREE shipping ...

wheels came brand new in the OEM factory boxes with the honda part numbers on the outside ... TPMS sensors included as well

as i said above .. i sold the TPMS sensors lowering the overall cost of the wheels

i would have liked the hyperblack ones but at 800 for OEM a-specs.. the sparkle silvers will do just fine plus they will look good on my DWP

though after looking at the PRIVAT NETZ .. im not so sure ive totally made up my mind on keeping these lol
