Tire pressure warning light

Has anyone gone with aftermarket wheels that can't accept the tire pressure monitoring system? If so, what did you do to remove the warning light for the low pressure?

From what I understand, there is nothing that can be done about that. That's what kept me from some PIAA's that I wanted. I was doubly f'd on wheel selection because I have the Brembo piston brakes which require extra clearance.

put a sensor in the wheels. If you can't get one in there, why not just pull the fuse to the TPMS system?

if the fuse is link to the VSA, foloow the power wires from the fuse and see where they lead to. Cut and tape of the ones that are for the TPMS.

I don't think I would mess with it .. I ran after market wheels all summer with no TPMS and the littl light onthe dash wasn't a bother .. if you think it is get a small piece of Limo window tint and cover it.

I have 19's on my car and I have the brembos as well... the shop did a little work on the wheels for the clearance and theres about 3MM of clearance now. The dealer said that you can pull the fuse out from the OEM wheels and pop them into the valve stem and it should resolve your problems.
