Love being able to read the PSI on all four corners from the cabin. Got a used set of 2006 TL wheels with like new tires for cheap. There are TPMS sensors in there and I was wondering if a shop will have any issues mating them to my car so I can read the pressure in the cabin and not have a TPMS light on? Or will I need new sensors? . Car is an 08 TL-S.

 

If the sensors are good and were on an Acura, there's no problem syncing up.

Although, 06 wheels on an 08 TLS is um, stylin'??

 

Thank you for the response. Hahaha they are going to be my winter wheels. I love the Type S wheels! This will give me a chance to get the Type S wheels reconditioned and look new again. Apparently one is slightly bent and cannot be balanced 😔 So the Type S wheels will be taken to a wheel shop and straightened out and all the rash fixed. I looked in the aftermarket options but there's really nothing out there that would be a suitable replacement. I was thinking of the Konig Ampliform But I didn't really want to spend $280 a wheel. Plus I'll have to get a new tires because those are 18s.

 

Do up the 06 wheels in bronze for that custom winter look...

 

As stated you shouldn't have any issues with the 2nd set of TPMS sensors. You may need to drive with the new sensors for a few miles before they synch up but you should be fine. I have two sets of rims/tires/TPMS sensors (snow tires and summer tires) and switch them seasonally with no issue other than driving a bit for them to synch up.

 

So I won't even need to get them programmed at a tire shop It will automatically sync up? They were never on my car before, these wheels from a 2006. That would be fantastic if they automatically sync up

 

They SHOULD. When I change my tires, I do the front axle first and drive around the block and watch them sync with the MID. Then the rears and repeat. Just give 'em a few miles before worrying about any tire shop programming.

 

My summer tire rims and TPMS were originally used on another Acurazine member's car. They were then used on my 2004 TL and on my 2008 TL-S and I have never done anything other than mount them and drive. I've never had any programming or ever had to visit a dealer. So based on my personal experience you should be all set.

 

thanks guys i put them on, no tpms light or anything. they automatically calibrated!

 

Well light did eventually come on 😔. Looks like the driver's front is bad. Since it says it reads like 55 PSI all the other ones seem to be accurate. After driving for a bit it pops up telling me to check my sensors and then it shows no readings. Then there will be random days where it doesn't pop up at all It's weird

 

That one sensor likely has a battery that is on it's way out.
