Style 230's and TPMS

PiperD · 04-21-2007, 10:41 PM

Tried different search terms, got no results.

Is it possible that these wheels are not offered in the US due to a possible incompatibility with the TPMS sensors?

You should know...you have 230s. ...Are yours not compatible??

Actually, in Canada we don't have the TPMS sensors. We have the not so accurate rotational speed method and i hate it :mad: since i can have tire air loss (including a flat) and it doesn't tell me.

I'm guessing it works with the TPMS, like any rim, since you can 'parts' special order these rims in the US.

What i would like to know is what would be involved to convert the Canadian cars to TPMS.

Probably just the TPMS sensors from Tire Rack. Its a sticky on this thread.

Right - FTM (Flat Tire Monitor)

I thought I recall reading somewhere that some wheels cannot physically accomodate the sensors, hence the original question. If it's indeed true that allwheels are compatible then the issue is moot.

You'd still be missing the receivers in each wheelwell, never mind the connection point to tie into the car's computer system.

How about going the other way- can you go from TPMS to FTM?
