Default Does corvette alloy wheel must use tire sendor for air?

Hi,

Thanks to my dealer, he broke my tire sensor hose or the tip, so tire is flat and it won't hold air. I am ordering tire sensor for replacement, but meanwhile, I would like to drive.

Does corvette alloy wheel must use tire senor to hold air? or is it just like any other alloy wheel that any air hose(sorry, i don't know the term) would do? Then, any tire shop should know what to do?

Thanks

You can use a regular valve stem on the wheels.

A regular rubber valve stem would work if you need to drive the car until the sensor comes in.
