Default C5 ZO6 wheels with TPS?

Hello, I just picked up a set of ZO6 wheels for my 99 Coupe.

They haven't arrived yet, but they don't come with tire pressure sensors, correct? Will I be able to use a set from a 98 in the ZO6 wheels?

Thanks
Tom

If you use your old sensors don't forget to change the orings. You may have difficulty getting them to seal properly if you just reinstall the old seals. Your local bowtie should have stock. If not one of the corvette houses that sell rims should have some.

I did the same "mod" this past summer. That is my favorite wheel.

You're right, they do not come with the sensors. You should be able to use your sensors though.
