Default O2 sensors

I just bought a set of C6 Z06 rims and was wondering what the deal is with the o2 sensors? Iam keeping my old rims can i just transfer them over? How much are new ones? Can i put them on myself?

I have the best deal on tire pressure sensors, but I'm not sure what you mean by 02 sensors and wheels though?

He probably meant TPS (tire pressure sensors), but shortened it up.

My coolant temp sensor is inside my AC compressor because that's what cools the car, my throttle position sensor is on the gas pedal, and the knock sensor is on the passenger door incase someone wants a lift. J/K.

To answer your question.....if truely you are referring to the tire pressure sensors....then yes you can move them from your old rims to your new ones. You need to unmount the tires from the old rims and remove the TPS (tire pressure sensors) from each wheel. Then when the tires are mounted on the new rims install a TPS on each wheel. Without them your DIC (driver information console) will constantly remind you of their absence.

Price new is $60-$75 each.

I don't think so. The throttle position sensor is still on the throttle body. The pedal sensor has got to have some other name. I don't know what that is.
