Calling all CCW owners!

Can you mount tire pressure sensors to CCW wheels without banding them? Specifically SP 500s, but I would imagine it would be the same for all styles. And if anyone happens to have a picture of a MY coupe with SP500s please post it.

I have one of the first sets of 505A's which required banding of the sensors as they hadn't developed that design yet. My understanding was they changed the air valve stem design shortly after and the SP 500's came long after mine so I would presume they can mount the sensors the same as the stockers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

Here's a shot of what my valve stem looks like.

My SP500's were new last February, and they use standard GM TPS with no bands.

I purchased new 505a's last summer. I had CCW put sensors in them. They are the "standard OEM sensors" for my 2000 vert! By the way, I needed a pretty large magnet to set them up!!!!
