Default Iforged TPMS adapters?

Can someone explain how these work to me? Iforged's site is as ambiguous as possible. Does it mount in the valve stem hole? How do I know if I need straight or 90 degree? How do I know if it will work on my wheels?

Has anyone used these on wheels other than Iforged? Experiences?

I found installation instructions and I need straight, but the way the damn Ronals are designed I'm not sure the valve stem is long enough to reach where I could actually put air in the tire : /

I don't know if there is an updated application or not,but in the past they used bands and epoxy to attach the sensor minus the valve stem to the inside of the wheel.

Not sure if that is what you are referring to on the website,but it will work.

I had to use bands last year, the i-Forged website or talking to them were absolutely no help at all. They sold me something that wouldn't come close to working.

Here's the 90 degree sensors. If your valve stem comes out behind the wheel face and passes through the outer rim in the location of a bolt, you need the 90 degree sensors. If your valve stem pentetrates the outer rim in a traditional location, you need the straight adapter.

HAS ANYONE USED THE 90 DEG ADAPTER FROM IFORGED?
