If the wheel is not designed to have the C5 TPMS installed in the valve stem hole, then people epoxy or band them or both to the inside of the barrel if they want the TPMS system to work.

If it was glued well, you probably couldn't take it off if you wanted too without wrecking it.
The bands are not cheap, and a pain anyway. If it did fall off you might hear it at slow speeds, and when moving it will just be stuck to the tire until you stop. Would also feel vibrations come and go too. Seen a lot of installers break the band removing, or worse install the tire and not even know they broke it. There are quite a few wheels that a valve mounted sensor wouldn't fit.

I had mine done this way when I went aftermarket and they work just fine. They had been banded previously but the bands in the rear wheels failed and the tpms went around and around causing tire damage.
