Default Replacing wagon wheels on 98 Vert

Purchased a set of thin spoke chrome wheels to replace wagon wheels. Question is, can I use/transfer tire pressure sensors from the old wheels to the new. Just want expert opinions before I talk to tire shops.
Thanks all.
Ricky

You sure can! If you keep them at the same corner, from old to new, you won't even have to reprogram them.

I remember when i got my new wheels, they asked me if i wanted them to rebuild the sensors, i asked them what it was for, i didn't know anything about tire presser sensors LOL But yeah tire shops will swap the sensors to new wheels. Enjoy your new wheels

Depends on how old your current sensors are. If they are 10 years or older, I would definitely replace them. I just purchased one for my 99 from Advance Auto on-line and got it for $47 shipped (I had a 25% off deal). If they are just a few years old, I'd swap them over to the new rims. Some places will want you to buy a "rebuild kit" which does NOT replace the battery (they are non-replaceable).
