Hey, Grumpy. Let me check when I get home. I might have a set for you.
I bought new sensors last year and got the O rings but didn't need them. I think I tossed them in a garage organizer.
I'll check when I get home...about an hour and 1/2 or so.

Crap. 
Sorry, Grumpy. I tore my garage apart and can't find them. I also checked a couple of online sites thinking I could get a lead on the part number but no luck.
Don't know if this will help but I did find some notes that I took off of the Forum here that said you could get the same rubber O rings at any good hardware store. My note says to ask for #9 O-rings. Don't know for sure if that's the right size; it's just what my notes say.
Hope this helps a little.

The 2001 - 2004 sensors dont use an "O" ring seal. It uses a formed rubber seal that looks like it is special built for that sensor. There are a couple of people on the forum who expierment with and repair the sensors There was a post on here just the other day about home battery replacement for the sensors. Sounds like he may have some spare parts.
You might ask the guy who rebuilds the sensors. I believe his company is Necritions or something like that. He may have access to some seals or know where to get them.
Here are some more pictures of the 2001 - 2004 seals and sensors.

What happened to your sensor that you need a seal?

I was also having a slow leak issue with one of my tires and thought I would get some o-rings for the sensor in case it wasn't leaking from around the rim before I pull the tire off the rim. I have a 99 so I was interested in the part # or where to buy them. These are obviously the older style sensors.

Unless damaged, you do not need to change them.

When I installed my sensors in my chrome Z06 wheels, I coated the seals with a very thin coat of RTV BLUE silicone sealer. The retainer nut requires a specific torque also. As per the Service Manual, they should be torqued to: 106 inch/pounds 0R 12 Nm. Please make sure you use an INCH pound Torque Wrench.
These seals seal very well. You should not ave an issue.
