Default tire air pressure problem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a 1998 c5 that I just put HRE wheels on, and I have a set of pressure sensors, but where they attach to the valve stem does not work because of the different shape inside the wheels, what do I do so I can use my air pressure sensors?

either glue them on the inside of the wheel or get some big clamp(looks like hose clamps) from hardware store and band then to the inside of the wheel.

If you call HRE they also sell air pressure sensors that work with the wheels. Good luck with the wheels!! Thanks, Dan

This is how HRE sent them to me when I bought mine 7 years ago. The sensors worked fine.
