Tire Pressure Sensor Removal
I just bought a set of aftermarket rims that came off a C6 and I was wondering if anyone knew how to take the sensors off my stock rims so i can put them on the new ones??
Also i was just wondering there should be no fitment issues with these wheels, cause i feel a little vibration when I hit 75 mph but I'm assuming I have to get them balanced.... thanks for any help

I replaced all four tire pressure sensors,with new ones from Gene Culley,before having the tires mounted and balanced on the C6 wheels.My original sensors probably still had a few more years of battery life left in them.

that is what ill most likely do. I think i'm just gonna buy new ones considering the sensors from the stock rims have been on the car for six years and need to be replaced soon eventually. It will just save me a hassle later on anyways... now i just need to find a shop who can put the sensors on for me in south florida, preferably somewhere in miami.
Anybody know a tire shop who could do this in miami? i am sure someone has had this done.... appreciate the input!

Any decent tire shop can install and program new tire pressure sensors.
With all the custom wheels that I've seen rolling around South Beach,I'm sure there are many good tire shops in the Miami area.
