Anyone use the aftermarket sensors for a 2000? At retail OEM a full set is over $400. I am having my HRE's refinished and need to install new sensors.

Because I try to minimize removing and replacing tires on my HRE's, I am renewing not only the wheels but the sensors and tires. I have read that battery replacement may be a bit iffy. Since I only want to road force balance my tires only once, I deceided to go with all new. I am wondering if the aftermarket last as long and work as well as the OEM.

Thanks everybody. I went with the tire rack sensors. Best price but I hope they are as good as OEM. I will take a shot. If they are not, I will let you know!

You'll be fine, Schrader most likely made your oem's. They will look a little smaller and molded in red, but they are made by the same company that manufactured the originals that I just replaced in the 98.

Because you are a member of this forum, you can have them for free. Please send me your address and off they go. If you want them fast, send me the overnight shipping cost when you receive them, otherwise they are free.

BTW, Tire Rack claims the 63 dollar sensor they sell are OEM. We shall see!

I may have four new rubber gaskets for them. I will look. If not, they cannot cost much. Just so you know, all four work but since I am redoing my wheels and new tires, I am replacing the 8 year old senors.
