Default What are these?

I recently acquired some corvette sawblade styled wheels, and these came with them. Apparently they are low tire pressure sensors that wrap around the rims.

I only have these 3. Is there a way to tell which side wheel they belong on, or does it not matter? Also, is there any demand for them?

Thanks

Looks like a Tire Pressure Sensor that was installed with bands. My sensors are installed on my i-Forged wheels with bands. Those sensors aren't Corvette items though.

Looks like old ZR-1 Air pressure sensors to me.
Also the different color labels lets you know which wheel position it goes on.
There was someone looking for some of these IIRC in the ZR-1 part of the forum.

I guess I should have said "Not a C5 item". I never had a C4 so I don't know about those.

Funny....all the OP had to do, was use the GM number (that is right on the sensor label), and use the CF search.....or google.....and he would have had his answer.......

What is even funnier that someone is going to give a hard time and waste server space bagging on a guy who just joined this month and maybe knows absolutely nothing about part numbers or even where to go to look for them.
