Do you have a picture of the wheels... unless someone here has used those exact wheels, no one will know. Here are what the sensors look like and one with the sensor mounted to a C5 ZO6 wheel:

Late model C5 sensor (2001+)



Early model sensor 97-2000) compared to a Late sensor



Mounted on a c5 wheel



Banded on a wheel ( Ido not know the brand of wheel).



Theres a NEW type of valve stem that is able to HOLD the TPS and the bands are no longer required. I dont have the link or name other than I seen on in a post a long while back. Looked pretty cool!

If you can't put them on the normal way,use bands. That's hat I had to do with my i-Forged Swifts.
