Default Which Aftermarket TPMS??

I got my hands on some nice Z16 wheels and need to add pressure sensors. There are aftermarket from Titan, Oro, and ITM.

Any idea of the differences between them?
How about battery life (my original sensor are still going at 14 years).
Do they all weigh about the same?

Or am I better off looking for some used OEM sensors and changing the batteries?

This is for a 2000.

Thanks!

Rob

I am not familiar with those aftermarket ones. I went with Schrader. They made the OEM ones and are exactly the same as OEM except the plastic body is red/orange instead of black. It might give you another source to search for.

It might also be a good time to consider upgrading to the 2001 sensors, fobs, and receiver. The sensors are cheaper, the new fobs are more reliable and cheap on the auction site, and the changeover is pretty easy. I did the changeover on my '99 and am happy with it. Take a look at the link below.

Good luck.

I'm getting these for a second set of wheels. Upgrading would require me to get 8 sensors so its not an option.

Thanks
