C6 Wheels on C5 Vette TPS Issue
Hello new member here, sorry if this has been posted, did a quick search but couldn't find any info.
I have a 1999 Corvette with C6 wheels. My TPS does not work, I'm assuming it's because of the wheel swap. Is there a way to connect the TPS on the newer wheels? On the way out the door to school. Had to write quickly.
Thanks.

If the C6 wheel had C6 TPMS in them then there is no way to make the C6 TPMS talk to the C5 TPMS system. Different frequencies.
If they are C5 TPMS installed in C6 wheels then you must train them to the car:

Tpms
I usually find it better to install new tire pressure sensors when doing the new wheels. It never fails that one of them goes out when doing the swap. I have seen the early C5 wheel sensor not fit the factory C6 wheels, not sure about aftermarket wheels.
