Center mount valve stems on aftermarket wheels
I have a 1999 with Billet Specialties wheels. It had these wheels when I bought it and did not have the sensors mounted. The wheels are 18 in the front and 20 rear.
The wheels have a center mounted valve stem so the OEM sensors would have no support.
Because of the location of the stems, it is difficult to read the pressures, especially in the front, as there is little space between the rotors and the stem.
I would like to add sensors and would prefer those that will tie into the factory display.
I have contacted Billet several times but have not been able to resolve the problem.
Any ideas?

The AFTERMARKET has come to our rescue. There are NUMEROUS very nice adaptors for this very purpose.
Here are a couple web sites you can view:

Hope this helps. GOOGLE tire pressure sensor adaptors for more choices.
