Default "relocating tire pressure monitors"

I am getting some custom wheels,and my tire monitors will not fit the factory way!
Just wondering if anybody has used the "strapping" method,and of so have you had any problems!

Thanks much,George

How are they fitting? Do they stick out instead of sitting flush with the wheel?

I cut the stems, epoxied them in place and then had the tire shop put a band over them for my wheels. I still had one come loose. On the redo, we used 1/4" wide strips of duct tape and taped the sensor onto the band so that it can't get loose, then rebanded it.
