Default TPM Sensor in new wheels

So I picked up a Weld RTS drag pack this weekend for my vette and I need to figure out a way to mount TPM Sensor in them. I've ordered the correct sensor from tire rack however from what I've found the metal valve steam won't work with those wheels. I'm not sure if they make any sort of attachment like in the link below.

I found this link as well for an idea.

I'm just looking for the easiest way to get the sensors working properly so I can take traction control all the way off. BTW did I mention these sensor are stupid.

Thanks.


Here's a few pics of the wheels when I was test fitting.

The common solution is the banding, like you linked above. Just for info here's another mention of it with pics:

Then there are also 90 degree adapters that "may" work for you. Here's an older post as an example:

Good luck. Post pics when you're done.
