17x11 Welds with Beadlocks what are yall doing for TPMS sensors?
Just got a set of my 17x11 Weld S77B for my Grand Sport, they are beadlocks, what are yall doing for TPMS sensors? A guy at the specialty shop is telling me there isnt much you can do because of the angle of the hole. He is also telling me doing a rubber steamed setup would probably rip under load... Now if I dont do them Im going to have to do a pvc pipe capped and pressurized?...
Really not wanting to go that route. Who is doing what to achieve this?

Remove TPMS sensors from track wheels and replace with solid valve stems if they will fit. I hate rubber valve stems since they flex so much when you are in a hurry or in a position where you can't get a good angle on them.
Car will run fine without TPMS sensors. Just hit dismiss on the steering wheel center button to get rid of the message.

I had the same problem with my RCC fronts. Haven't tried it yet, but I read somewhere that pressing the traction control button 10 consecutive times will disable the TPMS. Good luck!

I'm having Toyo R888R mounted on spare set of stock wheels on Monday.
I had decided to spring for TPMS to avoid the distraction of warning flashing on the DIC. I suspect even after hitting the button to dismiss, it will cycle through and reappear at intervals during the session.
Secondarily, I assume the data on tire pressures and temps displayed in Cosworth tool box is generated by the TPMS and might be worth keeping.
