Default Titan TPMS senors from OEWheels?

I was looking at a set of TPMS senors from OE Wheels. I know people have used these. Which are $184 a set.

Looking at their site I also found these. The picture looks the same but the manufacture looks different. Anyone have any experience with Titan TPMS? They are

They are about $50 cheaper. Thoughts? Also do you need to replace all 5, the 5th being the one on the spare? Can the spare tire battery dying cause the dreaded TPMS senor or can you just replace the 4 active tires and let the spare one die.

I'm sure either will work. You don't need to replace the spare. I have the spare dead on both my A8s, it just doesn't read the spare if you don't change it. No warning lights or anything.

Default What's the difference?

I use the TPMS sensors from OE Wheels with no problems. In fact they were programmed with my old TPMS sensor ID numbers. I think Jon Cook is the TPMS tech I desalt with there, very helpful. My car still hasn't acquired the spare with the new sensors, but I had that one installed much later than the 'main' four and haven't remembered to 'initiate' the wheels again since.

The two links you supplied use the same images, so not sure where the difference is. Just make sure to get 433mhz for the car.

Yeah I noticed that the pics were the same. I was just looking to see if anyone had used the Titan set.

I have one of those sets, or may be even the third one and it works well. For now. Nobody can say for how long because they are on the market only for a year, or so.
