Default TPMS for aftermarket wheels

For those with aftermarket wheels what
brand or Mhz TPMS sensors did you install
in your wheel and where did you get them.

I am thinking of getting a set of 18" Fikse
ET 25 thanks to Brian and am wondering about this

Also why does the owners manual say to check
the oil hot? I always have been used to checking
cold after everything settles in the pan overnight etc

I ordered an extra set from TireRack with my OZ wheels, they are the same as OEM.

sold you OEM's with you Superleggs

They sell the TPMS separately, just give them a call or try Luke on the Wheels & Tires Forum

Default Drive the car, get the oil hot, let it settle for about 20 min, check

It should not make a huge difference checking it cold

Default Wow! I've owned two sets of Fikses, nothing better IMO.

18s are lightrer, will ride better, and there's more rubber available. Glad to see somebody actually cares about what's important, and not just going for the fly-hooptie pimp look.

Fikse service is 2nd to none as well.

Default Yeah they are great

I just have to make sure I get the correct
ET as they are expensive and non returnable

I know a Porsche place that is a dealer and
I am going to see if they will order for me
making sure all will fit well
