Angry Please: Urgent help required fitting my rims!

I need urgent help. I am trying to fit my 19" Racing hart J8's, but have come accross a problem whilst trying to fit them.

There are 5 threaded bars for the nuts. No problem, however there is a 6th one on the hub which is slightly in from the circumfrence of the 5. What is this for? Tyre pressure sensor?

The 18" OE rims have recesses in the back to accommodate this, but the RH rims do not and is stopping me from fitting them! What can I do. I am almost in tears on this as I am desperate to get these on!

What can I do to overcome this 6th piece of metal tube with a bolt in it?

Please I need your help!

Just unscrew it. It's there so you dont put the rear wheels on the front by accident. It has no other purpose.

I am assuming you have Brembo's.

just take it off...you don't need it for aftermarket wheels. TPS is INSIDE the stock tires, so unless you take it off and fit it INTO your tires before mounting and balancing, they won't work anymore, so your tps gauge will display --:--

just a heads up.

Thanks for the replies, but it looks like it is actually welded onto the hub! There is a brass hexagonal screw at the top!

Well, if it just screws off then that would be a bonus.

Once again, thanks for the replies.

Also, I did notice that one of the rims has a HUGE friggin scratch on the OUTER rim! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, think this is DHL, as I am sure the guy who sold me them did not have it on when he sold me them! In fact, he would have said something to me.
