Guys,

I am planning to replace my stock wheels with aftermarket rims/tires.

I don't plan to have tps with my aftermarket set. When taking the stock wheels off the car, is it the same procedure with a Z model without the tps?

Anything I have to look for or remove?

Thanks,
Tony

 

No. The TPS is inside the tire so unless you are demounting/mounting tires on your own you don't need to worry. Just take the stock wheels off and put the new ones on. YOu won't get pressure readings any more but I'm sure you know that.
I'll be finding out how hard it is to demount/mount with the tps sensors myself this winter...should be interesting.

 

Thanks man.

hey tony, the only annoying thing about taking those tps's off is that everytime u start ur car, the tps display will show up! blinking till u change it. don't know about u, but it bugs the s*** out of me!!!!!!!!!

 

funnny, mine does not show up at all--I think there have been different experiences with diff cars

 

do u know how to turn it off! please help me, it so annoying!!! i have an 03 track...

 

As it has been said 1000 times before, you can't turn off or disable the TPMS. You either have to live with the light/beep or put the sensors in your aftermarket wheels.

 

I am annoyed by it too. I like to set my speed reading from the digital display. Everytime I start the car, it shows the psi ****. I am still on my stock. It saying "Rear". How do I know its right or left?

The top number is driver side the bottom is passenger

 

Thanks.

 

+1...
Don't forget to remove the little alignment bolts off of the front rotor hats. They're only there to make sure you don't mount the rear OEM rims to the front. There is one on each side of the front rotor hats. Use a small wrench or ratchet to take em' off. I believe it's either a 10mm or 12mm bolt.

 

Thanks vo7848. I had a coupe before and I took it out.

TPS is new to me.

I've only ever had the light go off once with my winter wheels on. Don't know why my experience has been different. Who knows.

 

Depending on the year of your car, you can get anything from a flashing light to annoying beeping sounds if you don't have them in the new wheels. BTW, it is illegal to remove them FYI.
