Question About TPMS Transfer To New Rims
To clarify, I am not asking if it will work. I want to know what it takes to transfer the TPMS. I have read threads about banding and other methods. I have a rather basic question. Why can't it just be transferred as is without doing something like banding? I just can't picture how it is on the stock wheels. If anyone has a picture of that it would be great.
My new rims are Enkei GTC01's. They have 2 holes. Is the 2nd hole for the TPMS and will it transfer there without any additional parts? Or do I need an adapter like this: http://www.iforged.com/press/may25/may25.php
I would appreciate any info. Thanks guys.

The problem in mounting has to do with the direction of the hole (OEM wheels the stem goes in at an angle) so there is proper clearance for the TPMS unit and the wheel/tire.
The two holes on the wheel have nothing to do with TPMS, they're so you can evacuate and fill with nitrogen more easily.
Base on the link you posted, those adapters should work, especially since this one is what the Nissan sensors look like:
