TPMS that fit aftermarket rims
After 2 years of driving with my aftermarket rims my low pressure tire light suddenly came on. I decided I wanted the convenience of the TPMS since I had a few times where I had a slow leak and the TPMS would have been very useful.
The rims I have do not fit factory TPMS. Doing some research I know you can band the tpms around the rims but I prefer not to do that. Since my car is an 03 and I figured the life of the TPMS is around 7years I might as well buy new ones.
Doing some searching I found these aftermarket TPMS that replaces the factory TPMS. They are made my ORO-TEK. The interesting thing about these are that they are adjustable so they can fit aftermarket rims. Has anyone heard or have experience with these? I tried to search but my search skills failed.

For $55 I bought new ones from http://www.alltiresupply.com They are the OEM Schraeder-Bridgeport sensors that Nissan uses. I saw those Oro-Tek sensors but didn't see taking a chance on them when for $5 more I could get what came from the factory.

The OEM TPMS does not fit my rim due to the angle of the value. It makes the TPMS stick too high up. I would go for OEM if they fit but the ones I posted can be angled. My only concern is if it will still fit with the ability to be angled.

Any new Tpms will have to be registered to the car.
Just a quick update, decided to go Discount tire and they where able to do it all. TPMS/Install/register.
They banded the tpms to the rim. Figured if there was ever any issue I can always take it back to them since it was all done in one spot.
