Hello,

I recently purchased the M6 Rims 167. Can I swap my current TPMs from the 138 to the M6? Can I reuse my lug bolts as well? If i remove the TPMs from my old wheels, does that mean that I can inflate the wheels anymore, I need to get some a new air valve right? Thank you again.

1. You need to locate a competent honest tire shop.
2. Educate yourself on TPMS / wheel and tire info - there are TONS of posts here .. USE SEARCH
3. The simple answer is YES, you can use the factory TPMS (they are 2-piece) on your new to you wheels. It is recommended you purchase a 'repair kit' that includes new gaskets for the TPMS & Valve Stem. They are about $8.
4. YES - a valve is required to permit you to inflate the tire ....
