My Ride: 07 BMW 525i Premium Package, Xenon Lighting Package, manual Transmission. Titanium Grey, 20% Tint around the back, 70% V-Kool on front.
Planned mods: Style 71 wheels with Toyo Proxy 4 tires, Sachs suspension upgrade, upgraded stereo, and many more to come.
There's another option to fit the sensors if your OEM valve stem doesn't fit the new wheels. My BBS RGR has a very small valve stem and the OEM valve stem doesn't fit. There are places where you can buy adapters to fit the sensors, but the other options is to buy new valve stems from tire rack. $10 a piece and it fits my wheels perfectly. Just install new rear tires and I am able to fit the sensors back to my rim.
But my TPMS light is still on since I haven't change out the fronts yet.... Just thought I will share.
