• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Tpms question

Just recently acquired sx rims with tires, but the previous owner kept the tpms sensors. Should I go to the dealer and have them put them on my new rims? Or can I go to tire discounter or another place. I figured I need to buy 4 of them but does it matter where I go? I was going to mount the tires/wheels myself without the tpms sensors then just drive to where ever I'm going to have them installed. Would that be a concern or will it just show a light on my dash saying they are off? Thanks just wondering my best route to go
 
I believe you can use aftermarket sensor, about $30 to $50 each. Tire shops should have them or Costco. If you don’t mind the light, just wait until the next new set of tires because they have to remove all the tires to install them. Those sensors last about 10 yrs, more or less.

or you can buy them yourself and have the shop install them. they Need to be programmed to work with your car though.
