Hey,
to those that got aftermarket rims that are NOT tpms compatible -- how do you guys deal w/ or get rid of the TPMS warning light?

i ordered a set of VOLKS, and b/c they ahve a special valve stem, they are NOT tpms compatible -- but i dont' want to drive around w/ that annoying light on.

I'm a type of person that stops at the nearest gas station and fills up the engine oil when the light comes one (i carry a liter of 5w-20 synthetic) and fill it whenever the light comes on...

How do i get rid of the TPMS light since my new volks will not have the TPMS on them?

Please help!

:eek: You really should check your oil more often. Waiting for "the oil light to come on" is not good. Rotarys use more oil than other engines.

Sorry I don't know the answer to getting rid of the tpms light on the dash.

I just put a small square piece of electrical black tape over it. Hardly ever even notice it's there. Little Ghetto, but it works really well.
