Wink Sensors

Hello, can anyone help me! I just bought new wheels and tires for my RX8, now I have 18" chrome wheels on there, and I still have the old tires (probly sell them)...however, I'm wondering what "sensors" are (I know they monitor tire pressure) but where are they, on the wheel or the tire? How do I get them to be compatible with my new wheels, because now the (_!_) tire pressure light is coming on telling me that my TP is off, and it's annoying me! I know nothing about these, thanks!!

Do a search for TPMS.

That is what the "sensor" is. Tire Pressure Monitoring System.

Enjoy!

It's the valve stem and if you didn't buy wheels that will accept them then you can't get rid of the light.

See if the wheel dealer that you bought them from, they may take them back and seel you wheels for TPMS.

They are partialy at fault.
