Tire pressure gauge light always on

Please correct me if im wrong but i believe the orange light near my fuel with an "!" is always on. i have after market 18" enkei rims i dont know if that has something to do with it. I checked the air pressure on all 4 tires and they all have plenty air. any ideas? let me know. thanks guys.

In the oem rims are devices that are reffered to as the Tpms (tire pressure monituring sensors I believe) that inform your ecu when your tire pressure is low, you don't have these so it throws an automatic sensor idicating your tire pressure is low.
That's what I would guess.

i think you can get them from most tire shops that do the tire installs. They should be able to set you up.

Or you can try the f/s section on the forums - you might be able to score a set for pretty cheap there...
