New rims and TPMS. Do these look like they work?

Ok, I just got these rims in and I am trying to figure out if the TPMS modules fit or not. Can someone with some knowledge tell me if they look like they fit or not?

are these the 17" ones from ebay????

and it looks like you are good to go.... after you change the wheels out it will take about 10 to 15 miles for the sensors to reset..

These are the 18 X 9.5 from Goodwin Racing. I hope to post some pics once I get tires and have them on the car. I was mainly concerned with the gap between the sensor and the rim itself. I didn't know if they had to sit down on the rim or not. It looks like they are curved somewhat for this purpose. Thanks swoope!

9.5? whats the offset and is that on all four corners.?

also whoever is mounting your tires, i hope they dont bust the sensors. a shop that did my friends car, broke a sensor and they did was just say sorry.

That's good to hear. I never could find anybody who knew so I just took a chance on it. I wasn't really expecting them until later this week. You should have seen the grin on my face when I came home from work and found the UPS truck in my driveway.

I wonder how they broke them? I plan on going to the Discount Tire right up the street.

just make sure they have a touchless machine, and are used to doing tpms and you will be fine....

tpms if very common now.
