Hey everyone, i was planning on getting some Volks racing Gt-s or Sf Challenge and ive been told they dont take tmps. But ive also been told there are aftermarket sensors available. I was wondering, are these aftermarket sensors compatible with the rx8's sensor? And also, if they are, where can i get these and how do i know its compatible with the rims im planning on getting? Any help would be awesome. Thanks

 

Wow I did not know they're aftermarket tmps out there on the market! If thats the case get the Volk SF Challenge!

These are some aftermarekt tmps sensors that i just found... does anyone on this forum have an aftermarket sensor?

 

You know I called tirerack.com and they will sell you after market ones I think for like $12.
Call them and ask them how good they are and how they hold up.

 

they will not work for the SF-Challenges. no TPMS will.

 

dont you mean tpms(tire pressure monitoring system)

 

Yeah but the tpms will not work for sf piaa or any 2 peice wheels that I know of

 

i'm just so limited on the choice of rims because of the tmps, but i love the tmps, saved me many times on my long drives

 

I hear ya on that bro. I just gave in and I'm going with ace klassik 19's off set from edgeracing.com great price too!

 

They do make a TPMS that isn't integrated with the valve stem but is instead wrapped around the center of the wheel like a belt.

I haven't seen them in a long time but they should work with any type of wheel.

Yeah it is the Smartire system mentioned by Mazdaspeed above:

Those should fit on any wheel. It doesn't necessarilly integrate with the RX-8's system.

Do Volk GT-Cs take TPMS?
