How to check pressure on iForged Drift Wheels

My Low Tire light came on. How to check pressure on iForged Drift Wheels? I can't fit my hand through the wheel. Do I need to take it off the car? It's pouring rain right now, so I may tackle this when it dries.

if you cant fit your hands through the spokes, try lifting the car up a bit and moving your hand behind the wheel. That's what I did for the first few months of having these wheels, but since then I've managed to fit my hands somehow..

vaseline your hand and slide it through the spokes...

Go to your nearest autoparts store...you can find extended valve stems which you screw on and unscrew when you put air in your tire or check your pressure.

Reach around the back of the wheel. Make sure the valve stem is on the bottom

The rain stopped this morning. I ended up reaching around the rear wheel to loosen and then check the pressure. What a PAIN IN THE @$$. Ruined my shirt doing it too.

Thanks...

I was wondering how this worked on multi-piece wheels. I just picked up some Forgeline's they have some sort of thing that comes out of the wheels and pokes through one of the stud holes. The valve cap is made to look like the other hex type screws in the wheels. I thought that was pretty neat.
