ceej335rydah · 07-12-2010, 03:00 PM

Hey guys I'm planning of buying an aftermarker replica wheels(19" Avant Garge Type M310) for my 2007 E92. Do you guys know if it is compatible with my oem TPMS in my stock wheels? I just want to make sure that the valve stem on my stock wheels will fit the aftermarket wheels.

Thanks

Most modern wheels are TPMS compatible. Ask in the "Wheel & Tire" section.

Canadian cars use FTM (Flat Tire Monitor) vs. TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). FTM uses ABS to detect differences in tire speed, which would indicate a loss of pressure. It's not as accurate as TPMS, but it does not require the use of wheel-mounted sensors.

Ahhh - correct. I didn't notice the OP was in Canada.

So - no sensors for you! You don't need to worry about your wheels being "sensor friendly."

So you're saying I dont have any TPMS sensors inside my stock wheels right now? Cool!! You just saved me US$210.00 from ordering new sets of TPMS sensors!

Thanks a lot!

If you're in Canada then you don't have sensors.
