hi guys, i have a 996 tt but am thinking of buying some 19" tt oem rims that are available only for the purpose of having a TPMS installed.... the oem 996 rims will not take orange electr sensors and wandering if the 997 oem rims will take a nonOEM sensor....

the orange electr system has a continuous display of all 4 tires....

please advise,
and no, i won't buy a 997... no money to...

buy HELLA TC-400 from TireRack , i have it in my 2005 97 c2s and it works very good , the best part it will cost u _with the module and four sensors_ under $200 .

 

I also purchased aftermarket TPMS sensors & valves from Tire Rack to use in extra wheels with snow tires on my Cayenne. Worked perfectly. I think the brand was BERU or something like that. Ask Tire Rack.

 

beru is the manufacturer for porsche tpms systems...they also supply many other car companies

for porsche they are year and sometimes vin specific

if you go to the suncoast porsche site, they sell them and request your year and vin in order to supply the correct tpms sensors
