Tomorrow probably i will get a set of dymag wheels...However i want to keep TPMS sensors that make our lives easier...Are they transferrable from one wheel to another?

So you just remove the sensors from OEM wheels and install them on aftermarket?

Yes, sometimes they're tricky to remove without breaking them, but your aftermarket wheels should be drilled to accept your OEM TPMS sensors. If they're not, your wheel retailer should be able to provide you with brackets that relocate the sensors inside the barrel.

If you are planning on keeping the other set of wheels, you can buy new OEM (Beru) sensors and valve stems for under $400/set.

Yes, just switch from oem to the new wheels. The system will relearn the sensors, helps to to RF to RF, etc.

I would check with Dymag before buying these. There's no way I'd drill a carbon fiber barrel myself.

Usually you have to specify that the wheel is for TPMS.

There are ways around having tpms lights illuminated w/ sensors removed. I cut a 4" piece of pvc to fit snug, wrapped sensors in bubble wrap, drilled the pvc for a tire valve and hid the psudo pipe bomb in the trunk. I can't stand tpms
