Adam,
I'm in for two. Thanks for setting this up
btw, for those that aren't familiar with how to mount the TPMS, you can either mount it through your existing valve stem hole (if the stem fits but more importantly the angle of the hole is correct), have a shop drill another hole or use these mounting bands/straps. The only bad thing about the straps is that sometimes, the tpms will come loose from the band and it will get shattered if that happens.

To be honest, I would love to have this, but am unsure of installation...I have OZ rims. Whom can I ask about installation in my rims? TIA

Worse comes to worse, they drill another hole in your wheels

Any pics of the sensors themselves?
I am in if they work with the hollow turbo twists (for track), possibly a second set of sensors for my street Volks too if they are compatible.

For those of you haveing questions on fitment issues with certain rims and on valve steams.
Adam,
If they have specific question regarding wheel clearances etc email me a picture of the wheel showing the valve hole, our sensors are quite small similar in size similar to the Beru sensor (OE equipment for Porsche).
I have no issue with quantities, you can paint/anodize/powder coat the valve stems they are made from 6061 Aluminum so they are somewhat resistant to oxidization.

Edwin, I think you are saying that drilling holes is needed due the hole angle being important, is that right?
Seems to me that it would be best to be able to drop the sensor in using the existing hole. Hopefully someone will confirm whether that is possible with the hollow turbo-twists.
Also, can anyone from experience let us know how the pressure readings compare to manual readings with a decent gauge? +/- 1 psi (what I read on the website) isn't great, ie you could get 2psi different readings between two tyres at the same pressure!
