Hi all,

I have a set of 22" Zenetti Roma rims I'm attempting to mount on tires. The valve stem locations are quite inadequate and (from the pictures you see below) are causing me issues. The tire shop I took it to was less than helpful and offered no resolution.



Figure 1: Mounting option area 2 (top view)




Figure 2: Mounting option area 2 - note that the tire "professional said that the TPMS sensor can not be put here because the bead seats just on the other side of the grommet and he guaranteed there would be a leak




Figure 3: Mounting option area 1 (preferred location) - side profile to show barrel to lip dimensions




Figure 4: Mounting area option 1 (top view to show how far TPMS sensor sticks out)




Figure 5: Mounting area option 1 (near horizontal view)




Figure 6: The pig! help me get some new rims and tires on here.



Right now all I can think of as a solution is perhaps some 90 degree TPMS adapters like these:

Any help or input is appreciated. Like I said the tire shop I brought it to was less than helpful so I really have no clue what solution there is for this problem!

 

I would try to call the rim manufacturer to see what they recommend. Normally there is a flat mounting location inside the rim for TPMS. If it does not have it, then I am curious as to how others with these rims address this issue.

 

Very simple all these Chinese cast style wheels designed like this. Your tpms goes on inside and rubber valve goes in front . So youll have two valves one on inside which is your tpms which will still work but you wont be able to access it to put air then you put rubber one in front which you'll use just to put air. so flip the valves as you have it in picture. simple

 

you have 3 options, the adapter as shown and the installer has to be careful when mounting and dismounting. you mount the tire 1/2 way, put the tpms on while the tires 1/2 mounted and tighten everything down and mount the other 1/2 side. or as WB stated, drill another hole for the tpms on the drop point of the wheel and have dual valve stems. the tire shop you're going to should know what to do if they are smart.

 

Hey all thanks for the feedback,

What I ended up doing was yelling at the vendor then sending a large well-worded complaint letter to the wheel manufacturer.

In response they sent me machined hub-centric 15mm spacers, and the 90 degree valve stems I require as well and a t-shirt.

I respect a company that is willing to rectify an issue, especially when the vendor was less than helpful
