BBS LM-R and 997 GT3 TPMS

I'm thinking of jumping into some BBS LM-Rs for new shoes for the wifey ... Can I use the stock sensors on the new rims without issue?

you have to order the adapters that attach to the valve stem inside the wheels. the sensors fit into them, its the only way to go. trust me

I'm planning on running the sport cups with stock rims for the track and maybe these LM-Rs on PS2s for normal driving. So you recommend that I spend the money on the adaptors for the LM-Rs? Tirerack sells a set of 4 for $360.

I purchased my wheels from Iforged and their sensor adaptors cost $60 for a set of 4. I TOTALLY think its the way to go. I've had problems with my sensors because my tire shop decided they would band them instead of getting the adaptors. I will have my adapters this week.

OE sensors will fit into the LM-R. No adapters needed.
