Rims that takes TPMS
#126
wonder if you have even been to www.discounttiredirect.com , i have seen a bunch of selections of wheels there and they also have tpms mentioned there? Can anyone tell me if the wheels that they list will take tpms for sure like tirerack.com or they just list everything they have depending on the size?

I am going to clean up the rims and change my plugs tomorrow. I will try to take some pictures to post here so that those interested are welcome to look. I inspected them fairly closely and I dont see any scuffs, scratches, or anything of that nature on any one of them. Other than alot of brakedust, they are basiclally flawless. I would not be selling them if there were something wrong with them as I would not sell junk to anyone. I hope to post some pictures in the next day or two. Bare with me as I have been so busy the last week and didnt have time to do much of anything.

Summer rims, TPMS questions
Bought a 2005 RX_8 GT this past January and bought a set of snow tires. Used the stock rims with TPMS for the snow tires, thinking I'd get a separate set of rims for the summer tires I removed (Kumhos with a lot of tread left).
It's time to switch, and ideally I'd like a set of light, Mazda TPMS compatible rims that have the same dimensions as stock (since I want to keep the summer tires I have), without being the same as the stock wheels I have in the winter. Any suggestions?
Also, when I look at Tirerack, etc., they often mention TPMS, but is this the same TPMS that came with the stock rims? If not, do I need to have the sensor in the car reprogrammed every time I switch from summer to winter tires and back?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
BTW, I the 40th anniversary wheels I've seen at the local dealer are stunning (for aesthetics, I like seeing the rounded triangle/rotory theme suggested or repeated in the wheels), but I suspect they're too pricey for me.

FYI...
All wheels that TireRack shows for the RX8 are TPMS friendly. I do not know if you can reuse the stock sensors, but a new set @ TR runs about $220 if memory serves me. I believe they are OEM sensors.

a lil off topic, but my enkei wheels dont have TPMS in them, nor do i plan on putting it in them, but how do i get the TPMS light to not blink after 10 mins of driving? i dont like lights flashing at me. makes me feel like somethings wrong.
i did search for the one thread i was going to ask this in, but couldnt find it.
thanks

The main thing is that you have 4 sensors, and they are all showing relatively same pressures. If you mount two, but leave other two in trunk, it won't work. either all 4 mounted in rim, or all 4 in trunk. Will take 10 minutes of driving before they resync with the TPM system though.
Are those 17" or 18" Enkei RFP-1's? My 19" Axis Hiro's are off the car and up forsale and getting ready to buy some 17" RFP-1's and was on here to find out if they took TPMS (so i can transfer them to the new wheels). Do you know if yours will actually fit them if you did have them?
