Tire pressure gauge light always on

Please correct me if im wrong but i believe the orange light near my fuel with an "!" is always on. i have after market 18" enkei rims i dont know if that has something to do with it. I checked the air pressure on all 4 tires and they all have plenty air. any ideas? let me know. thanks guys.

did they put your sensors in the new wheels? or is it a rubber valve?

In the oem rims are devices that are reffered to as the Tpms (tire pressure monituring sensors I believe) that inform your ecu when your tire pressure is low, you don't have these so it throws an automatic sensor idicating your tire pressure is low.
That's what I would guess.

i think you can get them from most tire shops that do the tire installs. They should be able to set you up.

Or you can try the f/s section on the forums - you might be able to score a set for pretty cheap there...
