TPMS

I used the stock ones on my wheels and it works but only sometimes:

First time the valve stems were too long and were hitting the calipers. Had to put in shorter stems, which are difficult to get to when you need to air up. The placement of the stems has them right at the caliper.

The sensors have been an issue ever since. sometimes they work, sometimes not. The installer couldnt figure it out and of course the dealer says its not their issue. I finally gave up and live with an intermittent warning light; it goes red when I have a flat.....i confirmed that....

you can use your stock tpms. if your installer is telling you otherwise then go to someone else who knows what he's doing.

mine works absolutely fine. you don't even need to buy the "special" iforged adapter.

They got them hooked up. They look great. I should have gotten better tires though. The Generals are noisy. I'll get some pics up tommorow. I have to wash her first.
