ORO-TEK™ - TPMS Sensor

Anyone try these on a set of sidewinder wheels or after market wheels?

I've got no idea, but if they are saying the same sensor works on 07-current Mini's, they are smoking something.

The 2010's + use a 433MHz sensor that is not compatable with the earlier years.

The oem beru sensors are around the same $$ if you look around...multiple part numbers for EACH change in the mini's tpms ....about 4 or 5 if you include the late gen1 cabrio's that switched to this style system in 2007-2008....
my suggestion....if you need a set, check with a vendor that knows mini's to avoid a headache if suppling your own parts when you get your tires/rims mounted, since you will be the one out the mounting/balancing fee. If the mounter supplies the parts, and they are wrong....it is a pain, but they will eat the $$ of remoting and shipping/returning the wrong parts.
