Does the TPMS work on aftermarket rims? theres a set of 18'' breyton gtr-s rims i really like and i was wondering if the TPMS worked for these?

 

Some it does, some it doesn't. Find someone who sells those rims new and ask them if they work before you buy.

 

They work fine on my Tenzo wheels.

 

do you need to buy replacement sensors when you put new rims on?

 

sensors don't need to be replaced when changing tires

 

Since the OP has a 2006, I'm fairly certain the TMPS is the old "indirect" type, where the computer just counts the tire revolutions to determine if a tire is going flat. As such, there are no sensors in the wheels, and no need to replace anything when changing wheels.

If the wheels will work with your car (brake clearance, body clearance, bolt pattern etcetera) they'll work with the TPMS.

 

Agreed, and the Breytons in question are direct TPMS compaible for those who may need it!

Why ?

 

sweet! does anyone have breytons that can maybe give me a review of them?

 

Because your post was bad info.

TPMS sensors work fine in any aftermarket wheel. And if as suspected in this case, it's a pre-'07 car, then there aren't even any sensors present, the ABS system senses wheel speed as its method of determining that a tire is down on pressure. In either case - doesn't matter one whit if they are factory wheels or aftermarket.

 

interesting..

 

Really? Mad? I missed reading the guy's signature.

Lighten up, Francis. Sheeesh.

 

Wow! Thanks guys. I learned something new today! I was wondering that SO much, why TireRack doesn't suggest adding a sensor to the wheel like it did for my mum's Audi's. Now I know why and that's because no sensors are needed. So every rim/tire combo I put on will me monitored by the ABS sensors. Cool :D
