Runflats on Ultraleggeras?

I don't know much about wheels, but wil OZ Ultraleggeras be compatible with the MCS flat tire monitoring? I want to get lighter wheels (than the current S-Lites, which is anything under 20" ) but still want to use runflats. There's just not enough room to carry a spare. Am I an idiot and the sensor isn't even on the wheels I have my assumptions...

I have no evidence to suggest that you are an idiot. The monitor senses rotation speed and so works with any wheel/tire combination. You should really consider real tires, though. Especially if you're going with reasonably light rims. I will never go back to runflats, unless there is some kind of technological breakthrough.

yeah what he said. the runflats will fit on any wheel. there is no real runflat sensor as the runflat monitor actually uses the ABS sensors to detirmine if there might be a flat tire... or so I was told...
