Can You Use The Pressure Gauge With New Wheels?
I have new wheels and I want to continue to use the pressure gauge in the tires, is that possible?

If you are refeering to the TPS, then I would say maybe. It all depends on the design of the new wheels. In most cases they will work. Good luck.

You will need to check with the wheel manufacturer and see what they say. Even if the wheels are not set up to accept them, you may be able to use a band clamp to make it work.

If your after-market wheels are built to OEM specs, then the sensors should work. If not, its a crap-shoot. Some do, some don't. As others have said, if they don't fit in the original location, many epoxy or band the sensors directly on the rim. They either pull the valve core or cut the stem off.
