Default Switching TPMS to new wheels???????????

I was hoping someone could tell me exactly what I need to change my Tire Pressure Monitors from my stock wheels (2004 thin spokes)to an after market set on a 2004 convertible. Thanks in advance and

Easiest way...

Remove wheels from car, and make a mark or note the location of where each wheel was on the car (ie; front left).
Remove tire, remove sensor from old wheel. Mount sensor in new wheel, and then mark that wheel with the same location (ie; make sure that one goes on the front left of the car).

This way you will not have to reprogram the sensors to the car.

You shouldn't need anything else for the swap. The late style (01-04) tire sensors do not use O-rings, they have a thick rubber washer attached to them that is reusable. So as long as your new wheels have a conventional valve stem hole, it's a simple matter or removing from the old and installing into the new wheels.
