Every major wheel manufacturer designs their wheels to accept TPMS.

A couple brands to start are MHT DUB/Driv/Foose/Niche/Neeper/Jesse James ( www.MHTwheels.com ), MKW/Bazo/Avenue ( www.MKwheel.com ), Enkei ( www.Enkei.com ), and I'm know many more are out there, but those are my most recommended brands.

Thanks for the info....do you know if Giovanna (WTW corp.) also does?

yes wtw wheels have the extra plug for the sensor... So does D'vinci, and some Zenetti's. Even if they do not have the extra hole, they can still be done... Just purchase an extra set with the valve stem attached from the dealer and put them in the new wheels. I know that you will have trouble with mounting them on most multi piece wheels.

They are part of the valve stem and will work with all aftermarket wheels. :)

Not all aftermarket wheels, though you can band the sensors on the inside of the wheel's barrel if it doesn't fit in the valve stem location. Most wheels will have no problems, but some do.

Let me know what wheels they do not work with, I indirectly work with a company that manufacturers a good percent of the sensors, many of the wheels that needed band now work, thank you

MKW MK44 required banding on a 2005 Cadillac Escalade sensor system. Though I believe MKW has revised their lineup.

Verde Diamonds required banding on a 2004 Lincoln LS.

I believe their were a few more, but I can't recall what they were.

Mostly older wheels and sensor setups. Thats why I mentioned earlier in this post that ALL wheels to properly fit a 2007 Escalade will accept TPMS.
