New wheels - TMPS issues

Guys, okay I am hoping someone can help me. I just got Work RXX wheels. Because of the style of the valve stem, I cannot put the TMPS sensors on the wheels. The guy at the shop suggested that I get a shop to drill holes, but I really do not want to do this.

This value stem is basically an "L" into the wheel. On the other hand, the OE wheel value stem goes directly into the side of the wheel. THis is why the TMPS units wont go on directly.

Has anyone had this same issue, and if so, how did you solve it?

Your wheel company should have adapters for the sensors - I have Vellano wheels - they have the right angle valve stems and provided the adapters with the wheels.

You can live with the light on or try to rig it in the wheel. Some of the wheels we carry do not accept the TPMS. Not very many but we do have a few.
