I just got my aftermarket rims in today they're 18's I have 17's stock now, I went to a tire place to get them mounted and balanced and get the tire pressure sensor swaped over this is the problem, the tire place said they needed new bands and sensors for the 18s, I went to for and they were redicliously over priced, I called the tire place again and they said "O we made a mistake we only need the adhesive to hold the band onto the wheel" so I try and get the adhesive and the sales person said he didnt know what the tire place was talking about there is no adhesive??? So I leave all confused and frustrated as I'm driving home I stop into another tire place and they said they dont need anything they can swap them and make it work, but not today they were booked. Sorry for the long post but how did you guys with aftermarket rims do it, I want the new rims on but I'd still like a functional sensor.

Americanmuscle.com now carries the kits for transferring the sensors to new wheels. They also have a great selection of wheels and tires for our Stangs.

2 way tape as I have seen before will not work. New mands will be needed or just leave them off and live with the tire light.

is this only if you have the tire pressure sensors?

PROMETHEUS PRIME

Yes.

So theres no way around getting new bands?

Well, lets see................. no!...............unless you don't mind the light coming on. The kits are less that $20 each from American Muscle. With shipping probably $80 to your door. That's the cost of one from our friend, Edsal Ford's parts dept.
