TPMS Solved!
Quoted from another section on evom but for those of you who dont journey past our section or may have missed this here you go.
The following is to fix that annoying warning that everyone gets when they change or swap rims. For myself this solution is cheaper than swapping the sensor from my winter rims to my summer rims. The materials cost 12 $ and this is a one time thing.
Here is what you will need.
1 pvc pipe adaptor 4".
1 pvc cap 4".
1 abs plug 4".
pvc cement.
1 valve stem.
You will also need the following items.
Drill, drill bits, pliers and 15 minutes of your time.
1- Here is the material needed.
2- Drill the pvc pipe anywhere, you will need this hole to insert the stem. The size will vary on the size of the stem that you will select.
3- Put cement around drilled hole.
4- Insert valve stem and pull tightly with pliers.
5- Put pvc cement around cap and adapter section.
Note. The cement smells really strong and this should be done in a well ventillated area.
6- Insert cap on the end.
7-Finished product, you can paint it any colors you like.
Then you simply put your sensors inside the canister with cotton *****, and inflate it to the required psi. You toss that thing in your spare tire storage and your car will think your tire pressure is alright. No matter how many times you change your tires, rims or swap from winter to summer, you will not have to pay that dude to re-install those sensor on your new rims everytime. If you ever have any problem or need your sensor for anything, simply unscrew the top of the abs cap and voila.
Enjoy

I got my sensors sitting in a baggy in my glove box so I'll try this when I get some free time.
I'm still away on a trip so when I get back I'll see about whipping something up.
I really hope it works as good as the guy says it does.

turbotime is there a thread link. I wanna follow these developments.
I thought the spinning force charges the Tpms. if so, there has to be away to find ones that has a lithium ion battery source maybe, I dont know, jsut throwing it out there. I cant wait to finally solve this, winter driving is such a pain

This will work. I have had customers come into my work with MB and Land Rovers who want after market wheels.
Some after market wheels do not allow the TPMS sensor to fit correctly. Per the customers request, we have Gorilla glued sensors to the barrels of wheels, then mounted the tire over them with a regular rubber stem.
Never had an issue.
