lpgao Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I attached two photos from wheel, I dont know what they are, are they TPMS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ls973800 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 The first picture shows the curb rash which appears to be light damage. Other than appearance, I don't think the structure of the wheel has been compromised. Vibration when driving, loss of air pressure, or pulling to one side would indicate wheel damage. Between the 11 an 12 O'clock postilion in that first picture, you can see the valve stem. On the inside of the wheel where the stem goes into the wheel is where the TPMS sensor is located. There is no way to remove the sensor other than by taking the tire bead off the wheel, or removing the tire completely. The second picture shows the wheel weights used to balance the tire and wheel. It has nothing to do with the TPMS sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
