Stock TPMS's with aftermarket valves/wheels?
I have some tires arriving tomorrow for some Volk RE30s. The Volks came with valve stems. I'd like to move the stock TPMS's over to the Volks. Is that doable? Ideally I would use the Volk valve stems with the stock TPMS's. Does that work or do I have to use the stock valve stems? Will the stock valve stems even work with the RE30s?

Thanks. Hrmmmm...the stock valves look pretty bad with my bronze wheels so now I need to decide if it's worth moving them over and maybe painting them, or just forgetting it and dealing with the TPMS light.

You could use electrical heat shrink tubing over the stems to change the look. It comes in a huge number of colors and sizes, and would probably be quicker and more durable then painting them.
