    R36 tpms sensors...sources?

    G'day all,

    I thought I might have a go at fitting the tpms sensors to my VMR 710 wheels...

    I have 3 intact from my old wheels, but will need at least one more.

    Anyone found a source of reasonably priced replacements?

    Hi Chris,

    I am considering the same wheels for my R36. I spoke to the guys at BMR autowerks in Sydney and they said they could supply and fit the sensors to the wheels. Maybe they can point you in the right direction?

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Adam,

    My guys said that my wheels would need to be drilled as the current sensors have a wider valve stem. Dun think they know too much about TPMS

    Thanks for the tip on BMR. I'll give them a try....

    Cheers

    No worries. Let me know how you go.

    What colour is your R36? What finish did you get on your V710's - I am thinking Hyper Silver?

    Very nice

    Are the wheels on the car yet? Would love to see what they look like on the wagon.

    Did you go 19" x 8.5"?

    Sure did... 255/35 x 19 contis with just a touch of camber on the rears and no rubbing.

    Pix- yes! when the car and wheels are clean....

    That's good to hear about the 255/35 tyres - wasn't sure if they would rub. Do you think if you didn't have the camber they would rub?
