Only the G37 ones will work. They are expensive, why would you get new ones if yours are working? Getting a second set and keeping the originals in your OEM wheels?

BTW, LOVE the new wheels. More pictures once you get them cleaned and mounted up.

If you get new TPMS's, they will have to be re-programmed. Just re-use the stock ones. When they mount your new tires up, most shops will swap them over from your stock wheels for free.

I am not sure about the SF's, but the GTS's I have required an adapter. I ordered the 90 degree adapter from iForged, and it worked well. You can find these on iForged's website.

post some pics!
The sport model has that on the rotor to prevent idiots from mounting the wheels onto the wrong rotor.

I quoted your 'tardishness so ninja editing will not help you now.

Funny. Here's another example of 'tardishness (in my definition of 'Tards) right here:

Those fingernail or ring scratches that are under the door handle are evidence of a 'tard right there. I wonder who did it?? (not saying it was you, perhaps someone you know lol)
(I saw these pics as a guest long ago when you first posted, but I kept to myself)

If you read that whole post, you know there was a world of 'tardishness going on there (sadly, none of us are fully immune ). Betty is much happier with me now.

I was told by Ryan@Forged that the stock TPMS should screw right on to the volks with no need of adapters.
