New wheels and Tires

Hi guys, just bought some new aftermarket wheels and tires. I bought Privat Netz rims and also pirelli tires. I have 10' G37x sedan non sport and was wondering if I can transfer over the valve stems with TPMS from my stock rims to the new rims. Is there anything I should look out for or be aware of in doing this process? I am just conerned with the TPMS not working with the new rims. Thanks a lot for any help.

Should be no problems transferring the TPMS over to the new wheels.

Depends on how large the opening for the valve stem is. Not every aftermarket wheel is tpms compatible right off the bat. I don't have any experience with that brand but it should be as easy as trying it out. If you are concerned about it, just call Privat and ask them direclty if their wheels are tpms compatible.

That is actually a great idea. I am going to give them a call. Thanks for your help guys.

Correct, not all wheels can take the oem sensors. Valve stem hole must be right and the wheel machined beneath where the sensor sits in the barrel.
