TPMS adapters for aftermarket wheels

So how many of you have purchased TPMS adapters? Specifically for 2/3 piece wheels?

I have a set of Volk SF Winnings that I'd like to retain the factory TPMS. I have been looking at these 2 options so far as I would need the 90 degree option.

Fear is ultimately that they come loose inside the wheels and could damage both wheels and sensor.

I did post this in the tech section but I know theirs not a lot of traffic in that section.

Can anyone chime in if they have used anything as such? Thanks

Might shoot a PM to Rochester, Vossen sent him some low profile TPMS stems that may work for you too.

For their 19x8.5" wheels on Nissans with the Akebono BBK, Vossen ships (or used to ship) adapters that changed the orientation of the internal sensor. However, and AFAIK, they didn't do it for that purpose. The intent was to take advantage of the shorter valve stem extension, for clearance.

The adapters were from a company called HawksHead.

Well you dont have a choice like that with the Volks. The way they are designed and broken down, you would have to use a 90* stem for it to go through both the face and the barrel.

Ive gotten a few reply's on FB and all seem to have uses as mentioned in my original post.

Here is the Work one, again same concept with slightly variation of support. Think I'll sit on this a few more days and see what other kind of feedback I can gather before taking the plunge with one of these options.

That's what I thought watching the video, but Brad called Beetlejuice, so...

Miscellaneous Info, FTW.
