What kind of tpms sensor should I have?
My new 2013 6MT came with aftermarket crappy wheels, but it had the oem wheels in the trunk/back seat. Just had the bald tires dismounted so I could clean/prep/paint them, and they just have the rubber snap-in valve stems.
Do our cars use the clamp-in style (there is a metal collar with seal on the outside of the wheel) or snap-in style (the sensor bolts to the bottom of the valve stem inside the wheel?

thanks - that's the sleeve type (the metal sleeve is the part immediately below the valve cap that has a hex drive surface on it).
This is what I was referring to: (sleeve here is called the nut)
Clamp-in vs. Snap-in style TPMS Sensors
