    Hi Folks,

    I just bought black 15" wheels with tires. The seller said that they have TPMS but my sensors went off this morning driving to work. I tried to reset procedure but can't get the TPMS light to start blinking. It just stays solid. Am I doing something wrong? Or do the wheels that I bought not have the sensors :X

    You cannot 'reset' the TPMS system to recognize new sensors from the car itself. The car needs to be reprogrammed with the new sensor serial numbers through the OBDII port. If you buy through a tire shop, they should do this for you. If you buy from a private party, then you will need to pay someone -- Toyota dealer, tire shop, friend with the reading/programming tools, etc. -- to do it.

    Also, the TPMS come complete with metal valve, with integrated hold-down nut:
