I just install a set of new rims on my car, however the TPMS won't fit and now the TPMS light stays on all the time, is there anyway I can disable that .. ?

the sensors go inside when the tires are being put on. The only way to disable would be to put tape over the light, or have someone de-solder the LED lol. Besides that one person sealed the sensors into a container and set the amount of pressure to the OEM pressure.

What wheels & tires did you end up going with?

Here's the PVC pipe trick equinox is talking about:

I'm trying to remove my gauage cluster so that I can remove the light bulb for the TPMS light, anyone know how to do that ?

Nice expensive wheel. I am surprised the TPM doesn't fit.

you wont be able to remove the light bulb, but you could put electrical tape over the actual LED. You could only remove it if you have experience removing surface mount components from a circuit board.

thanks for finding it, as I did a few searches and gave up lol

The PVC pipe trick is a he11 of a lot easier, and will keep the TPMS system intact if you or anybody else puts on different wheels sometime in the future.

I kind of get the feeling you just really want to tear into your gauge cluster.

Yes .. take that F**king LED bulb out = no more problem in the future ... =)
