Andy, how would you know if the wheels were designed to accept the sensors and how would you know if they were counter weighted prior to having them installed? Is there a flat or machined area that would visually indicate if they were built to accept the TPMS?

And by the way, I've dealt with GMPartsHouse on a number of occasions and was pleased
with them every time.
