I recently acquired some awesome new BMW style 216 rims (thanks Bimmer-Bob!), but am having TMPS issues.

The shop I took them to couldn't get the TPMS/Valve stems on the wheels snugly. Basically, they were loosey-goosey.

I'm fairly certain they are the appropriate TPMS. I ordered them from Tire Rack.

HUF TPMS Sensor: 100008 RDE008
HUF TPMS Valve Kit 43mm G2: RDV021 0535007021

From the research I've done, this is the correct stuff. I then stumbled across this:

Basically, I'm missing this washer that keeps the valve stem stable. Any ideas where I can get 4 of these washers? What size are they?

Help!

Thanks!

Sorry to take so long to get back to you.

Off the top of my head, I can't think about what the problem might be - I've ordered TPMS kits from Tire Rack twice, for two different sets of wheels (including once for these wheels I sold to you) and never had any problems. Any chance you got the wrong TPMS kit?

So today I was messing with the sensors. Turns out there is like a thread-lock thing on them, and if you tighten the nut with a wrench, you get past the lock and can tighten the nut all the way down. Why Pep Boys didn't figure this out, I'll never know. Actually, I think I do know; they're idiots.

Anyway, the wheels/tires got put on this evening. I'll post pics soon. They look PURRTY

Sweet! Glad you got everything sorted. Wheels look great! Would've kept then forever myself, only I wanted something lighter for autocross and didn't want to mess with two sets of wheels. Hope they serve you well for years to come!
