Default Strange iForged TPMS adapters ques.

I called iForged to get some TPMS adapters for my Volk GT-F 2 peice wheels.

I was under the assumption that the iForged adapters were the ones seen in their press release, basically a valve stem (either 90* or straight) with a hole mount for the sensor.

When my order arrived, there were 4 little metal bracket clips in the package.

I called iForged and was told the valve stem type were for USA built vehicle TPMS sensors, and the Japan sensors do not fit the valve stem type units.

The little metal clip style was for Japan cars.

Has anyone used the metal clip/bracket style with success?

My wheels aren't here yet, so I want to be prepared.

Thank you,

I use these and yes, they're a bit different than what you see in the pictures. They work fine, don't worry. Just be aware that the tire pressure sensor must be mounted "facing" the barrel wheel. In other words, the valve stem portion of the sensor will be touching the barrel, not facing away. Mounting them this way will ensure that if you have a flat you won't crush your tire pressure sensors.
