After researching where you guys are purchasing your TPMS sets I found that most of you picked them up from an ebay seller OEWheelsllc for $60/set. I found the seller but not selling TPMS sets. I suppose I could just pay $90/set from the other sellers but I figured I'd just ask you guys first.

Anyone know if and/or where to get the set for $60/set? Thanks.

I just called them and they are asking $100/set (which includes 4 service packs). Guess I missed the boat on the lower price this last spring.

still not bad for $100....those are like $80 each from the dealerships....

Just make sure you give them your Lexus/Dealer part #. I emailed them yesterday with the part # 42607-30030 Lexus/Sewell gave me as the part # I need for my 06 is250. Today they replied letting me know that the sensors they have do not match or are not compatible with the part # I provided.

Good luck

kingster

Yes! They are not bad compared to dealer prices. I called a few dealerships and the prices range form $100 - $121 ea. plus $80 for programing not including installation. The service pack is about $13 ea which other ebay vendors won't include in their TPMS sets.
Sewell of course will save you about $100 in parts.

If I could only find the exact TPMS that matches part # 42607-30030, I would pay $100 without thinking about it.

After looking around, I agree. Went ahead with an order.

I bought a set from seller "Centersplus" on ebay a few months ago. This is the second set that I've purchased. The first set, I bought from OEWheels. I was unsure about this new seller because he didn't have a good rating (it was just low sales.)

I emailed OEWheels about it and they said that they are basically the same seller. They just directed all of the caps/sensors to this new name/seller.

Hope that helps.

Edit:

These are the ones that I purchased from Centersplus for my 08 IS250. They were slightly cheaper back then.

Dang, they went up!
Paid maybe $60 for all four no more than a year ago!
$100/4 is still a win over OEM prices.

Dang, their prices did go up. I got a set for $66 shipped about a month ago.

"PMV-107J" is what you're looking for. The TPMS sensors are manufactured by a company called Pacific.

kingster

So, just for the record. You are saying that no matter what part number Lexus dealer or other vendors give you, the part # we should be more concern is "PMV-107J. Any other numbers not on the sensors are for the dealer to use to identify their parts only.
Most ebay, Pacific TPMS have the same exact #.
This means it will fit all IS models (2006- up)? Any feedback on that?

Just want to clarify this for some of us here.

Thanks

42607-30030 is a Lexus/Toyota part number. PMV-107J is the part number used by Pacific, and the one that's on the sensor itself. The PMV-107J sensor is used in many cars, so by searching for that more generic term you increase your likelihood of finding them on the cheap.

I've read reports of early 2006 models having slightly different TPMS sensors, but never found the info. I have a 2006 and PMV-107J works perfectly. Maybe someone else can chime in.

kingster

Yes, that's exactly what I have an early 2006 model but nobody has been able to post if any or which ebay (pacific)TPMS sensors work for these models.

Anybody has anything to add to this question.

Thanks for the reply.

the newer TPMS sensors will work on the pre- April 06 model's.

kingster

Your car is a 2006 but is it pre april and have you used these ebay "newer" TPMS sensors on your wheels?

thanks for the feedback
