Default New Work wheels fit TPS

I just got my new Work wheels I ordered from Derrick of D2Autosport mounted today. The wheels have 2 tire stem holes. The outer one is the usual 90 degree fill stem that is usually with the wheel to allow for the wide flat lip. However there is a second hole on the inside lip on the 45 degree stepped surface for the tire pressure sensor unit to mount. Good idea. One could easily copy if you had the fortitude to drill a hole through your expensive rims.

if there is already a second hole then it's not drilling

though personally, honestly? i might prefer drilling (done professionally)

Here is another photo, slightly out of focus, but with the TPSM mounted on the back rim with the stem fitting backwards. In the distance there is the normal hole for the 90 degree valve stem that goes out the front. It is lying on the rim.

Its is such an easy and good idea. I think it would be very easy to drill out the hole to put in the TPSM and if at a later date you didn't want it I don't think it would not be hard for a wheel shop to weld it closed. With it on the back it wouldn't show.

They are 18X8.5 F and 18X10's R so I could use the dreaded RF. Have the Dunlop 245/45-18's on the front and Michelin PS-ZP 275/35-18's on the rear.
