There are sensors in the wheels attached to the valve stems. I'd suggest getting 4 new ones from your dealer.
You could use the old ones over I suppose, in either case make sure you use a torque wrench.

you can transfer your valve stem/transmitters over to you new wheels. If you get a new set you will have to get them matched up with your car.....meaning a trip to the dealer. Besides, they are about 40 bucks each.

I didn't need a trip to the dealer, the car recognized them on its own.
Also, if you dealer gives you decent pricing on the sensors they can be had for quite a bit les than $40 each... my dealer gives me wholesale pricing for parts on my car:)

For 40 bux apiece , actually less with my SPACE CITY LX discount , I went and bought some from the dealer and had the tire people put them in when I purchased my new wheels.

lucky you....first trip I made they were wanting 75 each, then a few months later they were 38 each. Doesn't matter to me now, I don't even have the car anymore.

the srt sensors are $41 each list price and the R/T sensors are $31 each list price. there are two different tire pressure systems for these cars.

IIRC I paid like $28 each for the SRT ones...
Not sure what the difference is, I thought maybe because of the wheel diameter, but when installed it really doesn't look like its that critical. But then again, I haven't seen the RT ones.

Fancy little devices... they measure the tire pressure, act as the valve stem, transmit the measurement via radio to a receiver in the wheel well...
So they cost a little more than $10 each!

I'm amazed how accurate they are. I get the light when cold but after the tires warm up on the hiway the light goes off.
