Best Aftermarket TPMS Sensors

[4RunnerMac]

I am looking for some aftermarket TPMS Sensors. I am running Fuel Maverick 18 x 9's and the factory sensors will not work in them due to the valve stem location. What aftermarket sensors are folks running that will communicate with the Toyota system properly. I wish i would have done more research on the front end and i would have chosen a different wheel. Oh well it is what it is now and i am tired of seeing that light in my dash.

I had one go bad, so at my next rotation I had them all replaced at Discount Tire. They know how to program them and since I bought my Michelins there, they didn't charge labor.

Where I work at when replacing them with aftermarket we usually go with a brand called VDO which are easy to get at any local part stores. I don't recommend using the brand Schrader, we have had bad experiences with those sensors not programming. But you can always just take it to a tire shop and they will more than likely have what you need since they will be installing and programming them(or I'm assuming that anyway).

Why won't they work for the wheels? Wrong angle?

Pacific or Denso are usually who makes Toyota's TPMS sensors.

Several years ago I bought a set of four used TPMS for my Hyundai Sonata for $60. The posting had the same 30 day guarantee and so far so good. See below.

Due to where the valve stem is located in the wheel the angle of the factory tpms sensors wont allow it to seat in the valve stem hole. The plastic part of the sensor contacts the wheel.
