While I was looking for 16" HFP rims I came across this notification. It concerns me since my vehicle comes equipped with TPMS. Based on the two links I posted it mention it will not work with the 08' Honda Fit due to TPMS. I am trying to picture it but maybe I am missing something. Is this true? Did anyone else have this issue? If not did anyone solve it? Driving with my TPMS light on is not really an option for me.

2007-2008 Honda FIT HFP 16" Alloy Wheels honda Wheel Shop

8-Spoke wheel design. Carbon bronze finish. Comes with HFP logo. Recommended tire size 205/45 R16. For 2007 Fit only.
NOTE: These wheels are not designed for the 2008 Fit due to the addition of tire pressure monitors. List price is for one wheel, not a set.

I appreciated your help.

^ Watch that video, its 4:34 long.

You should notice that on the '08 rims there is an indentation for the TPMS sensors; however, notice that those same sensors will fit in the '07 rims despite not having that ridge. The only downfall seems be that they will not be as snug due to the indentation missing.

 

That is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks Hootie I really appreciate the information you posted.

theyll be snug, honda tpms wheels have more weight on the opposite side to offset the weight of the sensor. usually the back of the spoke has more material, but ive installed sensors on non sensor rims and vice versa, the honda sensors are light enough that a good wheel balancing will take care of it
