    So I want to pick up these newer alloy rims for my 06 taco b/c my current ones are peeling..uggh! Unfortunately, the newer ones don't come with the tire sensor or valve stem.

    Can I just swap out my stems and sensors and put them on the newer rims? Or is there other complications?

    Thanks in advance!

    If you are going from an alloy to an alloy you will be fine. If you are going from a Steel wheel to an alloy then you would have problems as the Steel wheel sensors are a 40* and the alloy sensors are a 20* sensor.

    Be sure to get the O-rings and other consumables replaced, to avoid leaks. The tire shop should be able to sell you a fit kit or service kit for the sensors.
