    Steelie TPMS are different than alloy TPMS sensors, but you can turn the sensors 180° so they will fit.

    They just unbolt from the rim. Look at the valve stem and you will see a nut at the bottom against the rim. That is what holds them on. If you don't use them, your TPMS light will illuminate.

    He will only need to flip them if you are going from steel to alloy rims or vice versa. This what they look like:
