    The same shit everyone else has.
    I plan on replacing my front tires and I while they are getting mounted, I wanted to ditch the TPMS sensors since they no longer work. 2 are missing, due to galvanic corrosion and a bad day, and has already been replaced with the run of the mill rubber valve stem. The remaining 2 do not work.

    I want to replace the TMPS sensors and stupid rubber stems with bolt through valve stems. I know there are a few different diameter valve stems out there - the BBS RS' on my Jetta use .303 stems and the Work VS-XXs on my old ladys car use a special Work valve stem.

    I was wondering if anyone else runs bolt through stems and could verify the valve stem diameter of the OEM 17" Sport wheels?

    THanks

    Found one of the old broken TPMS sensors tonight . Measures at .45". Valve stems are ordered and I'll update/verify when they arrive.
