TPMS off SR steel wheels

I bought some rims that came of a TRD Taco. Theyre 16 inch same as my SR steel wheels. I took one of the wheels off, took the TPMS off. Looks to be one piece with the nut to install it. My question is... my TRD rims have the rubber tire valves minus any TMPS sensors, he took them off. Can I use the whole TPMS sensor on the TRD rims or does the OEM one that was on the steel rims come apart more so I can use the rubber valve stem with the OEM sensor? Thanks, I hope it makes sense.

 

The steel wheel sensor are different than for the aluminum trd wheels. They are a 180° different. I read/heard they can be installed still (180°) off. Can't confirm that, I personally have not tried to do so. There is some threads on here about doing so. Try searching.

 

OK, thanks for the info na8rboy.

 

Well, I took off rubber valve stem from TRD alloy rim and took TPMS sensor off steel rim. I thought I'd try it just to see difference in sensor angle. It fits like a glove on the alloy rim, go figure. Dunno if it'll hold air thats next if I can get my new tires on the rim.
