Tpms from tacoma steel to tacoma aluminum ?

Here is the deal, I obtained some 17"
tacoma wheels without the tpms sensors and want to use the tpms sensors off of my stock 16" tacoma steel wheels. I was told I could do this by turning the sensors 180 degrees and this would work. Anyone out there have a concrete for sure answer. I really do not wish to spend 145.00 plus tax each for new ones. Thanks. the new wheels are 2012 tacoma take offs aluminum cast.

 

You could always build a pipe bomb. Mine has held for almost 2 years now with no recharging or maintenance needed.

Discount Tire installed the steel Tacoma wheel sensors in my new wheels. Been there for three years with no problems.
