    Steel TPMS are 40 degrees....bigger bend. When installed on alloy wheels or other wheels...it can stick out and get damaged or (maybe your wheels damage-my theory) when they have that tire crusher machine to deflate and remove the wheels. The solution is rotate it by 180 degrees and it suppose to work, but I don't want to chance it on my alloy wheels. Alloy TPMS are 20 degrees and are made for alloy wheels.

    The same thing with lug nuts...steel wheels have cone shaped lugs to align the wheel to the rotor. Alloy wheels are "Mag" style lug nut that are flat and has a washer. They are NOT supposed to be interchangeable. Meaning that the cone shaped lug nuts can fit into alloy wheels, but two things can happen 1. the cone shaped will make contact to the rotor, but the wheel is not on tight. 2. The cone shaped lug nut will deform the opening of the alloy wheel.
