Question about air pressure sensor and non stock wheels.

[Corcaa_Mazda2]

I want to use my 1999 Miata wheels (15 x 6) on my 2 but the air pressure sensor doesn't fit them. What I need to do to use them? I don't what the air pressure light to be always on. Thanks for your help. Gracias!

I am pretty sure if you take them to a tire shop they can mount the sensors. But iirc it isn't cheap.

I already did, but the sensor doesn't fit well and let the air escape. I see here a lot of 2 with aftermarker wheels, my question is what have they done with theirs. Thanks!

Ther are.many ways around this, most good tire shops have kits and or tools that can relocate or adapt the valve sensors. Some even use sensor bands inside the wheel to hold the sensor and you just use a regular valve stem.

you get used to the light being on

Pretty much this. Check your tire pressure every 2 weeks at home and pump up when necessary. I'm not sure what Mazda's TPMS set the flag at, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was something super low where it would be visible outside of the car (like 15psi).

Lol or you could just do the ghetto trick throw all your sensors in the spare wheel and leave air pressure at 32 psi

they banded mine and it works great. i had leaks too then they did this and no worries now
