Default TPMS What do they look like, how you take m off??

Ok I got my wheels installed on Friday (soft 8 with 33s) was so excited that I did not even think of the TPMS

How do you take them off?

Do I have to dismount the stock tire from the wheel?

Do they just come off?

Please help, I need to take this off before I shipp the wheels to their new owner

Thanks

The valve stem unscrews and then can be pylled through the inside of the wheel. They come off easy, the inside is a little box like thing about 1 inch by 2 inches or so.

These are not the actual ones but they look similar, except mine were grey.

A tire shop can remove the TPMS sensors from your wheels/tires without completely removing the tires. They were able to remove mine by unseating only one bead of each tire, reaching in pulling them out, then installing new rubber valve stems. They were able to re-seat each bead, and did not have to rebalance the wheels/tires cause they didnt rotate the tire at all. It kept the cost way down. I think I paid $30 to have them removed from my stock wheels/tires.
