    I bought some Fuel Blitz wheels and tires second hand. After installing them, I'm getting "Check TPMS" on the dash. I'm not sure if the new rims have them, is there an easy way to check or anything I can do to reprogram them if the do have them or is this a job for the tire shop? Pic included of what my aftermarket valve stem looks like. Thanks.

    If you still have the original wheels then your easiest cheapest route would be to have a shop swap them into the new wheels. That's what I did when I got new wheels and tires

    I do still have my OEM wheels, they are the basic steel rim. Is there a way to tell if these aftermarket ones have TPMS on them already and maybe these just need flashed or programed to fit my truck? I was told they came off a dodge ram.

    Really the only ways to know if they have tpms is to break the tire bead and look. Other option would be a tpms scan tool (tire shop) and see if it picks up a device.

    You'll save yourself time and frustration by going to your tire shop as advised ^^^^.
    I can tell you aftermarket sensors are available significantly more affordable than OEM. I didn't have sensors in my Winter rims 4 years ago. I went to have new tires mounted and my tire shop told me they couldn't mount my tires w/o TPMS sensors; not sure if an actual legal issue or insurance issue?
    I commented frustrated, "man, those things are over $100 a piece."
    They tell me, "we have aftermarkets a third of that price." Bottom line, they installed 4 sensors for $165 (parts & installation). No issues with them for 4 years running. I do my own seasonal changeovers and stop by their shop to have them scan and synch the sensors every Spring and Fall. I'm generally in and out in 5 mins w/o charge. Hope this helps, good luck.

    Sounds like I'm gonna hit the tire shop and go from there. Appreciate all the feedback so fast!

    I had them put my OEM sensors in my new wheels. If you aren’t going to use your old set I’d just have them swop them over.

    Tire shop is your best bet if you don't have the tool for programming the sensors. You can pick one up on Amazon very inexpensively, good to have in your toolbox, especially if you rotate your own tires like a lot of us do.

    If you didn't tell them to swap over the OEM ones, or you didn't tell them you wanted aftermarket ones in the new wheels, then they likely didn't install any. They aren't auto included and certainly aren't free. Check your receipt to see if you paid for sensors if you didn't tell them to swap the OEM ones over.

    You might be able to buy some cheap cap style sensors and sync them to your truck.

    Could be cheaper than dismounting and remounting the tires just to move over the OEM sensors.

    You are going to need to buy new ones. I've heard the sensors in steel wheels are not able to mount into alloy wheels
