Any recommendations for aftermarket TPMS sensors for my winter set of wheels?

I googled and searched this site, but didn't find anything. I saw Tire Rack sells some for about $59/each.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

When i bought my Winter tires and aftermarket rims i went along with the sensor they offered, like some standard stuff.
They did not fail me last Winter

I bought winter wheels and track wheels from Tire Rack and had them include the sensors in both sets. They have worked flawlessly to date.

We haven't had any trouble with aftermarket sensors at all. The sensors Tirerack provides are great.

Curious if there was any programming needed after installing the new wheels with new sensor. I bought my base 718 with aftermarket wheels. It also included the original oem wheels/tires which I just put on winter tires. I assume the original sensors would be there as well. I just put them on a few days ago. I keep getting a TPMS fault detection message. Wondering if the the place removed the sensors.

You need to tell the car there are new sensors. You do this by going to the tire pressure screen, clicking the button for more info, then selecting the type of tire (summer/winter) and the size. After that it should work within about 10 minutes of driving.

I have done this. Selected 19" winter tires. Still no go.....

Then one of three things:
1) There are no sensors on the wheels
2) They are the wrong type and not compatible with the 718
3) The batteries are dead and you need new ones. (Usually requires replacing the entire sensor)

4.) The sensors are "programmable" and need to be told that they're being run on a Porsche. The Huf aftermarket intellisens ones (orange/yellow colored) require this, for example.

These sensors were the original OEM ones that came on the original wheels/tires....
Batteries could certainly be dead..... Ugh.

I got the same ones TireRack sells (Huf) from Ebay for half the cost. Had tires installed at Discount tire (no idea what they did). When I picked up the car, the the TPMS menu prompted me to set them up. It was easy.
