    Looks great! The old TPMS sensors should fit the replacement wheels. Your tire guy should be able to confirm the old ones will fit before proceeding. That will save you some money and time reprogramming.

    Hey @tomrr that looks just like my 2011! Red is such a great colour on a Jeep, and the red colour they use is a good one, imho. I just went through this with my Jeep, as the replacement wheels that I used were from a 2018 Jeep, and the sensors after 2013 don't work on the tpms system of our era Jeeps. I had the old ones, and they worked, but I decided to change them anyway for new ones. They run on a small battery, and even though some may say they last forever, about ten years is about the best most them will do. So, my vote goes to installing new ones if you intend to keep your nice Jeep for awhile. Not cheap, lol, I get why you would avoid this expense if there was another alternative! But, now mine are good for another 10 years, which is about the life of my Jeep, if I'm lucky.

    So I believe these wheels came off a 2016 or 2017 Jeep Wrangler. So are you saying that the TPS on these wheels can not be reprogramed to my 2012 ??

    @tomrr - Jeep has two different frequencies 315 MHz and 433mhz. They switched in 2013 from 315 to 433. So, sorry tomrr, there’s no way to program 433 MHz Tim’s sensors to work on a 315 MHz system.
