Default Are TPMS sensor compatible with KMC Rockstars?

Just put rockstars on my 2011, ordered them with sensors and either these sensors aren't compatible or they are bad. Will the factory sensors work with KMC wheels?

Thanks

Don't see why they wouldn't work. I put the OEM sensors in my KMC XD Addicts.

Call another dealer. I always order from Tire Rack and have not had a problem reprograming mine. I could do my Buick myself but my wife's Nissan and Mazda go to the dealer. I think all cars should be able to be done by the owners. Another way for the dealers to make money. I will be buying new wheels for the F150 by spring and will find out then what will need to be done.

The sensors would not respond to the training tool.

Just checked Tire racks web site and they say to read you manual o find out how to have your vehicle recognize the new sensors. This is for a 2011.
